摘要:The problem of companies with a lack of talent is currently undeniable. Attracting well-qualified, motivated employees with the willingness to work and develop has an increasing role in more and more corporate strategies. Understanding and mapping the needs and expectations of a young generation leaving universities might put employers in a competitive position and shorten the lengthy process of recruitment. Existence of major financial incentives is an advantage in terms of attracting workforce, but taking into account its retention-related function, it is unlikely that it will have a long-term motivating effect on the most talented employees. A deliberately elaborated career management system begins with the selection process and flexibly changes until reaching the career objective by taking into account the interests of both employee and employer. The possibility of international assignments, coupled with a willingness to mobility, might raise the interest of students entering the labour market. Meeting challenges, and having international work experience makes employees competitive, and an international career becomes achievable. Present study examines the opinion of university graduates in relation with international assignments. It is based on the graduates of the University of Debrecen, Faculty of Economics. They are right before entering the labour market. The data collection was carried out by means of a paper-based questionnaire in autumn 2018; it was completed by 294 people. The questionnaire contains a word association test, multiple choice questions and blocks to be assessed on the Likert scale. According to the findings, it can be stated that the majority of the students of the sample would accept the opportunity of an international assignment before entering the labour market. Correlation between career-related ideas and work experience is indisputable. The willingness to accept an assignment might provide significant information to potential companies, but if expectations do not meet experiences, motivation and interest might show a declining tendency.
