Therefore, analysis of competencies is essential for the candidates who will be the future employees to understand the strategic directions of an organization. The objective of this study was to identify the competencies which were required in the future employees by the human resource management to increase performance of an organization. This research has been accomplished by analyzing the application of competencies in candidates who were seeking jobs in Malaysia. A qualitative research method has been chosen by having in-depth interviews of six graduates of business and management studies from Kuala Lumpur.
