These certificates can be used at the recruitment stage as one of the criteria for selecting candidates. The aim of the presented research is to show the usefulness of project management certificates in the labor market. The main output of the analysis is to show whether certification is used as a criterion during recruitment and which certificates are the most wanted. The obtained conclusions are important both for project managers, business owners and recruiting companies.
