The objects of market research of the labor market are found such as: the market itself and its segmental structure; labor market marketing complex; factors of the formation and development of the labor market - in the first place, demographic, educational, economic; system of labor market links. The priorities of marketing research are differentiated, which may be different.

The components of the marketing policy of the labor market, the marketing complex in the labor market research, as the basis for the formation of the marketing policy of its development, are considered.

Originality. 1) the difference of the labor market from the traditional market in the orientation towards satisfaction of the needs of the consumer was revealed. 2) the objects of marketing research of the labor market are described. 3) The factors of marketing influence on the labor market situation are systematized.

The methodological basis of this approach is the marketing concept of the labor market, which embraces market research, market segmentation and marketing policy in the context of the components of the marketing mix. For each component of such a complex key indicators are defined: commodity component - competitiveness, labor potential, human capital, labor productivity; distributive - employment structure (territorial, branch, educational and qualification); price - the minimum and average wages, the social package of the employer; promotional - the load on vacancies, migratory load.
