2. DESCRIPTION OF INDUSTRY AND COMPANY
The development of the Russian economy has led to the formation of a complex labor market system. The search for specialists has become for many companies an important task, which recruitment agencies help them to cope with. Mediating between employers and applicants, recruitment agencies are engaged in professional search for suitable employees for companies and employment. Currently, almost all companies interested in finding personnel use the services of recruitment agencies.
The Russian labor market is becoming more mature: the structure of personnel services, the balance of supply and demand are changing. The popularity of staff recruitment and provision services is growing every year. At the end of 2016, the turnover of the recruitment services market amounted to 6.5 billion rubles. The total number of vacancies transferred to agencies decreased by 18%, but at the same time the average cost of services increased.
Today in Russia there are 1200 recruitment agencies, which employ more than 15 thousand people.
It is worth noting that 2016 was not easy for the recruitment services market: the unstable economic situation had a negative impact on the industry, which provoked a slight decrease in the market volume (by 5.8%). Many companies, in order to optimize costs, have abandoned the services of recruitment agencies, while others have tightened recruitment requirements, which has complicated the work of agencies.
The main trends in the market for recruitment services:
– the increase in the number of “complex vacancies” with high requirements for experience, competence and narrow specialization;
– the impact of globalization on the labor market – increasingly, employees are looking for not only in other cities, but also abroad;
– cooperation with freelancers and employees who can work remotely. In Russia, the remote work market is actively developing. The number of vacancies offering such a job is about 35% of the total share of ads;
– gradual automation of all HR processes. While this trend is not widespread in Russia. According to statistics from the HeadHunter portal, today only 18% of companies invest in the development of this area. However, 50% of companies are ready to allocate a budget for the automation of HR-processes.
