The work of the HR specialist

Hello! My name is Tony, and i’m a young russian HR specialist. In my blog i want to write about everything that concerned me in my profession activity. I think that this will be interesting  and useful. For me this is opportunity to find new friends and colleagues, who interested in Russian economic life and especially in HR sphere.

For today my work involve with producing of schoolchildren science competition, which  organised in a frame of corporate program of the “RusHydro” company.

Also i work with a expert group under the project of a human capital of territory assesment. We develop a new ways of assessing of economic potential of a region, that can be compared with Richard Florida  index of region creativity.

I invite you to discuss a next themes here:

• the ways of young specialist attraction (the best recruitment practices)
• the ways of building a corporate education and assessment systems
• the ways of assessment of economic potential of a region, based on subjective factors (like a psychological and social characteristics of human capital)
• a case studies of all themes are above

A few words about Russian HR specific

Migrants from ex-USSR countries work in Russia like a slaves

After analysing of many HR practice a may say that in our country the traditions of planning economy are strong yet. Not all, but most of the SEO still think about their workers like about slaves, which have a privelegy to work in his business. Is accept to FSMG companies: supermarkets, minimarkets, bakaly, etc. Heavy taxes forces employers to take on migrants from the ex-USSR countries.

On the over hand – the rising IT and high-technical sector of Russian economy needs a experienced personnel, and competition for they is growing year by year. So, the large state companies (like RusHydro, United machine builders and others) have develope a syn programs, aimed to PR, attraction, recruitment , motivation of stuff.  Specially the engineer stuff.

So, the Russian HR specific is as folows:

a) Low level of goverment regulations

b) High competition for the experienced engineer personnel

c) Bad demography

crossing of death rate growing (black line) and birth rate falling (gray line)

The last thesis is clearly illustrated on the  picture above. In a next time i’ll write about the most popular arrangements to overcome this threads.
