Against the background of disturbing crisis news, sprouts of positive information begin to break through timidly. The first such information comes from the recruitment market. According to recruiting agencies, last month, signs of revitalization were outlined in this market for the first time in a long time. Analysis of the situation with an unexpected turn in this market allows, in our opinion, to make some interesting observations.
The first of these observations confirms the opinions of experts that large -scale personnel contractions of personnel have been panic in the fall of 2008. Reduction of entire units under the pretext of budget optimization led to a deficit of specialists. Many companies “Work on mistakes” began to be carried out immediately in hot pursuit. There are cases when the employee had just received and received compensation proposed to begin to fulfill his duties. Now, personnel services, it seems, have begun planned work on correcting distortions with optimization of personnel number.
Labor market situation
Another probable reason for the restoration of the personnel market is to fill in the “deferred” positions. The beginning of the crisis was accompanied not only by reductions and dismissal of staff, but also by the fact that most open vacancies were frozen by companies. With the advent of signs of revitalization of the economy, such vacancies began to gradually return. Mostly, here we are talking about specialized specialists, as well as about middle managers, office workers. The most positive point in this sense is that among the newly discovered vacancies there are managers of construction projects and similar specialists. After all, it is precisely such positions that indirectly confirm the beginning of the movement of the real economy in the right direction.
Another important point concerns a major change associated with a change in the salaries of hired specialists. The currently offered compensation packages are substantially cut, for some positions 2-3 times. Experts evaluate such a trend as negative. Of course, the vacancies put to the market will be filled, but the qualifications of the staff gained to these positions will be much lower than before the crisis. Salary decrease is a good way to optimize the budget, but if you take the interns in the company for part -time work, then, probably, you should not expect high professionalism from him.
In general, experts evaluate new trends in the personnel market in different ways. Among the opinions there is also such that revival is unlikely to be long. The crisis lives its own life, and what the following grimaces will be, no one knows.
