Izvestia asked the Finance Ministry how they assess the initiative to stimulate the return of relocated workers. Any preferences could become a motive for specialists who have left to return to their homeland, believes Agvan Mikaelyan, a member of the board of directors of the audit and consulting network FinExpertiza. However, most bolivia whatsapp resource IT specialists did not leave because they did not like the working conditions in Russia, he continued. They emigrated because of potential risks and the narrowing of opportunities associated with the imposition of sanctions on the country. At the same time, despite their departure, most of them continue to work for companies in the Russian Federation.
In general, the proposals of the authors of the initiative can be supported, but relocators should not be given privileges at the expense of the state, believes Professor of the Department of Labor and Social Policy of the Institute of Social Sciences of the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration Alexander Shcherbakov. According to him, the market should be equal for everyone.
— The number of specialists who left the country is estimated at about 100 thousand people. About half of them have already returned back, that is, a maximum of 60 thousand remained abroad. At the same time, the number of people employed in the industry is estimated at almost 740 thousand, and the deficit is more than 500 thousand. Therefore, even if all the IT specialists who left the Russian Federation return, the shortage of personnel will remain, — believes Maxim Maksimov, associate professor of the Department of Corporate Management and Innovation at the Plekhanov Russian University of Economics.
In addition, about 350 thousand students are already undergoing training in IT fields, he continued. Thus, it is most expedient to support this market saturation track by creating a larger number of budget places and increasing the level of training of specialists, the expert believes.
As for the proposal to attract personnel from abroad, it makes sense to employ primarily Russian-speaking specialists from the post-Soviet republics - they will not have problems with the language barrier and adaptation, noted Maxim Maximov. According to him, Kazakhstan, Moldova and Uzbekistan have the greatest reserves in this regard.
At the same time, the problem of IT shortage has an ambiguous effect on the labor market, says Yulia Dolzhenkova, professor at the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation. On the one hand, employers are forced to offer higher salaries, sometimes unreasonably, improved working conditions and a competitive social package. Also, companies invest heavily in developing their brand. At the same time, the quality characteristics of Russian specialists are declining. According to the expert, this is due to the outflow of qualified personnel and insufficient training of such employees during their training period.
