These are the results obtained by analysts of the Avito Work platform based on the results of the third quarter of 2023. The IT sector took third place in terms of the growth rate of average salaries offered for part-time work, second only to administration and consulting.

Avito Work also notes that not only employers are interested in part-time employees, but also job seekers themselves have begun to pay more attention to vacancies of bulgaria whatsapp resource this type over the past year, including IT specialists. In the third quarter of 2023, they, along with telecom professionals, responded to part-time vacancies 1.3 times more often than in the same period in 2022.

of Avito Work, the increase in salary offers for candidates looking for part-time work is directly related to the high personnel shortage in the country: "Employers, by attracting part-time workers, use the opportunity to fill the need for specialists, attracting them during periods of peak workload or increased consumer demand. The total number of part-time vacancies increased by 4.6 times in the third quarter of 2023 compared to the same period last year. Part-time employment allows the employer to expand the search for potential qualified workers who, for whatever reason, cannot work full-time, and at the same time optimize the wage fund budget."

HR Director of Unlimited Production LLC (developer of the eXpress corporate communications platform) Lidiya Pozdnyakova sees four main reasons for hiring part-time workers: "When a specific task needs to be completed urgently; there is no need to hire full-time; the team needs short-term assistance from additional resources - for the period of an employee's illness or in the event of an increase in the volume of tasks; the company may not have internal expertise in a specific narrow area, and it will not be needed in the future."

HR business partner of Utrace LLC Maria Balaeva believes that the mass transition to remote work in 2020-2021 gave IT companies the opportunity to move away from the classic "employer - office - employee" labor relations: "For many, this became an opportunity to completely restructure work with employees: they were able to form more flexible teams and quickly maneuver labor resources. For example, direct the core team to solving strategic tasks, and hire part-time workers for specific projects. This made it possible to fulfill obligations to clients even in the face of a serious personnel shortage in the market. Now a hybrid team composition and the involvement of part-time workers is the norm for most employers in the IT sector."

Head of the Recruitment Group at Reksoft LLC Kristina Gurochkina believes that it is advisable to hire only the most in-demand specialists as part-time workers: "For example, when it comes to Senior-level specialists. Also, the practice of part-time work is logical when a company enters into a project in a new area and there is no understanding whether it will be possible to get it or not. Hiring a high-level specialist for pre-sales and initial consultations with a potential customer is quite appropriate. However, the condition for such cooperation will most likely be a transfer to the staff upon signing a contract. For all customers, 100% return on the project is important."

According to Maria Grigorovich, HR Director of SL Soft LLC (part of Softline Group), the demand for part-time workers in the IT industry is growing, because the labor market is currently very competitive: "Companies do not always manage to attract employees for full-time employment, but it is important for them to obtain expertise, which can be quite expensive - in this case, the opportunity to collaborate with a specialist of a narrow profile on a part-time basis becomes a way out of the situation. At SL Soft, we work with part-time workers - there are one-off capacious and technological projects. Or the business approach can coincide with the capabilities of a specialist, when we understand what kind of employment and for what period we can attract him, then everyone is comfortable."

However, job seekers can also bring problems. For example, at a webinar on the accreditation of IT companies, held by the Minister of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media of Russia Maksut Shadayev in May 2023, one of the participants expressed the opinion that the problem of non-compliance with salary requirements, which is fraught with the loss of accreditation, usually arises in companies with a large proportion of part-time workers.
