In Moscow, the first stage of selection of applications from companies for participation in state programs to support employees who are under threat of dismissal or who have lost their jobs due to sanctions has been completed. More than 140 state and commercial companies have been selected to provide a total of more than 15,000 new jobs in the form of permanent, temporary employment, as well as public works, said Moscow Vice Mayor for Social Development Anastasia Rakova.

In April, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin approved a program to support employers and employees who are at risk of being fired. We are talking about the organization of temporary and public works, vocational training and additional professional education for employees of industrial enterprises at risk of dismissal, as well as the adaptation of employees to a new workplace.

“In the very first days of accepting applications, we recorded the high interest of state and commercial companies in these programs. The Expert Council has determined a list of employers that meet all the criteria. Based on the selection results, more than 140 companies will create jobs for more than 15,000 potential employees. This will allow us to keep the situation on the labor market stable,” the deputy mayor said.

The selected companies will receive grants in the form of subsidies for the creation of new jobs. According to Rakova, 3.36 billion rubles have been allocated from the state budget for these purposes.

Companies that are ready to accept more than 200 employees for temporary jobs will receive partial compensation for the costs of staff salaries, insurance premiums for each employee and the logistics of the workplace. Employers who can employ more than 300 workers within three months and adjust for them to a new workplace will receive grants in the form of subsidies to compensate for costs. Organizations needing helpers for socially useful public works will receive subsidies to offset the partial cost of wages and insurance premiums for each employee. Such companies will be able to accept new workers from among the applicants registered with the employment service. Industrial enterprises that will keep the employment of employees at risk of dismissal, will be able to implement training according to their needs and receive compensation for the corresponding costs.

Muscovites who are at risk of being fired or have lost their jobs, in turn, will be able to get new jobs, both temporary and permanent, as part of the program.

Employees who are temporarily idle, part-time or weekly may go to temporary work. The main workplace and the payments established by law are preserved. Muscovites who have lost their jobs can also temporarily take public jobs while they look for a new permanent job. The option of permanent employment with a short adaptation stage is available from large employers participating in the program who are ready to create at least 300 jobs in three months.

Who will help with new jobs

The participants of the state program to create new jobs were the centers of public services "My Documents", the Main Archive of Moscow, the territorial centers of social services, the Moscow Metro, FPC, "Post of Russia", "Magnit", the restaurant chains "Rosinter", "Teremok", the capital's chocolate and confectionery factory "Rot Front", tour operator for children's recreation "Mosgortur" and others.

The Moscow Metro, in particular, offered more than 3.2 thousand jobs for permanent and temporary employment, as well as public works. “In connection with the commissioning of new stations, the construction of new facilities, the number of employees and the number of vacancies is growing. <…> We have the opportunity to contribute to maintaining the stability of the Moscow labor market,” said Irina Tsareva, Deputy HEAD of the Moscow Metro’s Human Resources Department. She clarified that both technical professions are in demand in the company - an electrician, an electrician, an electric and gas welder, a track fitter and others, as well as mass ones - an electric train driver and a station attendant.

Experts named the highest paid vacancies in major cities Society

“As part of the support of the state program, we will employ 400 people for public works. Candidates will have access to such vacancies as a stacker-packer, a designer of finished products, a transporter, an operator of a food production line. New employees do not need special training, education, skills or abilities - we teach everything at the workplace,” said Ekaterina Belyaeva, Deputy Head of the Rot Front HR Department.

The company "Teremok" reported that they are ready to provide 200 temporary jobs and 200 jobs with permanent employment. “We invite applicants to become part of the Teremok team — to bake pancakes and serve guests. For new employees who have never done such work, we offer training: we train order pickers and cashier chefs. The training lasts from two to six days,” explained Antonina Antipova, head of the personnel department.

Retailers Magnit and Dixy are ready to offer another 2,000 temporary jobs, said Elena Mazurova, regional head of the retail recruitment company.

Other support measures

In March, a new employment center “My Job” opened in Moscow on Kuusinen Street, specializing in the employment of employees of foreign companies at risk of dismissal. On the one hand, the center's team works with companies that have announced the suspension of their activities, finds out from them which personnel may be laid off. On the other hand, the specialists of the center are in contact with stably operating companies in which there is a need for personnel. Thus, as explained in the employment center, if necessary, the transition of employees from one enterprise to another "with a minimum of formalities and stress."

In addition, last year the Moscow Employment Service offered businesses a new recruitment technology. We are talking about recruiting centers that companies can open on the site of the employment center. Currently, eight such centers have been created - the Moscow Metro, the Russian Post, the energy company MOEK, Magnit, Dixy, the Moscow Construction Complex, KuulClever-Myasnov and Cherkizovo.

“In fact, this is a recruitment agency within the employment service: the employer contacts the My Job center and gets access to the service’s personnel database in order to find suitable candidates,” Rakova explained. According to her, this technology helps to optimize the time and cost costs of the employer to find motivated candidates with well-written resumes.

The situation on the labor market

According to the Moscow Employment Service, since the beginning of 2022, more than 40,000 people have found jobs with the support of the service, 26,000 of them in the last three months. Nearly a third of jobseekers who applied for employment support went to the service industry as business managers, cooks, waiters and couriers. Another 19% of candidates became owners of office professions. The positions of accountant, lawyer, economist and personnel manager turned out to be the most popular in this area. In third place in popularity (more than 15%) - wholesale and retail trade. The most demanded in this segment were sales assistant, cashier, merchandiser, sales manager and marketing specialist.

“The Russian labor market has recently been very scarce (a shortage of personnel, the number of vacancies prevails over the number of candidates. -). Therefore, there is no need to wait for any serious shocks and a serious increase in unemployment to critical levels,” says Alexei Zakharov, SuperJob President.

Natalia Danina, chief expert on the labor market at hh.ru, head of client efficiency, agrees with him. According to her, the imbalance of supply and demand in the labor market, which was observed at the beginning of 2022, still remains. “There were so many jobs that there weren’t enough people willing to take them,” she explains. After February 24, according to her, according to the data for the second half of March, the dynamics of vacancies compared to the beginning of 2022 went down (minus 5%). “But even the current decrease and decrease in the number of vacancies is still very large overall,” says Danina.

Moscow Vice Mayor Rakova said in mid-April that there were more than nine job offers for every unemployed person in the capital. The level of registered unemployment in Moscow, according to the latest data from the city authorities, is less than 0.5%.

“We continue to closely monitor the situation and maximize employment opportunities for citizens in stable operating companies. State support measures and the amount of funding, if necessary, will create 58,000 jobs. Based on real needs, we will be able to continue the selection process to subsidize employers who are ready to create jobs,” Rakova added.
