A review of the employment market for banks and finance: November 2014

The economic and political situation in the country could not but affect the personnel market of the Russian Federation. Almost half of the company executives do not forecast a bright future for employment in the next year and a half. Experts portal Trud.kom suggest assessing the current situation in one of the most stable segments of the labor market - the banking and financial industry. As a result of the conducted studies, key trends characteristic of market participants were revealed.

Characteristic trends of the Russian HR market in the current year

Growth of demands on the part of employers. Not every university in the country is equally weighty in the international arena. In connection with this, with a large number of candidates, there is a shortage of personnel with a high-quality education. With the growth and expansion of the field of activity of the company, top managers are increasingly paying attention to the availability of work experience in foreign companies, knowledge of foreign legal documents and the possession of an excellent language.

The relevance of employment through friends and acquaintances is kept. Leaders want to see important positions in the financial sector not only responsible specialists with experience and experience, without criminal record, but also as reliable as possible. So to speak, "trusted persons". Every fifth applicant finds a vacancy precisely because of personal ties. 92% of the unemployed believe in the effectiveness of this particular method of job search. In turn, over 70% of employees are ready to recommend a good employer to relatives and friends.

Increase the mobility of staff. 60% of the unemployed are ready to move to another city or country to build a successful career. Specialists Trud.kom note that the favorites for the number of vacancies are Moscow and the region, St. Petersburg, Ekaterinburg, Nizhny Novgorod, Samara, Novosibirsk, Krasnodar. Candidates are now much more willing to move to the suburbs, Leningrad region, Yekaterinburg, Nizhny Novgorod and other cities with a million population than to the capital or Petersburg. Transport problems, high prices of food and real estate contribute to the strengthening of these trends.

Individual problems of the financial sector

Banking and finance accounts for 12% of the economy. The sector's employees include: cashier, financial director, economist, loan expert, bank manager, cash collector, commercial director, other positions. 42% of citizens work in companies with more than 1000 employees. 62% are involved in international organizations. Among the most frequent reasons for changing jobs, the candidates identified:

More interesting kind of activity - 53%;

A larger amount of wages - 50%;

Service growth - 45%.

The current economic trends do not allow the business to expand and increase its potential. Because of a lack of investment and restrictions in the legislative framework, many enterprises can not significantly increase the salary scale to the level expected by applicants. To date, in the banking and financial sector, the average wage proposals in rubles are as follows:

• Moscow - 46400;

• Petersburg - 47400;

• Ekaterinburg - 28400;

• Nizhny Novgorod - 31060;

• Samara - 21200;

• Novosibirsk - 30700.
