Human Resources <strong>and</strong> the Labor Market Situation<br />

<strong>and</strong> 10.5 thous<strong>and</strong> students thoroughly studying<br />

The more companies are export-oriented, the<br />

more acutely they feel the lack of specialists. Typically,<br />

they require professionals not only highly competent<br />

in <strong>software</strong> development but also fluent in foreign<br />

languages. There are few specialists combining these<br />

skills on the labor market, because historically topclass<br />

experiences developers do not know foreign<br />

languages at the level required.<br />

Most hired in 2008 specialists by companies' location<br />

The lack of staff is more often felt by companies<br />

the smaller their size is. This does not mean the<br />

dem<strong>and</strong> for services of small companies has reduced<br />

less. What is important is the fact that large companies<br />

have more opportunities for employment.<br />

The bigger the city the less critical the shortage<br />

of staff is. Apparently, this is caused by the fact<br />

that in major cities such as Moscow, St. Petersburg<br />

<strong>and</strong> Novosibirsk there are more major banks <strong>and</strong><br />

companies operating in different sectors that reduced<br />

<strong>software</strong> developers in their IT departments thus<br />

replenishing the market with qualified professionals.<br />
