2021: Launch of the YouDo Business platform

On July 22, 2021, the online YouDo.com service and the Russian online recruitment platform hh.ru announced a strategic partnership and the launch of a platform for working legal entities with self-employed - YouDo Business.

YouDo The business is based on the c2c service s2s-Marketplace. YouDo.com This b2b product helps companies use a profitable tax regime for the self-employed, select freelance performers, optimize operating costs for electronic document management, make legal settlements, form the necessary closing documents, pay taxes for the self-employed in the Federal Tax Service and minimize risks when working with them. Registered users of YouDo and hh.ru with the official status of self-employed (professional income tax payers) will be able to provide services to legal entities. For the self-employed, responses to vacancies are free.

The monetization of the platform consists of two business models: payment for attracting performers and fees for payments. If the client attracts performers independently, then no payments are required except for the commission. The company plans to develop and offer additional products to customers, including financial and insurance products, so that the self-employed have additional social guarantees that are not inferior to classic employment.

{{quote 'author = Gleb Lebedev said, director of web services hh.ru.|Self-employed already make up a fairly large share of the total labor RUSSIAN FEDERATION resources in, their number increases every year. According to Frank RG the forecast, the number of officially registered self-employed Russia by 2024 will increase by 6 million people. The audience of self-employed on the hh.ru is growing rapidly - in the first half of 2021, the number of applicants with self-employed status increased more than three times compared to the same period in 2020.

At the end of 2020, we offered some of our customers to test our joint solution with the self-employed YouDo, which could close all business needs in one window - from selecting performers to settlements with them. Based on the results of testing, we decided to scale the project as part of a closer strategic partnership so that even more customers of our companies and performers from all over the country can access opportunities that meet the current transformation of the employment market and the growth of the spread of work in the format of self-employment. According to hh.ru surveys, 48% of applicants do not exclude the possibility of switching to freelance in 2021 or later. Above all, the share of those planning to go freelance is among entrepreneurs (34%) and representatives of the art and mass media (30%). We also asked such respondents whether they would be registered as self-employed if they switched to freelance: 41% answered this question in the affirmative, }}

The platform YouDo Business during the testing has already been used by several dozen companies. Customers include retail, logistics services, advertising and BTL agencies, outsourcing companies and others.

When working with self-employed for business, the risks associated with the possible reclassification of relations to other forms of employment are relevant. Since the tax regime is still very young, many companies only look at it and expect the accumulation of judicial practice. Incorrect formalization of relations with freelance personnel, errors in the process of mass payments or document management can attract the attention of regulatory authorities, which can lead to additional taxes and fines, blocking of the company's accounts under 115 Federal Law, etc. In 2020, YouDo, together with the Federal Tax Service of Russia, Rostrud and ONF, developed a memo for business, where, together with regulators, he collected the main recommendations to the market when working with self-employed. Companies need more flexible solutions to operate efficiently and compete in the market, and the joint platform of YouDo and hh.ru closes all the main obstacles to the development of relations between business and self-employed.

According to our forecasts, in the next three years the number of self-employed may amount to 10-15% of the total able-bodied population of the country. Mostly these are citizens who are previously involved in shadow employment or provide services informally. At the same time, the dynamics of the growth in the number of self-employed will depend on how actively the business is ready to work with them. We were in a working group under the Federal Tax Service during the drafting of the law on self-employed and actively participate in working groups under various departments and business associations on the development of the NAP regime. Over 10 years of work in the c2c market, they also accumulated expertise in working with individuals, which was taken into account when developing a new b2b service. We see a steady business request not only to search for self-employed, but also to automate processes when working with them. Progress in the cooperation of business and the self-employed can become a driver that will ensure the accelerated development of self-employment in the country and the course towards the legalization of the economy, "comments Denis Kutergin, co-founder of the YouDo. .
