According to Sistema SmartTech forecasts, the volume of the Russian technology market for hiring employees over five years will amount to more than 100 billion rubles. Ksenia Shoigu, managing partner of the Sistema SmartTech fund, says that in the world and the Russian Federation, in particular, there is an acute shortage of line personnel, which is especially pronounced in the segments of the hotel and restaurant business and work with consumer goods.

Given the increased competition for personnel, employers need to apply new and technological methods to select, as well as retain staff. In this regard, we believe that the presence of digital services will increase business efficiency and create new, more comfortable conditions for employees, she added.[1]
