‘The number of search engine queries involving teleworking rose by 12% in 2019 compared with the year 2018.

Candidates expect to make RUB 26,000 a month on average, whereas employers generally offer around RUB 35,000 a month,’ the research states.

‘This CV/job listing dynamics in the work-from-home sector indicates people are growing more rational about their life choices. The employees are unwilling to spend time and money on getting to work, while the employers see this as a way to cut rental costs and widen their HR options by taking on people from other parts of the country. The labor market segments that have the most teleworking job openings are sales, student/beginner jobs, and transportation. The labor market segments that get the most CVs are accounting, IT, and marketing,’ says Managing Director at Avito Rabota Artem Kumpel.
