Background

Russia is not a country for the faint hearted or for those expecting instant success. Nowhere else I have met such extraordinary, talented and ambitious people and at the same time so many people leaving the scene. The ability to adapt and persistency are essential personal characteristics for a successful performance in Russia.

Alexandrite has built expertise to evaluate if candidates have the right 'consistency' in order to operate succesfully on the Russian market.

One of the challenges is to match Russian candidates with requirements, personal characteristics and competences, typical for Western employees in a similar position. Although competences of Russian candidates have matured during the past 10 years, it is still important to take into consideration cultural differences while evaluating candidates.

Alexandrite offers its knowledge and experience to define an adequate job profile for any position based in Russia and to evaluate candidates, taking into consideration cultural differences.

Recruitment in Russia is challenging but above all a rewarding and joyful activity. Russians strongly value long term personal relations and love to celebrate successes with..speeches and champanski!

Alexandrite has built its network in Russia on the basis of good, long term personal relations with both candidates and clients. In the end this is the key to succesful recruitment in Russia.
