The concept of outsourcing and outstaffing known in the international business lexicon for a long time. However, in Russia Agency work in recent years — a very popular scheme manpower. Our recruitment Agency will reveal some interesting details and news in this field.Contingent labor is widespread in Russia, despite the fact that the phenomenon is a relatively recent Western and is present in the domestic labour market.
According to Magram MR, the market for recruitment of temporary staff over the past year grew by 11% to 29.3 billion rubles, as compared with 2011 – has doubled. Increased and the number of agencies that provide temporary staff, from 195 in 2013 to 218 in 2014.
About «Zapadnoe» contingent labor evidenced by its varieties, which are borrowings from English. Outstaffing (outsourcing) and the Outsourcing (outsourcing) have the prefix «out» with «out», «staff» with «staff» and «source» with «resource». I.e., as a result of the company literally and figuratively resort to «alien» or contingent employment.
the Difference between these concepts, however, are essential. Outstaffing implies that to perform the work within the client’s organization involved the employees of the third party, decorated in the latest state. It is used extensively for seasonal and project work to strengthen sales in the period of active promotion. While outsourcing staff assumes that the client passes a function or several functions to third-party companies, not involving specific work within the organization employees. Outsourcing is an increasingly common method of personnel management. We can observe its application in the provision of services to the company of cleaning, cooking and delivery of meals to offices, services, call centers, private security companies, as well as construction, accounting and legal services. Using outstaffing and outsourcing, the company gains a number of significant advantages: it saves the company’s budget while improving the performance indicators, personnel unloads the service, eases the tax base, and significantly reduces the risks associated with labor disputes.
Why are these tools still are not approved by the authorities and trade unions. The answer is simple: unscrupulous companies trying to cheat their employees, dodging taxes and not paying wages, but such companies, fortunately, still a minority. The majority of companies in the Russian market are fair game and faithfully perform its obligations to the employees. But, despite this, significant changes in this aspect happened.
As noted by Svetlana Belova, member NP «labor market Experts», starting in 2014, many recruitment agencies offer their clients to avoid the use of outstaffing services and to sign new outsourcing contracts. And this is despite the fact that outsourcing services more complex not only in design but also that is much important quality control over their execution.
this situation has been Caused by the fact that the year 2015, if the law will not change anything in the last four months of the year, will be the last, when legally permitted, contingent labor. Starting from 1 January 2016, outstaffing scheme will be banned.
