Russia Launches Digital Recruitment Program to Attract Foreign Workers

Russia has launched a new digital recruitment program called "Time to Live in Russia" designed to attract foreigners with sought-after skills to work in the country. The program includes personal managers to help facilitate the recruitment process and aims to address labor shortages caused by emigration and the ongoing war in Ukraine. The initiative represents Russia's attempt to fill gaps in its workforce as many Russians have fled the country since the invasion of Ukraine began, creating significant labor market pressures across various sectors.
