Despite Western governments' attempts to render immigration as difficult as possible, many educated Russians have found a way through into Fortress Europe — we look at their attempts and find out why in the end they'll most likely return to the Motherland. Foreign countries are often a source of great fascination. Most people just visit them on holiday maybe once or twice a year, but there are some who'll go as far as actually leaving their homeland for the challenge of living and working abroad.

No organization can afford to put talent management on the backburner. The loss of experience as the baby-boom generation retires, the overall shortage of talented leaders, the absolute need to engage and retain high-potential employees at every level of the organization, and an environment which demands that organizations continually do more with less, all combine to make talent management a Board-level priority.

The highest German civil court, BGH, recently reaffirmed its 2004 case law that contacting employees (potential candidates) at the workplace is not in breach of competition law regulations as long as the contact does not go beyond a first and brief contact (i.e. to present yourself as a search consultant, and agree on a suitable time to call outside of working hours). In this recent judgment, the BGH added that this is also the case when the search consultant calls an employee (potential candidate) on his or her company mobile phone (i.e. when the employee is not effectively at his workplace).

Despite increased competition from their local counterparts, demand for the foreign specialist in Russia is by no means set to disappear. On the contrary, analysts say that the amount of foreigners is on the rise in almost all fields of business — from retail, banking and IT, to consulting, manufacturing, and real estate. So why are some types of foreigner still more attractive than their native equivalents? Both Russian and foreign companies need workers experienced in the implementation of high-end technologies, with know-how and strong managerial skills, but there is a lack of such qualities locally.

In a bid to uncover why well-trained employees suddenly resign from a seemingly solid and attractive firm, we confront the principles of Maslow’s pyramid of needs. According to recruiters, when an employee’s needs, both in terms of money and career, are undervalued, loyalty counts for nothing, and they will quickly seek a new challenge. “If people want to grow professionally but understand that in a particular organization this is impossible, then that becomes the main reason for resigning. For top managers self-fulfillment is very important,” said Olga Chebotkova, partner at Top Hunt International.

Besides a good résumé, the modern executive should have the skill to understand how his market behaves and the capacity to adapt speedily to its transformations. Only thus will he have the possibility to survive in a scenario of globalized economy, in which the speed of decisions is directly proportional to the velocity of the information.
If we could write a “Manual of the Modern Executive,” its first chapter would be “How and when to seek a job.” This is where the ability to understand the market begins, to perceive its movements and anticipate them. Years of experience in the selection of executives shows that the simple task of preparing the résumé already gives indications of the professional’s profile. Through it, we know whether the candidate is objective, strategic, bureaucratic, etc.
