Recruitment and hiring in Russia
Russia may recruit personnel through newspaper ads or employment agencies and, once the employment process concluded, the company must maintain a work record book for each employee. These books will reflect the Russian employee’s whole employment history and, upon request, the company must provide copies of the documents to the employee.
In order to enter into an employment agreement with a Russian company, the future employee is also required to provide certain documents among which:
- – the employee’s passport and Russian work visa,
- – educational documents,
- – a retirement insurance certificate.
Other documents might be requested by the Russian employer. Also, if an individual is at his or her first job, the employer will issue the work record and the retirement insurance certificate. All documents must be drafted in Russian.

All work relations are based on an employment contract in Russia. Russian companies must also know that employment contracts must contain certain information, but can also be amended at later stages. Also, all Russian employment agreementsmust be written. The contract will be drafted in two copies – one for the employer and another for the employee.

- – the probation period which is three months for regular positions and six months for executive positions,
- – holiday leave of 28 days,
