Abstract

Labor market is a complex system of interacting entities pursuing their goals within a framework that exists within strict normative boundaries. At the same time, it is actively changing under the influence of innovations, trends, and external shocks. These processes are especially heterogeneous in separate professional segments that have different degrees of liability. One of the important and, as the study showed, large segments is the professional sphere of personnel management. The purpose of the article is to analyze the current state of the labor market in this professional segment, describe the characteristics of its subjects and their interests, and highlight the prospects for development and emergence of new professions. The study is based on a set of methods that were used during the implementation of monitoring of the Russian labor market in the personnel management segment for 2019–2021: analysis of Headhunter data, expert interviews, analyses of documents, expert interviews with managers and personnel management specialists. The study showed that the studied segment of the labor market is represented by able-bodied employed population of about 1 million people. The qualitative and quantitative structure of this segment has changed over several years under the impact of external factors, as well as development of the personnel management function at domestic enterprises. The labor market in this segment is partially balanced, there are several discrepancies in supply and demand, but it is still an employer’s market. The COVID-19 pandemic did not have a significant impact on this segment of the labor market; this can be explained by the inertia of employers and a rollback of indicators to the pre-COVID stage due to the return to normal operating modes.
