Programs that help HR services There are many people in the world to find potential candidates for vacancies, but most of them, alas, do not support the Russian language. Since personnel is an urgent need, Russian companies They are vying with each other to create products that would give HR managers the opportunity to search for suitable candidates. Of the six personnel search applications included in our review, four were developed in Russia. Many of them are of considerable value not only for recruiters, but also for job seekers.
1. Staffim employee search application
Mobile, developed by the Russian startup Staffim, is interesting because it provides integration with domestic recruiting sites. You can post your vacancy on several HR portals, and new responses to it will automatically come to your smartphone. In the same way, you can integrate work email with the application, conducting all correspondence with job seekers from your Staffim account. The employee search application also has its own database of applicants. Along with the main product, the company offers a number of additional solutions that can be useful in certain areas of business. For example, for the retail sector, where there is often a need to quickly process many paper forms, there is a solution with QR codes that allows HR specialists to save almost several working days. Analytical functions, search for profiles of potential candidates on social networks by keywords, the ability to filter out identical profiles for the same applicant - these are not all the talents of this, unfortunately, little-known program.
3. Employee search application Pruffi Friends
Another domestic application for personnel search, which allows you to search for candidates on social networks (even in such networks as Odnoklassniki). Similar to Jobvite, Pruffi Friends sends out daily job vacancy information to all users, which they can send to their friends and further on the Web. The application uses gamification mechanisms - the one who recommended a friend who was ideal for the employer receives to his account remittance from Pruffi. The size of the remuneration depends on the complexity of selecting a candidate, but on average it is 1000 euros. The “price” of each closed vacancy is indicated on a label directly on its page - which, of course, spurs the greed and passion of those recommending it. The employee search application is optimal for finding specialists for complex vacancies. And this is beneficial precisely for small companies conducting a specific business - to find an artist who knows how to paint Palekh boxes, or a synchrophasotron assembly specialist is now much easier than before. Entrepreneurs can find out under what conditions they can use the application for personnel search only after registering in the system.

4. HeadHunter employee search application
Russian mobile application for personnel search, developed by the recruiting company of the same name. Its main advantage is that it is actually the only domestic program that allows you to search for vacancies in a really large database covering dozens of cities in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan. There are two main functions: the user can create an auto search using keywords and categories, as well as leave responses to the vacancies they like and then track whether recruiters have viewed them.
Flaws: iTunes users gave the program only two stars; The low rating is mainly caused by extremely modest functionality and some software errors. Irritation is caused, in particular, by the inability to create and edit a resume directly through the employee search application - for this you will have to visit the website hh.ru. Another drawback is that the application is focused on the applicant, and not on the recruiter. The latter can mainly study market conditions - for example, calculate what salary to offer a candidate based on the numbers quoted by competitors
- Price: for free
- Available for: iPhone
- Registration: required

Testing was carried out in ten areas, including functionality, correct operation, performance, usability, reliability, processing speed and data storage. In total, about one hundred indicators of the application’s performance quality were studied.
Advisor to the President of the Russian Federation German Klimenko:“Informing consumers about the quality of goods, including software products, sold in the territory Russian Federation- an important and responsible task. Users should know where and how their personal data is stored and be able to fully evaluate a mobile application before installing it. mobile devices. Independent studies of such products are intended to help in choosing the highest quality and safest software products. non-profit organizations, like Roskachestvo.”
Managing partner of Notamedia Sergey Oseledko:“The mobile segment of the Internet is experiencing explosive growth. More and more, our daily tasks are solved using mobile applications, the number of which has already exceeded millions. It is important for both developers, customers, and most importantly, users to understand what quality requirements are imposed on a product such as a mobile application and how to achieve it. The developed methodology will help, among other things, Notamedia to make significant progress in this direction.”
According to Vitaly Dubinin, General Director ID East LLC: “Mobile applications have access to personal data and personal information, so it is important for users that the applications meet quality standards.

For reference:
Note that the number of programs for smartphones in the two largest application stores - App Store and Google Play– in total exceeds the 5 million mark, and total number downloads amount to over 17 billion. However, until now in Russia, unlike other countries, there has been no transparent rating of mobile applications based on independent research. Wherein, mobile applications- This is the same commodity of everyday demand as food and clothing. Considering the colossal number of mobile software products offered on the market, it is sometimes very difficult for an ordinary user to make a choice in favor of one application or another. Descriptions and screenshots often do not reflect the real functionality of the application, only confusing the potential buyer, who pays for such obscurity with his own money and personal time.
The first independent study of applications for Russia allows us to evaluate the capabilities of existing developments on the market and improve the quality of application performance. This practice successfully exists in many countries around the world, for example, when Consumer Reports (a quality monitoring organization in the USA) released a study of laptops, criticizing some well-known devices, manufacturers found and eliminated imperfections.
