ABOUT HEADHUNTER

HeadHunter Company (hh.ru) has operated in the Russian Internet recruitment market since 2000. Currently the hh.ruportal is considered to be one of the best domestic online resources for job hunting and personnel hiring.

• To help HR managers and recruiters to find suitable candidates for fitting corresponding vacancies.
• To assist job seekers in finding worthy jobs.

HeadHunter business model is based on selling information derived from its resume data base. The company has always followed two main strategic principles: constantly investing into new technologies and perfecting the quality of its services.

The daily number of visitors of the hh.ru portal averages around 120 thousand. Employers and recruiters appreciate high quality resumes that are available on the site as well as professionalism of applicants who turn to the resource for job search services. Among HeadHunter's clients are not only numerous hiring agencies but also over 50 thousand direct employers, among them many top Russian and multinational corporations.

Top and medium-level managers constitute the bulk of those who visit the portal for finding new jobs. The quality of resumes displayed on the site is ensured by the thorough processing of each of them. We do not accommodate resumes that contain inadequate information about applicants.

Similarly we treat information about vacancies provided by employers - each of them is also processed individually. We also see to it that the HeadHunter site is not used for displaying vacancies for ordinary workers (shop assistants, loaders, yard-keepers and similar personnel) as well as vacancies of companies that are engaged in network marketing, in forbidden or doubtful types of businesses.

HeadHunter also provides both employers and job applicants with convenient site tools for performing necessary operations. For instance, a recruiter needs to make only one click to send a letter inviting an applicant for an interview or a letter providing reasons for a refusal. The unique flexible system of confidentiality adjustment of resumes is a competitive advantage of the hh.ru site. Above average professionals are usually accustomed to advanced services, so when they begin looking for new jobs they usually prefer to deal with the hh.ru site as they appreciate its most modern functional solutions. The site popularity among this category of job-seekers makes it easier for employers to find suitable personnel quickly and in a quality manner.

HeadHunter has its representations in many regions of Russia. Regional offices now operate in such cities as Saint Petersburg, Yaroslavl, Samara, Rostov-on-Don, Yekaterinburg, Krasnodar, Novosibirsk, Krasnoyarsk, Kazan and Voronezh. In 2005 the Company began its operations also in the recruiting markets of Ukraine and Kazakhstan. Both portals, HeadHunter.COM.UA and HeadHunter.COM.KZ, have been developed utilising the experience accumulated by the mother company in the previous years.

In 2006 the HeadHunter's sales volume has reached US $6 million, a significant turnover for an online recruitment company. Currently the portal contains over 1 million resumes and 60 thousand vacancies. Each day the resource receives and processes 2,200 resumes and about 2,000 vacancies.

Among HeadHunter's cliens are 45 thousand business and other organisations.
