There, from 2000 to 2010, the number of freelancers grew by 82%, writes UBR. In many cases, Ukrainians, who already have a job, are ready to consider freelancing as an opportunity for additional earnings. Such, according to the expert-analytical center of the International Personnel Portal HeadHunter Ukraine, 52%. The most popular remote work among IT professionals. For example, on the Work website. Ua in the corresponding section 1 124 of such vacancies. In general, the site now has almost 4,500. Jobs for those who would like to work remotely. This is more than 5% of the total number of active vacancies on the site. The bulk of companies attracting remote employees are located in Kiev, Dnipro, Lviv and other large cities. Enterprises are ready to take not only IT people to remote, although their share in the total number of vacancies still prevails. The leaders in demand for remote work also included sales managers, marketing specialists, journalists, PR specialists, advertisers, teachers, call center operators, dispatchers, copywriters, realtors. The opportunity to work from home is also for designers, accountants, personnel officers and computer game takers. "In the segment of remote work, programmers / developers prevail - 70% of proposals, 30% - various vacancies in finance, project management, online marketing and t. ", - said the regional manager of Crossover (specializing in hiring tops for permanent distance work) Sinan Ata. Although most Ukrainian companies prefer traditional forms of cooperation, every 20th vacancy for working outside the office is not so little, says the Director for Development Work. Ua Sergey Marchenko. And work for freelancers will become more and more. "We observe a steady increase in the number of vacancies on demand" remote work "and the expansion of the number of professions and professional spheres that are suitable for remote work. Nevertheless, in the labor market there are still many professions that are unlikely to be removed - hairdressers, bankers, cooks, etc.. ", - noticed to us hr-expert site rabota. Ua Tatiana Pashkina. Remote work is beneficial for employers - in addition, it allows you to rent a smaller office, save on electricity, office equipment and office, this way of organizing work allows you to bypass some of the nuances of employment and avoid taxation if the employee is not officially formalized. "Even with the registration of all necessary papers, some employers pay employees" on outsourcing "less, because there is no certainty that they work for only one employer, which definitely reduces the control factor. Also, expanding the geography of employment can help reduce costs, "- said the CEO of" Befind & North-Ukraine "Konstantin Rudnitsky. In addition to saving on operating costs, the remote card also allows you to hire people from other regions who agree to a lower salary. As Freelancehunt's founder Oleg Topchy told us, freelancers help get rid of more than half of the costs associated with equipping jobs, leasing additional space and t. Therefore it is not surprising that now about a third of Ukrainian companies offer their employees a remote job. And these are usually small firms - up to 20 people. At the same time, both employers and applicants fairly sensibly assess the pros and cons of working in a remote format. Executives understand that when an employee works outside the office, this complicates the task setting process, and it is also more difficult to control it. But employees among the main drawbacks of remote work are the lack of communication, feedback and self-discipline. "Among the constraints in the transition to the freelance for job seekers - a fickle earnings and lack of labor compensation. Also, the "white-collar workers" stops the lack of opportunities to build a good career and adopt the experience of colleagues within the framework of live communication, "said expert of the analytical center of the International Personnel Portal HeadHunter Ukraine Ekaterina Krivoruchenko. Who are trying to drive into offices But many international companies already refuse to remove. There are several factors that can influence this decision. First, the enhancement of corporate culture. For employees who work from home, almost closed the way on the career ladder. "Sometimes remote workers after some time working from home are invited to work in the office, it's kind of like a promotion. Or they are involved in projects together with office specialists and also "pulled into the office". Sometimes staff growth is possible - for example, from a remote operator to a supervisor of operators. If such a transition involves work in the state, they can offer a decent salary, "- noted Tatiana Pashkina. Secondly, an important factor for some employers is team cohesion. Perception of the employee as a subject whose activities affect the overall performance stimulates him to work better. Thirdly, control. Although it is believed that the efficiency of the employee can not be increased through monitoring, but in the case of a large number of remote workers, the complexity of control can adversely affect the overall results. "Will employees return to the office - it's hard to say.

Much depends on the experience of the remote worker. If he has worked in this mode for many years, most likely not - it is possible that many will be ready to quit and look for a customary format for themselves in another company. If the employee has worked at home for a short time and received an invitation to the office, he will most likely agree to such a proposal, especially if it is important for him to work in this company, "- said Topchy.
