Russian telecom companies reduce staffing
Revival in demand for Engineering in early 2013 was not followed. Experts said the personnel center "Unity", the reason for reducing the demand for qualified technical staff, which has become one of the most notable trends in the Russian Telecom personnel market in 2012, is in the industry's transition to a new stage of development. Anistsyna As remarked Vera, head of recruiting personnel center "Unity" (the direction of IT / Telecom), the cause of the market collapse was the policy of the mobile operators. Only one of the big three players almost overnight has cut six thousand units of the engineering staff in the past year.
This freed up the ranks of specialists can significantly extended with: in particular, if VTB acquired Tele2 still come under the control of one of the operators, the process of absorption, in practice, will be accompanied by contractions. should be noted that, unlike the situation with the financial situation Tele2 the majority of layoffs has an economic feasibility study. Do not wait for employers of a new wave of crisis - just moved to a new stage of development. Indeed, the last few years mobile operators were in a constant race: regular conquered territory, increased the number of towers proliferated network.
The growth was supported by stable consumer demand and demanded, respectively, more and more working hands, and certainly drain. "Drain" of skilled, experienced and creative. Capable of constantly innovate and optimize invented earlier. It seemed that stage of rapid development of the industry, contrary to the laws of economics, will never end. Even the global financial instability in 2009 has left on the body of the telecommunications market crisis scars. But imperceptibly phase lifting naturally went to "no": the mast and tower finally established, the network reached the most remote corners of the country, equipment set up and tested them.
"Seasons of large construction projects come to an end, the last major revolution I would say the transition to 3G, - agrees Anatoly HavlĂk, engineer of the operation of cellular networks JSC "BaicalWestCom", a subsidiary of OJSC "Rostelecom". - Those projects deploying 4G (LTE) on the scale of the work has already become global, the more that it will develop only in large cities (periphery will remain on 3G).
The fact that at one time, operators moved en masse to the optical communication line, securing a large supply of the future. Therefore, even when invent 5G and 6G, will be subject to change only the base station equipment rather than transport network (network traffic from the base station to the central node). "
