Recruitment tools
Foreign companies operating in Russia today use the following recruitment tools:
internal recruitment, recruiting agencies and head-hunters, internet job engines,
newspapers ads, contacts or networking, and college graduate recruitment. The
choice of a particular recruiting tool is based on the type of vacancy, the internal
recruitment policies and procedures and the location of a particular company (cf.
Denisova-Schmidt 2008b, Frank 2007, 2009b).
Fey et al. (1999:73) argue that many foreign companies operating in Russia
try to keep careful track of the Russians who are studying abroad, as they are

their acceptance into Russian society (cf. Miasoedov 2003:79-81). It certainly
varies from industry to industry and among different management levels
