OREANDA-NEWS  In 2022, the number of Yandex employees who work from international hubs increased almost three times compared to 2021 and exceeded 1.7 thousand people. This is about 8% of all employees of the company. The data of the parent company Yandex N.V. is provided by RBC.

The total increase in the number of employees for the year was 16% (in total, 20.9 thousand people work in the company). At the same time, this figure does not include Yandex employees who work part-time.

The former CEO of Yandex, Elena Bunina, told The New York Times in the middle of the year that 2.5 thousand employees of the company worked from other countries.

However, it should be borne in mind that Yandex is also developing business in the CIS countries (search service), in Africa, Europe, the UAE — taxi Yango, in Turkey — search and navigation. As Alexey Zakharov, the head of the Superjob service, told RBC, it is easier for Yandex to hire employees from Russia to work in other countries, since the company has high requirements for developers.

According to the Russian government, the demand for IT personnel has increased by 63% compared to 2022. In addition, according to analysts, the search period for candidates for vacancies in the IT sector has grown more than the market average.
