Abstract
The purpose of this study is to analyze the mechanisms of organized recruitment as a potentially main way to target and return foreign labor to the Russian labor market. Throughout the entire period of the formation and implementation of the migration policy of modern Russia, with the exception of the first few years, external labor migration was one of the determining components of the migration structure. This is due to the complex of both domestic Russian crisis factors caused by a sharp decline in the birth rate in the 1990s, a general drop in the quality of life, which entailed not only an increase in mortality, but also a decrease in average life expectancy, global trends in the aging population of the states of the “global north” and the demographic boom of the states of the “global south”. In modern Russia, external labor migration is the main purpose of entry and the basis for the legal stay of foreign citizens. At the same time, the quantitative indicators of external labor migration at the level of TOP-5 recipient states in the world for the most part do not correlate with its qualitative indicators due to the low qualifications of foreign workers. what determines the existing imbalance in the real demand of the Russian labor market, expressed in the shortage of qualified and highly qualified workers in various fields of production and industry, other technological industries and the labor market of foreign labor, represented primarily by the sphere of trade and various services, as well as activities that do not require a high level of professional qualifications and skills. One of the ways to solve this problem is the implementation of a new model of external labor migration, organized on the principles of organized, targeted attraction of workers to a specific employer with their subsequent return to the state of origin after the expiration of the employment agreement and preliminary pre-immigration training.
