While news outlets continue to report labour shortages and statistical agencies calculate the scale of the workforce deficit, the real economy has already found a practical solution. The issue is especially acute in sectors where blue-collar staff form the backbone of operations, including construction, logistics and roadworks.
Experts at AMALCO-Personnel, which specialises in international workforce recruitment, are seeing explosive growth in demand.
The trend is clear: demand for blue-collar personnel from visa-required countries has increased by 70% over the past year. Companies have stopped waiting and begun recruiting where labour is available.
The problem: when the domestic workforce is not enough
The shortage is particularly severe in road construction and related industries, where employers need not just additional workers but qualified professionals with experience. Domestic recruitment difficulties force businesses to seek alternatives in order to avoid idle equipment and missed contractual deadlines.
The Accounts Chamber reported a shortage of 12,000 professionals in the road sector, according to Vedomosti.
The solution: expanding recruitment geography
A practical response is to recruit motivated personnel from countries such as India, the Philippines, Bangladesh and Vietnam. Why are these destinations attracting employers?
1. Experience on international construction projects. Many specialists have proven experience on major projects in Dubai, the United States and China and are already familiar with demanding quality and productivity standards.
2. Strong work discipline. International employees are prepared for intensive schedules and often adapt quickly to new environments and site requirements.
How AMALCO-Personnel fills vacancies without downtime
Recruiting people from abroad is not a simple task. It requires legal compliance, deep knowledge of migration legislation and the ability to identify genuinely valuable specialists. This is where professional recruitment expertise becomes essential.
