Prospects of outstaffing in Russia
Outsourcing of personnel marketing with stockholder database allows the company to save money and increase productivity, so the prospects for this model of cooperation are quite impressive. Today, such services have not yet become commonplace for domestic companies, but the situation is gradually changing. After all, Russian laws and economic conditions have only recently opened up the opportunity for the development of this hiring system.
In the near future, small and medium-sized companies will be eager to use outstaffing services. Thus, today the outstaffing company Rubrain already has over six thousand outstaffing workers who are listed on its staff, but actually work in other organizations and projects. Rubrain's clients include such giants as Yandex, MTS, Mail.Ru, Yota, Mastercard and several dozen foreign startups, and its story does not end there.

Even Skype, having successfully used the staff outstaffing service in Estonia at one time, managed to go from the formulation of an idea to the sale of a business worth a total of 2.5 billion dollars in a couple of years.
