HeadHunter: Success Is Inevitable. How a Startup Became the Leader in Online Recruiting and Changed the Labor Market

In 2008, Yuri Virovets presented Mikhail Zhukov as the new General Director of HeadHunter. Over the last 15 years, Zhukov has proven that he can be a brilliant leader—turning the service into a leading internet recruiting company in Russia. In the book “HeadHunter. Success is inevitable,” he shares his experience and explains how he achieved that success. Before working at HeadHunter, Zhukov worked in IT for a long time, and then decided to change his field of activity and accepted an offer to lead the platform, despite having no recruitment experience. In his book, he describes the principles on which his company development strategy was built, the bold decisions made in difficult situations, and how he dealt with the ambiguous reaction of his team. The reader of this book will learn not only the secrets of success from one of Russia’s most successful managers, but also why HeadHunter is more than just a job.
