Our basic approach to recruitment is to comply with legal requirements and employ the best professionals. In accordance with the law we primarily hire employees from local people. Programs are implemented to train specialists locally. Employees from other regions are hired only if there are no candidates with the required qualifications on the local labor market.
The Company does not tolerate discrimination based on gender, race, age, or other grounds. The hiring process applies an equal opportunity approach to local applicants abroad, to men and women, to applicants with limited health abilities, to members of the indigenous minorities of the North, and to other social groups.
The Company has formed a pool of mobile personnel. Managers and experts with experience and knowledge, required for successful delivery of projects, count among mobile employees and can be seconded to LUKOIL Group companies or projects to achieve corporate targets. Mobile personnel is a tool to diminish risks of poor efficiency, immediately respond to a demand for qualified experts or managers irrespective of the situation on a local market, and at the same time, an opportunity to work in different cultural and business environments that motivates employees, who prefer diverse challenges and personal development.
To facilitate employment of disabled people the Company has adopted corporate regulations on job quotas for disabled employees. The job quota is established bu the Russian law.
Disabled employees work on special conditions that include privileges, guarantees, shorter hours with standard pay and longer paid leaves. The Company also provides special workstations, adapted or additional equipment.
