Roscongress Foundation and Country Potential: Vocational Counselling and Employment of Young Specialists Discussed at #WeAreTogether Forum

8 December 2022
Фонд Росконгресс и «Потенциал страны»: на форуме #МЫВМЕСТЕ обсудили вопросы профориентации и эффективного трудоустройства молодых специалистов

The Country Potential is a modern smart HR platform that makes it easy to find employees and get a dream job.

Right during the presentation at the International Forum of Civic Participation #WeAreTogether in Moscow, which was led by project leader Marina Buntova and product director Peter Bogolepov, participants underwent career guidance testing using QR-code from the phone and an express quiz of 10 questions on knowledge of modern rare occupations.

HR start-ups are revolutionizing our understanding of the job search: the focus of the employer’s interest and study is the personality and potential of a young student, graduate, or aspiring specialist, rather than their experience or grades. The results of comprehensive testing of candidates enable companies to accurately determine a person’s profile, motivation, values, and other characteristics. When it comes to a job seeker with no work experience, it helps interest an employer in their personal competences and find a suitable vacancy.

The platform has assembled 6 groups of tests based on internationally recognized methodologies, assessing a candidate’s full profile. After passing the test, the recommendation system automatically sends the job seeker’s digital CV to companies that are suitable for them.

The Country Potential platform is a new way of looking at employment. It helps students to determine their career path while still in school and to start developing relevant skills in advance, while students can adjust their career path and receive useful recommendations and invitations to companies. Young professionals can learn about the current requirements and skills needed for their profession and find jobs where they can maximise their potential. Universities can expand opportunities for students to combine study and work through access to internships and work placements, increase the employment rate of students after graduation and, as a consequence, their rating and brand through the ‘success stories’ of the best students. Finally, companies can find their ideal employees who will stay with them for many years and grow with the company.

Today, 163 employers and 4,309 jobseekers have already registered on the platform.

The Roscongress Foundation presented its social, youth, educational and technological initiatives at the International Forum of Civic Participation #WeAreTogether. The Building Trust stand was dedicated both to the Foundation’s own projects created to solve socially oriented tasks (the School Friend social project, the RC Skills inclusivity project, the KLUCH.PRO educational platform, and MARMA augmented reality project) and other projects supported by the Roscongress Foundation (the Country Potential testing platform, the In This Together nationwide hotline, and the Right Direction charity medical care search service).
