Every sixth IT company in Russia is not ready to hire graduates of online courses

Researchers from the SkillFactory school and the job search service Zarplata.ru asked the leaders of Russian

companies and department heads about readinesshire online course graduates. The study showed that 15% of respondents do not consider such specialists as candidates, every fifth company is ready to take them on as trainees, and only 8% of respondents declared a high readiness to hire course graduates for entry-level positions (“juniors”).

Representatives of more than half of the companies (57%surveyed executives) will consider graduates of online courses if they prove themselves at the interview and successfully complete the test task. Those who are categorically against such candidates motivate their refusal by the students' lack of practical experience (43%), high salary expectations (26%) and ideas about future work (25%), unwillingness to work full time (21%) and poor knowledge students (18%).

Among the leaders who took the surveymore than half have already hired graduates of online courses. Many of them note that the knowledge of candidates depends largely on the quality of the chosen courses. At the same time, an approximately equal number of respondents (20 and 19%, respectively), on the one hand, noted the high results of course graduates, and on the other hand, that their knowledge is mainly theoretical.

Company representatives say that most often theybeginners who come for an interview lack experience in working with real cases and projects (45%). At the same time, approximately every fourth respondent spoke about the lack of independence, internship experience and the ability to perceive criticism among the “juniors”.

Despite the ambiguous attitude towards graduatesonline courses, the vast majority (95%) of the managers surveyed believe that the practice of working with them should be developed. Half of the respondents are sure that it is useful for both business and students.
