HeadHunter. Success is Inevitable. How a Startup Became a Leader in Online Recruitment and Changed the Labor Market

"This is Misha. He will be replacing me. He is normal. Don't worry."

Thus, in 2008, the founder of HeadHunter, Yuri Virovets, introduced the new CEO Mikhail Zhukov to the team. Over the next 15 years, Zhukov proved through his actions that he was not just an ordinary manager, but a brilliant leader. Under his leadership, the service became the leading Russian internet recruitment company. In the book "HeadHunter: Success is Inevitable", the author shares his experience and tells how he and his team managed to achieve this.

Before HeadHunter, Mikhail Zhukov worked in IT for a long time, but soon realized that he was not ready to tie his professional fate to "hardware". He was interested in human capital, so without thinking much, he accepted the offer to take the reins of the platform into his own hands, even though he did not have much experience in recruitment. In the book, Zhukov discusses the principles he relied on while building the company's development strategy, how he made bold decisions in critical situations, and how he dealt with the ambiguous reactions of the team. The reader of this book will not only learn secrets and life hacks from the personal experience of one of the most successful Russian managers, but will also understand why HeadHunter is about love.

For businessmen, startup founders, leaders. For those who are interested in developing leadership qualities, skills of influence, and managing people.
