Due to the fact that the Crimea became part of Russian Federation is considerably changes in the vision of executives and organizations on matters related to the future development of function for personnel management, taking into account territorial specificities.
In this context, changing ideas of potential employers about the structure of the requirements of profstandart specialists in personnel management. The external business environment also exerts a strong influence. Formation of new promising trends in areas such as: information and communication technology, urbanization, demographic processes.
Based on the results of research PricewaterhouseCoopers Corporation, it is permissible to assert that in Russia the main driving forces influencing the processes of personnel management, is justified to think that “demographic problems (22%), digital technology (19%), social responsibility (18%), social networks (16%), the differences between generations (16%), global mobility (9%)” [1]. The degree of impact of these drivers on specific aspects of the HR function is significantly different: the impact on HR processes (36%), impact on knowledge and skills in the field of personnel management (23%), impact on the organization of work of personnel services (22%), impact on role of HR management in the organization (19%). In our opinion, numerical indicators should not be considered indisputable; however, they undoubtedly reflect the General character of the emerging trends. It should also take into account differences in the specific assessment of Russian and international companies (Table 1).

Among the three major problems faced by HR professionals in the Crimea (leadership development, improving employee engagement and ensuring high productivity), marked by the majority of respondents (58%, 50% and 47%, respectively). The first has the greatest effect in “pharmaceuticals and healthcare, second, in the sector of high technology of communications, and the third, in the sphere of production of consumer goods” [2].

Compare demanded competences and requirements of the professional standard can be concluded about their fundamental mismatch with each other. Consequently, graduates of national universities are increasingly in demand in the labor market due to their failure to realize the potential employers’ expectations. When you save a fragmentation of this approach and further education, HR-specialists Services of domestic enterprises transform from professional helpers in the capitalization of the human potential employees of the enterprises in the “mechanical” performers requirements of the legal framework. With regard to the Crimea, the situation is further aggravated by: acts targeted sanctions regime, the legal framework is not enough defined, changing business conditions, financial, migration and demographic processes.
The return of the Crimea to the Russian Federation provides a unique opportunity to reformat the work of HR-specialists with a focus on the expected changes. The real “obstacle” for such changes should be considered as a transition period itself, accompanied by so many ongoing risk that service personnel management tend to self-preservation, not self-development. Specialists of the “new generation” or make demands incompatible with the working mentality of employers or find another niche use their abilities.
