Abstract
One of the current issues of personnel management in large Russian companies is attracting and retaining young professionals. Understanding the expectations of young professionals is a key condition for its successful solution. The article considers young professionals as a special category of personnel in large companies, defines the features of large companies as employers, and highlights the levels of expectations of young professionals from the place of work. The results of an independently prepared and conducted focused interview with young professionals working in large Russian companies showed that a high level of material remuneration and opportunities for professional and career growth, training events and a hybrid work schedule are important for them. The main problem areas for young professionals are transparency of career growth, a low level of automation of business processes, and a high level of workload. Young professionals working in large Russian companies attach great importance to the use of digital technologies, especially artificial intelligence. The interview showed the importance for young professionals of a clearly structured corporate communication system that helps them understand the main tasks, revealed the relevance for them of participating in putting forward initiatives and making decisions, the availability of information and the necessary technologies for the implementation of their functionality. The results obtained can be used in developing or updating strategies for attracting and retaining young specialists in large Russian companies.
