The year-end peak, city by city
Demand triples in retail and logistics from 10 December. Plan accordingly.
A known, recurring peak
In Russia, demand for temporary staff in retail and logistics rises noticeably every year between mid-December and New Year — a broad, well-documented market pattern, not something specific to this platform: year-end inventory, delivery surges, extra checkout staff.
What it means for a worker
More missions posted means more choice, but also more competition for the best-placed slots (evenings, weekends). A profile already verified before the period has a real head start — identity verification takes time, better not to discover that on December 20th.
What it means for a company
Posting early (see the article on posting in bulk) meaningfully improves the odds of filling every slot before the best profiles are already taken elsewhere. The period rewards planning ahead, not last-minute reaction.
A trend, not a promise
This describes a general market trend, well known across the industry — not precise internal platform statistics, which we don't publish here so as never to state anything we can't verify with certainty.
