Deaк Caroline, Should not work like that - there are jobs under quota and over quota. Companies apply for next year job quotas before May, quotas are approved by local employment authorities provided there is no competition from Russian candidates (for this, diplomas or/and professional certificates are required to demonstrate better skills for expats), then the job quotas are coverted into work permits.
Over quota jobs include those for employees of registered offices of western companies, senior management of joint ventures or Russian companies (positions listed in the new law) and - for the first time - AFAIR service and maintenance engineers. So there is nothing new to 2007 law, the list of over quota positions is better defined. There are also rumours that the over quota list will be expanded for financial positions as well...
