nijni-novgorod.gorodrabot.ru ("Work in Nizhny Novgorod") is the Nizhny Novgorod section of the all-Russian job search portal GorodRabot.ru, which gathers in one place the job listings of Nizhny Novgorod from HeadHunter, Avito, Rabota, Superjob, Rabota v Rossii, and other services [1]. The portal itself was launched in February 2014 in Yoshkar-Ola [2].
History
The domain gorodrabot.ru was registered in December 2013 [3]. According to the portal itself, GorodRabot.ru was launched in February 2014 in Yoshkar-Ola, the capital of the Republic of Mari El El, and over its first year its monthly audience grew from zero to 1.6 million people [2]. The portal is organized as a network of city sections on subdomains; the Nizhny Novgorod one lives at nijni-novgorod.gorodrabot.ru [1].
Since 2025, the site's owner has been listed as the joint-stock company "GR" [2], which was registered on May 27, 2025, in the Republic of Mari El [4]. The company names web portal operation as its main line of business [2]. In the footer of every page, the years of operation are given as 2014–2026 [1].
Site content
The main page of the Nizhny Novgorod section is a feed of the city's job listings with search by profession and sorting by relevance, date, and salary; in early October 2026 it contained 40,392 listings [1]. The portal gathers listings from more than 200 job services; according to the project's description, listings and résumés are checked manually by a specialist [2]. In total, the portal had 4,056,584 job listings and 251,729 résumés across the country in those same days [1]. Besides the feed, the section has pages for job seekers and employers: résumé creation, a résumé database, a salary calculator, a production calendar, a reference on the Labor Code, a description of job-hunting scams, and a listing verification tool [1].
A separate section of the site covers Nizhny Novgorod's labor market statistics, which the portal calculates from the offers in its own job listings rather than from actual earnings. According to these figures, the average salary in Nizhny Novgorod job listings for January–September 2026 was 82,101 rubles, the median was 65,444 rubles, and the most common figure in listings was 50,000 rubles. The most frequently sought positions in the city were managers, drivers, and sales managers, and the most in-demand fields were sales, transport and logistics, information technology, the internet, and telecom [5]. The portal separately provides data for September 2026: the median salary in listings was 70,000 rubles, and the average was 93,221 rubles. The statistics can be viewed by year, starting from 2017 [5].
Besides the Nizhny Novgorod section and other Russian ones, the portal has versions for Belarus, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and China [1].
