IT Jobs, Danger and Responsibility: The Story of Pavel Durov
Most IT recruiters and IT staffing firms wouldn’t describe IT jobs as dangerous. This is, of course, the case, 99% of the time. Recently, though, IT staffing agencies and technical recruiters have been shown an exception: the wild story of a very dangerous IT job—being creator of Russia’s version of Facebook.
Pavel Durov, a celebrity in Russia on par with Mark Zuckerberg in the US, has recently become endangered due to issues between the government and his company. While Russia’s own issues with corruption and censorship weigh heavily on this story, there’s another message for IT recruiting companies and IT recruiting agencies: IT is a powerful industry with a great deal of responsibility and power. As it begins to truly shape our world and deeply affect our politics, Information Technology endows its jobs with a great deal of ethical responsibility. IT professionals, and by extension, IT staffing companies, are not just coding—they’re deeply influencing the future.
