The ways in which companies promote their products and services on the market can be very diverse. Someone relies on advertising and marketing, while someone sees prospects in tenders and mass purchases conducted by state enterprises. It is possible to sell products in different ways, the main thing is a single goal, which is expressed in the results that have been achieved.
In this article we will talk about how the Goszakaz group of companies works. Feedback from employees and customers is what helps us to know more precisely how high-quality services it provides, and whether you can trust them as business partners.
Assistance in the promotion of goods
To begin with, we describe all the activities of the company: what exactly it offers, and by what methods it is achieved. The government procurement model of activity is a typical business-to-business interaction scheme, that is, the company provides services to other companies. We are talking about services aimed at finding distribution channels and customers for bulk purchases of goods. In particular, it is the promotion of products through electronic bidding, the search for suitable tenders and further support for winning them.
Group of companies "Goszakaz"
To carry out their tasks in the State Order group (customer reviews also indicate this), several companies operate at once, performing different functions. For example, a resource for tracking current tenders from the field of public procurement; service for conducting online trading; resource for creating sites for customers; service providing freight transportation services and others. These are the websites with the help of which 7 companies that are part of a structure called “Government Order” operate.
Thus, the company is able to provide customers with a wide range of services from various fields, ultimately aimed specifically at the corporate promotion of goods and services.
According to statistics posted on the group’s main website, the company has been represented on the market for 11 years. During this time, she managed to build relationships with 950 thousand (!) Companies around the world. About 1,500 people work in the group to work with them, most of which are sales managers in a particular area. There are offices in 20 cities in Russia; In addition, the company operates in Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Moldova.
Common tasks
In the course of work, a set of tasks is immediately posed, the implementation of which is undertaken by specialists whose services are presented on the website "Goszakaz.ru". Customer reviews indicate that this is a search for tenders, representing the customer company on the site, winning the tender, as well as consulting and assistance in the further implementation of the work stipulated by the contract. In the process, the company can solve other problems.
The client company pays for the services provided according to the prepayment model (in the form of a pledge). In the future, as prescribed in the contract, the customer must also pay the contractor - the State Order group - for the successful result achieved.
If you believe such data, then everything looks quite attractive: get the support of such an experienced market player, win a number of tenders with them and successfully complete them - what could be more profitable for business? However, not all so simple. To understand this, it is enough to look for reviews about the Goszakaz company. They will display the actual results of the group.
Customer reviews
All the recommendations that can be found about this company can be divided into two groups, depending on the general attitude - positive and negative.
Among the first ones are those characteristics that are indicated on its website by the management of the Goszakaz company. Reviews from this category reveal the advantages of the company, noting the high competence of its employees, excellent results, decent support and quality work.
In addition to the official, on other sites you can also find praise for the company. They even sometimes describe the contracts that customers managed to win and the amount of funds received in this way.
There is, however, a category of negative characteristics about Goszakaz LLC. We do not take employee reviews into account - we will mention this in the future. As for the negative attitude of people to the activities of the company, the reason for this is, as they say in the reviews, the incompetence of managers, the wrong selection of tenders, the lack of results from cooperation with the company, as well as further attempts to leave collateral. More than one client notes that he intends to sue the group due to the refusal to pay the initial cash contribution.
Many of those who write reviews about "Goszakaz.ru" on different sites do not recommend cooperating with this structure.
Work in a company
To understand whether the described group is really scammers or is it an effective company that allows you to win profitable tenders, you can refer to what the reviews of employees say about the Goszakaz company. To find this information is quite simple: you need to go to the site dedicated to collecting feedback about employers from people who have experience in a particular company.
The recommendations of those who worked or continue to work in the Goszakaz group are not always positive. In particular, this relates to working conditions - employees write that they (in the company) do not work with clients, giving only promises. Some users emphasize that they are not satisfied with the working conditions (meaning household), as well as the scheme of payment of earnings. Read more about all of this below.
Jobs
And let's start with who can get a job in the team of the portal "Goszakaz.ru". Employee reviews, of course, do not give such information - this can be found only from sources with ads from this employer. Having come to one of them, we will see almost 400 open vacancies. Mostly, managers are required, but there are also some “technical” vacancies, such as SEO-optimizer or department manager. By clicking on the vacancy you are interested in, you can see the requirements that are put forward for the applicant.
Requirements
Of course, different conditions and requirements are put forward for a particular position. The company needs a person to comply with them in order to be able to carry out their work efficiently. In general, the general conditions are competence in the field of activity (for example, you need to know everything about advertising if you came to this department as a promotion manager), activity, determination and all the other “beautiful” qualities that are described in the questionnaires - responsibility, skill solve problems, creativity, desire to develop and so on. As the reviews of employees show about the Goszakaz company, of course, no one will check this. But the people from the personnel department who make the decision about your employment should see that you are full of energy and strength for further work here.
Salary
As for payment, there is some ambiguity. On the one hand, on sites with vacancies we can see clearly stated rates for each of the managers. This, for example, is a salary of 40 thousand rubles. If we talk about the vacancy of an IT specialist, then the cost of his work can reach 60-70 thousand. Managers are paid from 80 thousand rubles.
And if you look at the information on the portal "Goszakaz.ru", the reviews of employees voiced the rate of 18 thousand. Moreover, as noted by people who managed to work here, this amount is "white", that is, the amount that is officially declared by the employer in the necessary legal form. As for the surcharge, it is carried out "in an envelope" - that is, without appropriate clearance. Due to this, no one will guarantee that you will be paid this difference between 40 and 18 thousand. Formally, you do not confirm this in any way.
If this is true (and several employees have left such evidence), then this affects the rights of the employee.
Conditions
It should also be said about the conditions of work in the government procurement network. The reviews of the employees we are guided by on this occasion provide various information. Someone claims that the office, its location and decoration inside allow you to perform their duties in comfort. People are happy with everything, and they are happy to work in such conditions.
Someone, on the contrary, criticizes the situation in the company, referring to the lack of air conditioning and a normal heating system, due to which it is hot in summer and cold in winter.
But the majority of employees note the favorable atmosphere that has developed in the team, emphasizing the warm relations between colleagues. This cannot but please those who are interested in working here.
General impression
If we talk about the company "Goszakaz" from the point of view of the client (customer services), then, of course, the opinion about it is mixed. Such a model of the group’s work is still obvious: they promise a good result, sign a contract, and require a “guarantee” fee. Then they supposedly work for the benefit of your company, selecting tenders and drawing up contracts for them. Then, in case of victory, you pay extra to the company.
Many people write that they managed to significantly develop their business, achieve a lot, thanks to the State Order and its subsidiaries. This makes us think that such recommendations can be custom-made.
At the same time, other reviews indicate that the company takes money, promises to raise sales nicely, but then behaves incompetently and inappropriately. The question arises: is it really 1,500 people working in it, and is it true that their portfolio consists of 950 thousand companies? From this point of view, the group looks like an ordinary scam.
Regarding which company “Goszakaz” is inside, the feedback from employees will help us to reveal this in more detail. In particular, they note that work here is acceptable, if you do not take into account illegal actions with understating the official salary. In addition, there is evidence that employees are forced to lie to customers, providing them with false information. Of course, in favor of the Goszakaz network.
Employee reviews would probably be more numerous if the company really employed about 1,500 people at a time. And so, it is quite possible that the Goszakaz LLC group is scammers who create the appearance of a large company, and they themselves simply earn on pledges made by customers. At least, this impression develops after reading customer comments. This same idea is confirmed in relation to the Goszakaz Group of Companies by the feedback of the employees that we managed to find.
