The mechanism of managing the strategic staffing gaps that the development of the region

Awareness of the importance of human resources in a social production, the key role of human resources in the economic growth of the country are the main components in terms of deepening integration processes. The inertial development of the economic sectors of the regions of Ukraine creates an asymmetry in the regional labor market, which in the face of new opportunities and challenges will be a threat to the human resources of the country as a whole. Based on the relevance of the proposed topic, the article is devoted to the substantiation of the mechanism of managing the strategic staffing gaps that affect the development of the territory on the example of Kharkiv region. The article proposes the mechanism of managing the strategic staffing gaps that affect the development of the region, which is a complex integrated system, whose elements are: purpose, objectives, principles, functions, forms, methods, tools and prerequisites for implementation. Each structural element of the mechanism is justified in accordance with the general factors of human resources management and the factors of effective management and involvement of stakeholders. After all, managing the strategic staffing gaps involves moving away from traditional indicative planning and management processes, and implementing strategic transformations by engaging territory stakeholders in the process and aligning their interests. Also, the article proposes directions of implementation of the mechanism for managing the strategic staffing gaps based on previously conducted studies of factors that determine the emergence of "staffing gaps". The obstacles to the implementation of this mechanism and the possibilities of their solution are considered. Prospects for further research in this area are to identify measures for the practical implementation of this mechanism in order to overcome he strategic staffing gaps of the Kharkiv region
