The purpose of the study is to evaluate the tools and methods of formation of personnel reserve. As a result of the study, it was found that inclusion in the personnel reserve involves using of appropriate HR-technologies established both by federal and local legislation, which causes a certain differentiation of approaches to the formation of personnel reserve. It was also revealed that the use of mandatory evaluation procedures does not ensure full competency assessment of a candidate for inclusion in the personnel reserve.
