Recruit · Ukrainian staff for international companies

People who work the way your company works.

We find Ukrainian professionals with an international mindset, working English and your industry’s contacts — from a single representative to a full team — and we stay involved after the hire: employment, payroll and compliance are the same partner.

Sectors we hire for

Who this is for

Built for three situations

  • An international company opening or growing a Ukrainian presence — a trade representative, a sales lead, an engineering or project team.
  • A company that tried Western job boards and search tools in Ukraine and got CVs that looked right and candidates who weren’t.
  • A project owner who needs a mixed team of Ukrainian technicians and foreign specialists on one site, legally employed and permitted.

The offer

Four ways we recruit

Search and selection

Permanent hires for roles that are hard to fill locally: management, engineering, finance, business development, sales and marketing. Relocation, permits and payrolling available — which lets us reach passive candidates who would not otherwise move.

Executive search

Confidential headhunting for senior and expert roles, reaching people who would not talk to a local agency.

Remote and service-centre staff

Search, selection and payrolling of remote Ukrainian staff on a compliant employment contract — and a route to grow them into a Ukrainian service centre with local facilities and training.

Mixed contractor teams

Ukrainian technicians plus foreign specialists for construction and energy projects: search, employment, work and residence permits for the foreigners, training and licensing compliance. Typical: power-plant maintenance teams, wind-park construction crews.

Recruiting marketing

When the vacancy needs an audience first

Foreign employers hiring Ukrainian or international candidates face four problems local employers don’t: candidates cannot visit you, they expect information in their own language, they want the relocation and permit path explained before they apply, and they want to ask questions in their native language. We run the pieces that fix that, separately or together:

  • Advertising — Ukrainian job boards in Ukrainian and English with A/B-tested copy; targeted social campaigns; direct outreach to matching profiles in our database. Free listing on our own job board.
  • Employer profile — a multilingual employer page on our board, or content for your own site and channels.
  • Candidate line — a dedicated phone number with Telegram, WhatsApp and Viber, answered in the candidate’s language, so interested people become applicants.
  • Recruiting support — a foreign-candidate campaign produces roughly ten times the applications of a local one; we take the screening load, paid as used.

How it works

From brief to hire

1 · Brief

A call with Marina: the role, the site, the language level, the start date, and whether the person will be employed by you or through us.

2 · Search

A candidate database built since 2006, our network, referrals and outreach; screening for international business culture, not just the CV.

3 · Shortlist

Interviewed, reference-checked candidates with our assessment; you interview the ones you choose.

4 · Hire — and employ

Your contract, or ours from day one with payroll and permits handled. Either way the same team stays on the file.

Before you write

Questions companies ask first

How do you screen?

Interview, reference and background checks as standard; additional assessments on request for specific roles. We screen for fit with international working culture as much as for skills — that is where local hires most often fail.

Do we need a Ukrainian entity to hire through you?

No. We can employ the person on our contract while you direct the work. See Employ without an entity.

What does it cost?

Search is priced per placement; recruiting-marketing services are priced per campaign or as used. You get a quote after the brief, with nothing hidden in the employment step.
