Employers want to hire specialists from Ukraine

As many as 77 percent of employers in the survey conducted by Antal declare their willingness to employ workers from Ukraine also in specialist and managerial positions. Vacancies are waiting in virtually all departments of the company. According to the respondents, the possibility of employing Ukrainian workers will positively translate into the Polish labor market in both the short and long term.

Antal published the results of a survey conducted among 276 employers on the employment potential of employees from Ukraine in specialist and managerial positions. Most of the respondents offer vacancies available to Ukrainian workers. The industries in which most companies want to increase employment include transport and logistics (100 percent), IT (90 percent) as well as banking and insurance (86 percent). On average, companies can offer 15 vacancies for lower-level positions and 5 vacancies for specialists. The functions that could be assumed by the Ukrainians await in almost every area of ​​the organization's operation.

“Since the outbreak of the war, employers have been involved in dozens of initiatives to help refugees. In addition to financial and organizational support, they declare their willingness to employ workers from Ukraine in their structures. Advertisements are more and more often translated into Ukrainian or English and the number of available options is constantly growing. Managers of enterprises report to us that they are looking for automation and maintenance engineers, accountants, customer service specialists, or administrative employees. Additionally, many of these functions can be easily applied by women, including those taking care of children, due to the greater possibility of remote work,” Artur Skiba, President of Antal, emphasized.
