The situation in Ukraine brought a quality workforce that allows business owners and companies to get new talents that are eager to succeed, while helping people in despair
With recruiting fees on the rise, employers in the US are looking for the best ways to save on the cost of hiring candidates. And it’s a no-brainer that in the US, many recruiting agencies connect companies to highly skilled candidates, but at grievous costs and strenuous recruiting processes. When sourcing for skilled candidates, you have plenty of options – the challenge is finding these candidates within your budget and priorities.
Hundreds of US employers are now focusing on the Ukrainian community with highly skilled and talented candidates. So if you’ve found yourself asking, “Where can I find top talented job candidates at a fraction of the cost?” this article provides all the answers you need.
Why Ukrainian Candidates?
Ukrainians have been the center of the world’s focus since the invasion of their country by Russia. The US has received more than 100,000 Ukrainians in more than five months following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, offering temporary residence and work permits to Ukrainian citizens. But what’s more about Ukrainian candidates seeking jobs in the US?
- Unique talents
Ukrainians, in general, are a special breed of devoted hardworking people. Even before the Russian invasion, US companies as well as many western European employers have outsourced several IT projects to Ukraine. Ukrainians offer unique talents and skills at a very reduced cost. - Stand with Ukraine
As Ukrainians are being forced to flee their country, seeking refuge from the Russian invasion, the economy of the United States is struggling with more demand for workers than there are people to work. Hiring top talents from Ukraine is a way of standing with Ukraine. - Highly cost-effective
Recruiting Ukrainians skilled in the IT field or talented as nannies, chefs, handymen, etc, can be highly cost-effect with recruitment agencies like UWC. The usual recruitment fee in the US is around $15K and above. UWC has gathered these different sets of skilled Ukrainian workers living in the US under one umbrella with recruitment fees as low as $10K a year.
Job categories for Ukrainian Candidates
There are thousands of jobs in the US available through different networks of online jobs and through recruitment agencies, where Ukrainian candidates can perfectly fit in. Keep in mind that more than 95% of these candidates understand and communicate adequately in English. If you’re looking to get one of these guys into your team, then consider looking into the following categories.
- Based on Skills
The days of CV-based hiring are almost out the window. Most recruiters are looking out for candidates that will not only give verbal or handwritten job experiences but can also demonstrate the level of their skills. That’s why at UWC, we help employers like you conduct skill-based interviews on your behalf for the perfect hire, so you don’t have to stress it.
- Based on Talent
As mentioned earlier, Ukraine has been one of the world’s top outsourcing hubs for IT projects, even before the war in Ukraine. Projects get perfectly executed at a fraction of the cost. Most Ukrainians living already in the US are known to be talented in handy jobs, taking care of kids and the elderly, etc. For them, it comes naturally and they are usually devoted to their jobs.
With UWC, you can hire Ukrainians skilled in different parts of the IT industry, handymen for construction industries, as well as top-rated restaurant chefs, waiters, and waitresses. But that’s not all, there are talented nannies, interior designers, craftsmen, etc. Reach out to them today.
Can Ukrainian Refugees work legally in the US?
Short answer, absolutely yes! Long answer – All Ukrainian candidates and refugees under UWC migrated to the United States with the U4U program. This program grants these refugees the legal right and opportunity to work in the US.
Consequently, these workers, both remote and on-site are properly screened by recruiting agencies, thereby relieving employers of the hassle of this tedious process. When hiring a Ukrainian candidate with UWC, be rest assured you’re bringing in an already prepped team player.
Before the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Ukrainians have been migrating to the US since the 19th century and the US is now home to the second-largest Ukrainian population in the world.
According to MPI, 48% of Ukrainian immigrants are working in Management, Business, Science, and Arts Occupations, 17% in service occupations, 15% in sales and office occupations, 9% in natural resources, construction, and maintenance occupations, and 11% in production, transportation, and material moving occupations. Ukrainian immigrants have helped shape many industries in America such as farming, railed construction, factory work, textiles, government, politics, teaching, and religion.
Connecting with Top Ukrainian Skilled workers in the US
UWC recently conducted a survey where thousands of Ukrainians that recently moved to the US were asked why they’re yet without jobs. More than 95% of them were in the same boat – not knowing the best way to connect to the right jobs. And vice versa, employers seeking to recruit them are usually unaware of the reliable sources to get in touch with these skilled Ukrainian candidates.
That’s why UWC exists – to be the connecting link between these candidates and American employers seeking to fill in job positions with such talents at a fraction of the cost and with zero stress.
