Uitop is looking for talents!
IT has always been attractive to young people: advanced modern technologies, the ability to work anywhere in the world, and high salaries.
After February 24, 2022, interest in the field grew exponentially. There were 13 candidates applying for one UI/UX designer position at the same time, 17 candidates for the QA Manual position, and 7 candidates for HR.
Today, the situation is similar, as IT is the only industry in Ukraine that grew in the turbulent year of 2022.
Uitop, a member of Kharkiv IT Cluster, also felt the oversaturation of the labor market. In just a month, the team received 400+ responses to UI/UX designer vacancy.
«Despite the large number of responses. We review each CV and give feedback to everyone who has sent a completed test task: what skills need to be improved, what needs to be learned, etc.», — quote from Anastasia Tarasenko, HR Uitop.
