The 15th anniversary Kyiv Post Employment Fair will take place on Nov. 6 at the Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, 33 Velyka Zhytomyrska Street.
This is the first and the largest employment fair in Kyiv since fall 2008, when the economic downturn set in and hiring came to a halt. The last Kyiv Post Employment Fair was held in October 2008, with 35 top local and foreign companies participating and more than 4,000 visitors.
The Kyiv Post re-launched its Employment Fair in 2010 after noticing signs of an economic revival in Ukraine, where gross domestic product slumped 15 percent in 2009.
The Kyiv Post Employment Fair is not only the best place to look for a job, but also the best place for companies to find qualified personnel and young promising professionals to hire.”
– Jim Phillipoff, Kyiv Post chief executive officer.
By the end of October, more than 30 top-notch Ukrainian and international companies in banking, auditing, legal, information technology, agriculture and recruitment, universities and business schools have agreed to participate in the fair.
The names include information giants Google and IBM, Big Four auditing firms KPMG and PricewaterhouseCoopers, five-star Intercontinental Hotel, global logistics company DHL, international UkrSibBank, Bank of Cyprus and Swedbank, investment bank Phoenix Capital, top agriculture company Cargill and international consumer goods companies Procter & Gamble and SCA Hygiene.
“The Kyiv Post Employment Fair is not only the best place to look for a job, but also the best place for companies to find qualified personnel and young promising professionals to hire,” said Kyiv Post chief executive officer Jim Phillipoff, who urged job seekers to bring their CVs with them.
More than 4,000 people are expected to visit the one-day Employment Fair in search of career opportunities.
In the past, the typical visitor has been a young, ambitious professional with knowledge of at least one foreign language.
The fair is also an attractive place for top university graduates interested in finding internship opportunities and gaining experience.
