As Ukraine’s economy improves and Euro 2012 looms larger in the thinking of many, the Kyiv Post Employment Fair, scheduled for June 4 in the Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, 33 Velyka Zhytomyrska Street in Kyiv, will provide an opportunity for employers and job seekers to match hiring needs and job skills.
After weathering the worst of the economic downturn that began in 2008, many employers are now rebuilding or expanding staff.
This bodes well as several thousand recent graduates and seasoned professionals converge on the fair to meet the recruiters for such companies as KPMG, Cargill, and Myronivsky Hliboproduct.
Not only is the improving economy important, Ukraine’s emergence as a major player in meeting world food security demands means that some of the country’s largest agro industrial holdings will be actively seeking top agriculture and agribusiness specialists to fill an expanding numbers of vacancies.
In addition to a number of fair participants in the fields of banking, law, and investment banking who have participated in a number of previous fairs, there are several new participants that include a major UK university, a printer of guidebooks, and a major international confectionary manufacturer.
Add to that a number of recruiting firms representing other areas of interest and you have opportunities for job seekers in almost every field of endeavor.
At last fall’s fair, more than 3,000 people visited the booths of 32 leading companies while 1,700 applicants were invited to job interviews. Hiring has picked up considerably since the 2009 economic recession.(Yaroslav Debelyi)
