Remote work is becoming increasingly popular in Ukraine, as evidenced by the rise in the number of job vacancies on recruitment portals, which has already reached several thousand. This phenomenon is linked to the opportunity to earn good money without leaving home. For example, some employers are willing to pay employees over 50,000 hryvnias.

Candidates should have negotiation skills and the ability to conduct presentations, as well as be fluent in Ukrainian and Russian. Knowledge of English and other languages will be an advantage. A hotel management company offers a salary of 50,000 to 60,000 hryvnias for a tourism manager, whose key responsibilities will include selling services through calls and messages on Instagram and Facebook.
An educational agency is also offering a vacancy for an education manager abroad with a salary ranging from 25,000 to 50,000 hryvnias. Among the requirements: knowledge of English at an Upper-Intermediate level or higher, as well as communication skills and customer orientation.
Trends in the Labor Market
However, despite the growth of vacancies in the remote work sector, no significant increase in jobs is expected in the main sectors of the Ukrainian economy. According to forecasts, layoffs will far exceed the hiring of new employees across all key sectors.
