Companies Scaling with Alcor

Alcor is a reliable partner that meets our hiring needs. We finally hired experienced software engineers in Eastern Europe with strong tech skills and business acumen. Account Managers are awesome!

Andrii Akselrod CTO People.ai

With Alcor’s all-in-one solution, we got a software R&D office with 15 senior PHP devs and a compliant operational coverage. I really appreciated their transparent pricing structure and deep expertise.

Boris Glants CTO Tonic Health

We interviewed a lot of EoR platforms and companies, but Alcor was the only one that provides a combo package of EoR and Recruting offerings. Alcor helped us build a full stack team in 1.5 month.

Dmitrii Iermiichuk Head of Engineering Gotransverse

We wanted to switch from our outsourcing provider, and Alcor has become really game-changing for us. Within a mere 6 months, we got a fully-fledged team of 30 engineers in our own R&D office.

Elena Leonova Director of Product Management BigСommerce

Alcor’s R&D solution eclipses full-cycle recruitment, EOR service, and operational support for our offshore team. Their ‘all-in-one place’ approach is far more cost-effective than I could’ve imagined.

Farhad Shamshirzan
Farhad Shamshirzan Director of Software Engineering Certent

I value their commitment to going the extra mile. We evolved from an outstaff project into an independent company, and Alcor’s support was crucial. They hired and ondoarded 15+ professionals for us.

Grigoriy Didorenko Research and Development Director BIScience

Thanks to Alcor, we hired four engineers and a designer that strengthened our team. Beside stellar recruitment, Alcor flawlessly handled our payroll. Their approach was seamless and swift.

Kirill Latish Head of Engineering & Communications Velory

Alcor closed our 4 QA positions in a month and more than doubled the team in a year! We chose Alcor because of their communication style, cost, scope of services, and ideas to help us be successful.

FAQ about IT recruitment services in Ukraine

1) How can I hire offshore developers in Ukraine fast?

To speed up the IT recruiting process in Kyiv, Lviv, Odesa and other Ukrainian cities, product companies usually partner up with a local IT recruiting agency. The IT recruitment firm in Ukraine will cover most of the research and selection work to offer you the best IT talents within the shortest deadlines. For foreigners, the RPO provider will also help navigate through the Ukrainian labor market to stay competitive. This includes preparing insightful market research, talent pool analysis, sharing salary data, reporting on the availability of required IT specialists, and advising on employer branding benefits.

2) Is it advisable to hire professional software developers in Ukraine during the war?

Sure. Despite the war, foreign tech companies are more than welcome to hire Ukrainian software developers. The latter have successfully adapted to the changes by relocating to safer regions of Ukraine and abroad, as well as supplying themselves with power banks and uninterrupted Internet to deliver high-quality results despite any blackouts (which are no longer the case in Ukraine). Their dedication and stress resistance have allowed a majority of IT companies to deal with most challenges and work stably, while more than 34% of tech businesses have succeeded to adjust to a new reality to the fullest. And with the help of a reliable IT recruitment partner like Alcor, the process of recruiting experienced Ukrainian programmers becomes cost-effective and easy!

3) How can one find a competent IT recruitment company in Ukraine?

Recruitment services for IT companies are specific, so it’s better to choose a specialized Ukrainian IT recruiting company. Find the best IT hiring agency in Ukraine on Clutch, GoodFirms, or ask for recommendations in your network. Or just contact Alcor! We’ve got the recommendations!
