Recruitment of workers from Ukraine
Amer has supported the hiring of Ukrainian workers for many years. The proximity of our two countries, a similar work culture and the ease of learning the language mean that a Ukrainian worker often performs better on the job than a local one.
Production workers from Ukraine: machine and line operators, assembly and quality control staff, the most frequently filled group in plants across Silesia. We fill single positions as well as whole shifts, including three-shift operations.
Construction, warehousing and industry. Construction workers from Ukraine are not only physical strength but also people educated in the field, with knowledge of structures and external wall insulation. This group also covers warehouse staff and seasonal workers from Ukraine, who are needed for a few months a year.
Category C and C+E drivers and forklift operators with valid licences. Before a referral we check licences, medical clearance and whether the driving licence has to be exchanged for a Polish one.
Sales, medical care, the cosmetics industry and services. Ukrainians are very well educated, confirmed by the renowned universities and technical schools that set Ukraine apart in the region. For occupations that require formal recognition of a diploma, we raise it before referring the candidate.
In services, sales and care work a large share of candidates are women from Ukraine. We always select for the position and the qualifications it requires, never for gender.

They are a committed, punctual people who approach their professional duties with remarkable diligence. Workers from Ukraine bring skills in construction, warehousing, industry and agriculture.
Workers from Ukraine in the service sector are very popular among Amer clients. It is an area of the economy dominated by women, and because of the war there are currently very many of them in Poland. In sales, medical care and the cosmetics industry, Ukrainian workers do exceptionally well.
We help our clients find and hire a worker from Ukraine permanently, and when demand varies we provide leasing of workers from Ukraine. This works especially well where demand rises sharply for a few months a year, for example during production peaks. If you want to hire a worker from Ukraine for a few months or permanently, we match the form of cooperation for employers to how long the need will last.
Our agency helps match the candidate to the role perfectly, taking into account their hard and soft competencies, skills and professional experience. Seasonal workers from Ukraine deserve particular attention. Demand for them grows when new projects or investments start. The automotive industry is a good example: leasing workers from Ukraine for a set period covers staffing gaps without exceeding the budget set aside for it.
As an employment agency we run the whole placement process: we look for candidates, verify their experience and qualifications, and then take over the formalities of lawfully entrusting work. The employer reports the need, while candidate selection and paperwork stay on our side. We run temporary work and permanent recruitment in parallel, so the form of cooperation follows how long you need the headcount.
Leasing workers from Ukraine, that is temporary work for a set period, answers a need that rises and falls during the year. The agency then becomes the formal employer, while you give the day to day instructions at your own site. For a season, a spike in orders or cover for an absent worker, we scale the headcount up or down on your request.
Silesia is a region especially attractive to workers from Ukraine. The number of large production plants and investments across Silesia offers a wide choice of work and professional development.
The Katowice Special Economic Zone deserves particular attention: it offers a range of varied job opportunities, rich training packages and many ways to broaden professional horizons.
The Amer employment agency has been helping Silesia close staffing gaps successfully for years. The proof is the satisfaction of our clients and many positive references and recommendations. Many of the companies we supplied with workers went on to hire them permanently and invest steadily in developing their staff.
Searching for, recruiting and hiring workers from Ukraine is a real challenge. The basis of residence and the basis of work are two separate matters, and they decide which documents have to be filed and by when. Amer takes all these formalities off the shoulders of the HR departments looking for workers.
We are an example of professional employment mediation. We have many years of experience behind us, and the employment of every person we recruit meets all legal requirements. Legality and transparency of employment have been our motto for years.
Hiring workers from Ukraine involves many formalities and requires knowledge of labour law. Legal employment is always in the interest of both sides, and our agency does everything to make the process as smooth as possible. We also help workers with the formalities of their stay in Poland.
