«No standards but double standards!» he wrote .
By the way, such restrictions also occur in vacancies from other employers.
Here, for example, is an offer from Zooletech, which also states that specialists in Ukraine are not being considered.
There are quite a few comments under Oleksiy’s post — IT people are looking for an explanation for such selectivity.
«There are a lot of well-reasoned reasons for this today. I don’t see anything like that. I don’t like it — look for a product inside Ukraine, not a Ukrainian product in Europe, why spread this nonsense?», — writes Product Designer from Odessa Artemiy Kosovich .
Fullstack JavaScript Developer Volodymyr Simon notes: «It’s a common thing. I advise you not to indicate in your CV that you speak Ukrainian. I was recently told that because of „Ukrainian origin“ they won’t even consider your CV, because this is an employer’s requirement.» By the way, there is no mention of Ukraine in his profile.
According to tester Maksym Romanov, this approach has been standard practice in recent years.
«It’s completely understandable, given the situation. Judging by the title, this is one of the key positions in the team, and the sudden disappearance of a person during a trip to the store can have very serious consequences. But I agree with the standards, they could be taken away,» says Senior Software Engineer Oleksandr Kazmirchuk .
«Business is simply insuring itself. Why take on the risk of busification?», says Senior IOS Engineer Serhiy Pik .
Bogdan Solomich, Full Stack Developer, notes: «Well, I’ve known for a long time that the world is over. But I’m convinced that there are no obstacles for the Russians. Or, perhaps, they also have Russian-speaking employees on their staff, and therefore they are afraid that there will be conflicts, and they decided to please those who already work for them.»
