Lviv IT company HebronSoft will soon open new offices in the Transcarpathian region and Romania. In general, the autosourcer team has increased by 15% since the beginning of the full-scale war and intends to grow further, Konstantin Polosukhin, CEO of the company, told DOU.
Details of opening new officesTranscarpathia plans to open an office in the small town of Khust.
"This is a city with a relatively proper IT infrastructure and a fairly good quality of life and work. We have already registered there legally, and now we are working on relocating people there. In particular, we hired new employees who were evacuated from Kherson, and we want to relocate them to Khust. We have already found them housing infrastructure, kindergartens for children, etc.," Polosukhin said.
According to him, there is also a relative proximity to Romania, where the IT company plans to move further. Within the next month, the outsourcer intends to open its representative office in the Romanian city of Baia Mare (population-about 150 thousand people).
"We also evaluate this country in terms of quality of life, quality of compensation, taxation and the market. We have already previously found several locations for an office or coworking space there. Now we will work out this or that model," said the CEO of hebronsoft.
He specified that they are ready to relocate Ukrainians to Romania and hire specialists in the local market.
In addition, the company now has clients from Poland, so they allow integration into this country "just around the corner".
About Team growth, hiring, and the impact of war on customersAccording to Polosukhin, the company currently cooperates with about 70 specialists. In the next two months, they plan to attract another 15-20 specialists. In particular, they are looking for Senior Fullstack (React + Node.js) Developer. Moreover, it can also be separately React Developer or Node.js Developer.
Currently, the IT company operates in a hybrid format. The team moved from one office in Lviv to another, where they created a safer environment.
"In the previous place we had the 4th floor, and here is the first, and there is a bunker room not far from the park. Although only 20% of our employees now work directly in the office, the rest — remotely," the general director informed.
Even before the war, the company planned to open a location in Kamianets-Podilskyi (Khmelnitsky region). Educational programs have already been launched there. However, now they were forced to suspend integration into this city.
Polosukhin also said that due to the war, some customers were lost, but new ones came, so in general, the situation with customers and projects remained at the same level.
"Probably, our social component helps here and the fact that many people are with us not only for business — they believe in Ukraine. Many foreign clients support us, are loyal to Ukraine and understand what is happening," he concluded.
Earlier it was reported that the Ukrainian IT company Genesis opened an office with 200 seats in Warsaw, because some of its employees left for Poland after a full-scale war. The company also plans to set up a temporary office in Cyprus.
