Roman Prokofiev, co-founder of the job search website Jooble, speaks with the Kyiv Post on Sept. 16, 2020, in his office in Kyiv. Prokofiev and his partner Yevgen Sobakaryov built Jooble from scratch in the dormitory of the Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, where they both studied computer science, back in 2006. Now their platform is the second-best in the world for jobs and employment, according to the analytical service SimilarWeb.
Ukrainian techies from Jooble help people in 71 countries find a job online.
On its website, Jooble publishes nearly 700,000 vacancies a day — it collects them from the companies’ career pages, social networks and online bulletin boards. The platform makes a tedious quest for a job easier because its algorithm analyzes users’ behavior and offers exactly what they need — whether they want to work as a taxi driver in Kyiv or a software engineer at Google in the U.S.
