What Zaichenko Team does

Zaichenko Team is a bootstrapped recruitment advertising platform operated as a Polish-registered sole proprietorship (Maksym Zaichenko | Zaichenko Team, NIP 5273218930, REGON 544734608) by founder Maksym Zaichenko. The company operates a dual-sided job marketplace connecting employers with a curated talent pool of 30,000+ professionals, primarily accessible through a Telegram channel capped at three vacancies per day, a WordPress-based website job board, Instagram, Facebook, and an email newsletter. Candidates submit a CV once via an Airtable form and receive ongoing curated job offers, while employers pay $80–$725 for tiered vacancy posting packages (1, 2, 5, or 10 postings) with a guaranteed-response policy (fewer than five targeted responses within one week triggers free reposting).

The underlying technology stack is intentionally lean: a WordPress website fronted by Cloudflare CDN/security, Stripe for payment processing, Airtable for candidate and CV management, and Google Analytics 4, Meta Pixel, and Hotjar for analytics and remarketing. There is no proprietary AI matching engine, no native mobile app, no public API or SDK, and no disclosed integrations beyond standard SaaS tooling. Distribution is exclusively through owned digital channels with no third-party marketplace listings or reseller network.

Revenue is generated entirely through employer-paid vacancy publication fees on a 100% prepayment basis, with free publication for ZSU and volunteer organizations. The customer mix spans enterprise (BetterMe, Kyivstar.Tech, WhiteBIT, Mate academy, Gamzix, Genesis) through SMB and startup clients across iGaming, EdTech, HealthTech, e-commerce, fintech, and SaaS. Geographic coverage is anchored in Ukraine and Poland, with remote-friendly extensions into the US, UK, Germany, Canada, Cyprus, and Brazil. The company has been operating for 6+ years without external investment and remains a single-founder operation.
