What grc.ua does

GRC.UA is a Ukrainian online job portal and recruitment platform founded in 2005 and operated by ТОВ «ЛОГОС ПЕРСОНАЛ» (LLC LOGOS PERSONNEL), a Kyiv-headquartered limited liability company directed by Olha Makovii. The company runs a horizontal job marketplace serving both employers and job seekers, with a database of approximately 2.9 million resumes, 85,201 registered employers, and 3,748 active vacancies. Its positioning is differentiated within Ukraine by being self-described as the only job portal in the country founded by recruitment and HR management professionals, combining online portal capabilities with an offline full-cycle recruitment agency.

The product suite is multi-layered. The core platform offers tiered vacancy posting (Premium, Standard+, Standard with varying visibility and duration), subscription-based access to the candidate resume database with filtering by region, profession, and specialization, employer branding content (interviews, articles), banner advertising, and a SOAP-based HR-XML gateway for automated candidate delivery into employer ATS/HR systems. Additional modules include Talent Generator, a managed mass-candidate outreach service delivering up to 300 profiles per month via advertising campaigns, and the annual Labor Market Barometer research — a 14-year-old analytical product covering 15+ industries. Full-cycle executive search is delivered through the in-house GRC.UA recruitment agency (300+ vacancies closed in 2023 with a 2-week average fill time,), with international reach via the Kestria alliance spanning 47 countries.

Revenue is generated primarily through subscription-based vacancy posting fees and resume database access packages, supplemented by professional services revenue from Talent Generator campaigns and executive search mandates, plus advertising and employer branding. The company employs 26 staff and is privately held with no disclosed external funding. Distribution leverages organic SEO, a 1,253+ article blog, seven niche-segment Telegram channels (IT, Sales, HR, Marketing, Premium, General, Other), a Facebook presence, HR community events (HRD-Wednesday, Rekruttoriia), and co-branded research partnerships with major Ukrainian media (UNIAN, 1+1 Media, NV.ua, Forbes Ukraine, Interfax-Ukraine, Delo.ua).
