If you want to open a company branch in Ukraine, you are going to need professional staff to run and support your office work.
Branch specialists
For the successful work of a company with fewer than 30 people on board, the following specialists should be sufficient:
Office manager will take over administration and supply of working space. This employee manages the work of the office departments, maintains records of sick days and vacations, keeps the office clean and tidy. At least some administrative staff should be able to speak English for effective communication.
HR manager is responsible for working with personnel and for enhancing the efficiency of the employees. The HR specialist’s main tasks are staff retention and building a friendly working environment within the company.
If your company employs fewer than ten people, an HR manager isn’t required. Normally, the owner or the Managing Director in smaller companies fills this role.
System administrator supports computer hardware and the office network, keeping them operational. Such an employee provides information security, that is, protection of company data. He or she also purchases and installs equipment.
You can hire a System administrator as an outsourced member of staff on IT Tel or Synchron. However, we believe that it’s best to hire a System administrator where the number of your employees is greater than 20 people.
