Facts and comments on foreign workers
WORKIN works daily with routes from 9 countries, permits and people starting their shifts. We share that practice with newsrooms: figures, procedures, breakdowns of legislative changes - fast and to the point.
Email for newsrooms - press@workin.com.ua. Requests with a deadline are answered the same day.
In short
Practice instead of generic expert talk
We do not comment on «the labour market in general» - we explain how hiring and legalising foreign workers actually works: how long a route takes, where projects stall, what a new regulation changes. If a question is outside our practice, we say so - and do not invent expertise.
What we offer
Five formats for newsrooms
All of it from real project practice, with no invented figures.
- 01
A quick comment
Two or three paragraphs to the point, on your deadline: rule changes, route situations, permit and visa practice.
- 02
A speaker for interviews and broadcasts
Director Serhii Yevdokimov - on the labour market, hiring foreign workers and how it looks from inside the projects.
- 03
Breakdowns of legislative changes
What exactly changed for the employer and the worker, who it affects and what to do - in plain language, with a link to the primary source.
- 04
Anonymised project facts
Industry, city, headcount, route, timings - without company names. Enough for a story to stand on real data.
- 05
Procedure explainers
How the permit, the D visa and migration registration work: step by step, with practical timings - for reference and explainer pieces.
Boundaries
What we comment on - and what we don't
These boundaries protect both readers and our clients. They are not negotiable.
We comment with confidence on
- Employment of foreigners in Ukraine: procedures and practice
- Routes from 9 countries: timings, bottlenecks, process costs
- Changes in employment and foreigners' status legislation
- Daily life and adaptation of foreign workers at enterprises
- The blue-collar labour market through a recruiter's eyes
We never comment on
- Politics and geopolitics - we are a staffing agency
- Specific clients without their written consent
- Other companies and their methods
- Workers' and candidates' personal data
- Topics outside our practice - we are not «experts on everything»
If you need a worker or an enterprise as a story subject - we arrange it only with the person's and the company's consent. Without consent there will be no names, no photos, no «recognisable details».
How it works
Four steps from request to quote
The process is simple, because newsrooms have no time for a complicated one.
- 01
A request to the press centre inbox
Write to press@workin.com.ua: topic, questions, format and deadline. A newsroom phone number speeds up clarifications.
Who does itNewsroomTiming1 email - 02
We confirm and clarify
We reply whether we are useful on the topic and what exactly we can give. If the topic is not ours - we say so at once and do not eat your deadline.

We prepare the comment or the speaker
A written comment - on your deadline. An interview or broadcast - we fit the speaker's time within the next working days.

Quote check
We ask to see the quotes before publication - only to verify facts and figures, not to «smooth out» the wording.
Who does itNewsroom + WORKINTimingbefore publication
Comments and the speaker's participation are free for newsrooms. Advertising formats are a separate conversation - and they are always labelled as advertising.
Money
The press centre and money
Comments, facts and the speaker for editorial pieces are free: we want hiring of foreign workers covered accurately, not sensationally. We do not sell paid «expert comments». If a piece is advertising, it is done under a separate agreement and always labelled as advertising - no exceptions.
Recruitment + migration support + state fees = project budget
Each recipient issues a separate invoice. Payments are not mixed.
What forRecruitment: sourcing, candidate vetting, coordination up to the first shift
When it is paid50% after the contract · 50% after the start
What forMigration documents: translation, permit, visa, residence permit, registration. A separate legal entity with its own account
When it is paidOne payment before paperwork begins
What forState fees for processing documents. Amounts are set by law
When it is paidOn filing each document
What forHousing, transport, meals and other agreed expenses. The scope and cost are fixed separately for the specific city and group
When it is paidOn the schedule agreed in the contract
What the WORKIN recruitment fee covers
- Sourcing and vetting candidates for your profile
- Approval of every profile with the enterprise
- Coordination of the document route with the migration partner
- Arrival logistics, meeting at the border and transfer
- Preparation of the first working day and support after the start
We receive the second half only when the worker has started the shift.
The estimate depends on the country, trade, number of workers, pay and additional project conditions: housing, transport and meals.
Line-by-line amounts will be published once the current price list is confirmed and state fees are re-checked against official sources - with the date of validity next to them.
If you are not a newsroom
Pages for enterprises
Looking for workers rather than a press centre? This way.
We need people for our enterprise
We need figures for management

Commercial proposalThe proposal shows the cost structure across the three payees and the timeframe.
We want to understand the procedure

Readiness checklistThe checklist walks documents, workplaces and occupational safety before the people arrive.

Questions and answers
What journalists ask
Timings, the speaker and quoting rules.
Emails with a deadline - the same day. If the deadline was «yesterday», call the hotline 0 800 330 024 and say you are a newsroom - the email will be found faster.
Company director Serhii Yevdokimov. He negotiates complex projects himself, so he speaks from practice, not from a PR person's talking points.
No. Everything we tell newsrooms we are ready to sign with the company name and the speaker's name. Anonymous «market sources» are not our format.
Yes, anonymised: routes, timings, industries, group sizes. Company names and personal data are not disclosed even off the record.
Only with the person's voluntary consent and, if it concerns a site, the enterprise's consent. We help with interpreting. We will not pressure a worker for the sake of a story.
So that mixed-up figures or timings do not reach publication - in this topic an error misleads both employers and workers. The newsroom's style and conclusions we do not touch.
No. We do not buy editorial mentions. Advertising placements are a separate agreement and an obligatory «advertising» label.
Write to press@workin.com.ua - we will send the logo and photos cleared for publication. Do not take images straight from the site: not all of them are licensed for reprint.
