Work without deception: how a company with a Ukrainian CEO is changing the lives of migrants

In light of transformational global changes, migrants from Asia, Africa, Moldova, and Ukraine are increasingly traveling to Europe in search of safe, stable work. But instead of legal employment, thousands of them end up in a gray area: without a contract, without guarantees, without understanding what awaits them. It's not just about losing wages — it's about vulnerability and lack of protection.

"We often hear stories of people being lured with promises and then abandoned. Our principle is to work only legally, transparently, and with full support," says Vyacheslav Gryny, co-owner and head of strategic development at the Polish HR company ProfiHand.

His team is engaged in international recruitment, in particular attracting employees from countries where looking for work abroad is often associated with risks. But their model is different: no “gray” schemes, all documents are official, accommodation is verified, and working conditions are known before arrival.

ProfiHand is one of the few companies in Eastern Europe that not only recruits staff but is also responsible for the entire cycle: from recruitment to adaptation. Candidates receive information about the vacancy before crossing the border, sign a contract in their country, undergo digital training using an AI module, and once on site, receive support from a coordinator, accommodation, and advice.

"Our system sees more than just a resume. It shows what job suits a person, under what conditions, and whether there is a risk of failure. And then there is live support," explains Vyacheslav.

For many workers, this support is critically important. The company guarantees not only a contract, but also humane living conditions, legal support, and information in a language
