Background information

On 24 February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine. As a result of Russian aggression, many Ukrainian refugees fled to Poland. Almost 4.5 million people have crossed the Polish-Ukrainian border, of which over 1.2 million have already obtained a Polish PESEL number. Over 270,000 Ukrainians found jobs in Poland. Chancellery of the Prime Minister intends to help refugees over barriers and help them find a job in accordance with their qualifications.

Governmental portal pracawpolsce.gov.pl contains over 160,000 verified job offers and is updated every day. To use the portal, a person must fill a form, so that there is no need to provide a CV.
