Hello. My name is Artem. I am the founder and the director general of the Upremote requirement service to find employees from Russia for remote work.

Because of the situation in Russia, the fall of the ruble and tougher control over the internet many of our colleagues seek for employment abroad. But moving to another country is not easy and not everyone is ready for this. That is why we have come up with the idea to set up a small on-line recruitment agency, which will bring together potential candidates and employers from other countries. Differences in currency exchange rate can be mutually profitable for both.

On our first day of work we got over 200 CVs, which only proves that specialists from our country are eager to try remote employment.

How it works

We did our best to simplify the service. All the employer needs to do is to fill in a small form, providing the e-mail to receive CVs, stating who they are looking for and selecting subscription period.

For the subscription duration employers with receive CVs of the best specialists to the e-mail provided.

Our mission

We want truly talented specialists from Russia to live and earn as well as their colleagues from other countries.

Thank you.

Hi Artem,

This may be your personal reason for founding your company, but as a marketing message to attract new customers, it sucks. You may want to focus on "what's in it for me [the customer]" in your mission statement. What will you do for your customer, and how will you do it different/better than everyone else?


Ok . I just wanted to say that programmers from Russia more than once proved that they are the best in the world :)


Couple of questions:

a) In my experience the ability of coders from all countries varies a lot (even if the world champs are from Russia). How are you ensuring I get the best ones?

b) How do I specify which technologies I am interested in? Maybe you will send me all Rails when I want PHP, for example. Then I have wasted my money.

Thanks.


Thank you for your questions.

1 ) We select only those candidates who have a good experience . We get a lot of resume in Russian language , because people do not want to spend a lot of time for translation. And for you as an employer , it is a good opportunity to get a pool of candidates for your company for a very low price. 2) We will add the ability to select a single technology.


Thanks, I might use this in a month or so. Good luck!


Let me guess - despite "the situation in Russia", you still believe Putin did "the right thing", right?


I think this is not the place to discuss politics. I just want to help my colleagues to find a good job.


This is off topic and can lead to nothing good. Please don't.
