Key findings from the rating:
- Ukraine’s IT hiring momentum remains strong, with Genesis (+341 specialists) and SKELAR (+297) emerging as the top growth leaders. As of January 2025, the total headcount across Ukraine’s 50 largest IT companies reached 79,100, with 6,900 new hires in the past six months. Notably, headcount in the product segment increased, partly due to new entrants to the ranking, including FAVBET TECH and UPSTARS, both developing solutions for the iGaming industry.
- For the first time in three years, Ukraine’s IT industry has seen a halt in talent outflow — the total number of specialists in the Top 50 companies has remained almost unchanged. Product companies continue to drive growth, although service firms are also actively hiring. The highest demand is for AI-related projects and talent.
- More than half of companies plan to expand their teams in the second half of 2025, with six ready to hire over 200 specialists each. However, there has been a slight increase in the number of companies not planning any headcount changes.
- As of July 2025, the Top 50 ranking includes 23 service companies, one outstaffing provider, 21 product companies and five hybrid firms. The share of product companies continues to grow, with two more joining the list over the past six months.
