My name is Lukas. I'm co-founder of Turing College (YC W21), an online data & coding school in Europe.
We decided to use our network of 40+ tech companies & know-how to help tech-savvy Ukrainians find new career opportunities in European Union.
Due to the fast escalating war in Ukraine, many of its citizens are immigrating to Europe to save their lives!
Expected that up to 5M Ukrainians can leave their home country due to war! Over 0.5M have already fled in just over four days!
Many of these refugees left their jobs, so they are looking for new opportunities!
We've created a website where Ukrainians, who have experience in IT, can leave information about themselves. We will share this information with legit companies that are hiring!
We're collecting applications for these positions:
- Marketing specialists of any kind (growth, performance, PPC marketers, etc.) - QA specialists. - Software developers of any kind. - Data scientists/ML engineers/analysts of any kind. So if you're hiring for a remote position or your company has an office in Europe, you can apply here: https://www.turingcollege.com/stay-with-ukraine
If you know war refugees, looking for jobs in tech, please share this opportunity with them!
P.s. some Ukrainians've stayed and are looking for remote opportunities! We will share information about them as well!
I'm looking forward to your feedback about this initiative; maybe you have ideas on how we can reach more people?

Hi Lukas I want to assume good intent but this feels like a very clear submarine article.
You submitted a post on YC 8 months ago announcing your launch so this was clearly not for the purpose of helping Ukranian refugees.
Leveraging victims of war crimes to self-promote is not a good look.

I applaud to the intiative/idea, but it seems to me like it is "dangerous", given the current situation, I mean, by registering as a recruiter, seemingly anyone will be served with a database of Ukrainian people that fled and are looking for work.
The ID/Contact/Location data of these people could well be used to target them for whatever nefarious reasons.
Wouldn't it be safer if the recruiters just published their job offers?

I might be cynical but this seems like marketing for their company more than humanitarian effort.
We should help them to get back their homes and country.
They are not immigrating, they are fleeing.
But if we can give people work that they can continue when they return home, then it would be good probably.
