DEV.BG Job Board offers Ukrainian IT specialists access to the Bulgarian tech market

With the start of the COVID pandemic, the rules of the working space changed – we saw the emergence of hybrid models, fully remote-jobs, and agile solutions for every employee in the tech sector. Now, in the reality of war times we live in, all the countries worldwide are forced to reevaluate their policies and actively contribute to ensuring a better future not only for their own people but also for the conflict-affected population.

In the current situation, many Ukrainian colleagues are looking for jobs and a safer working environment outside their country. We, at DEV.BG, realize our value in assisting foreign specialists to grow their careers, as well as our responsibility to the Ukrainian professionals willing to live and work in Bulgaria. Hence, our company is committed to supporting the process of integrating all tech professionals from Ukraine into the growing Bulgarian tech sector.

One hub for the entire Bulgarian IT community

Starting as a small, but promising IT community in 2016, DEV.BG developed quickly to one of the leading technological job boards in Bulgaria. The company provides a unique platform that connects IT professionals with tech companies and serves as an incubator for exchanging ideas, stories, experiences, and possibilities. Acting as a connector and builder of the local tech ecosystem, DEV.BG aspires to help innovative organizations to attract the best talents by supporting them with a vast array of services such as recruitment, employer branding, media, advertising, etc.

After receiving a widely positive response from the local market for its initiatives, DEV.BG evolved into a tech job board that aims to reinforce the development of Bulgaria’s IT talents. Currently, among the company’s clients are tech giants such as Uber, Accenture, Gameloft, HP, DXC Technology, SAP, and many more. More than 30 000 experts, or half of the entire tech ecosystem in the country (60 000 professionals), are members of the platform’s network. Now, we are happy to introduce this network to Ukraine’s top tech talent, offering help wherever needed.

The flourishing IT sector in Bulgaria

The development of the Bulgarian tech sector for the past 10 years has been exponential, and this has been proven by many credible industry sources. DEV.BG has conducted various market research efforts to bring relevant, useful data to one accessible source – our website.
We had the opportunity to meet and talk with leading CEOs and executives from the sector, who confirmed the ever-growing industry trend and increasing job opportunities in the sector.

“My dream is that in 10 years Bulgaria will have established itself as the epicenter of information technology in Eastern Europe. To do this, the state needs to recognize the technology sector as a strategically important one and actively support it. To make the necessary changes in the education system in order to feed the labor market as a well-functioning production line”, shared with us Svetozar Georgiev, Co-Founder, Telerik Academy.

Svetozar is one of the successful entrepreneurs in Bulgaria, contributing to shaping the course of development of the entire technology sector in Bulgaria.

A report by the World Economic Forum states that in 2015 Bulgaria has ranked 54th in the world (out of 144 countries) regarding competitiveness in the IT sector and has improved its score ever since. Тhe country outperforms a number of other EU member states, like Romania, Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, and Greece. Global leaders in the industry such as HP, IBM, SAP, VMWare, Adecco, and others, have chosen Bulgaria mainly because of the access to talents and the industry indicators of the fastest-growing ICT sector in Eastern Europe.

Another study by the Bulgarian Association of Software Companies (BASSCOM) confirms that during 2020-21 the sector marked a 10% growth in revenues despite COVID-19, compared to the country’s 5,5% drop in GDP. More than 60 international software brands have opened offices in the Bulgarian market.

Moreover, as a member of the European Union, Bulgaria has a stable, steady democratic system, able to successfully attract foreign investments. With its competitive labor cost and highly-educated workforce, the country boasts an incredible amount of well-versed and talented IT specialists.
