“100 candidates for one IT vacancy in the army”. Lobby X on the mobilization of Haitians
Lobby X talked about mobilization for IT positions
Hundreds of people have already been placed in IT specialties in the army thanks to the agreement between the Ministry of Defense and the Lobby X agency regarding the project of recruiting for the Armed Forces.
But many are concerned about the guarantee of such employment. In particular, can a person who responded to an IT vacancy be transferred to another specialty. Olga Bandrivska, head of the military department of Lobby X, answered this question in an interview with DOU.
According to her, the agency guarantees that the candidate will get into the department and the position for which he himself applied, but there is a nuance. “We cannot guarantee against a change of roles in the future. No one knows how the events at the front will turn out in a certain time,” added Olga.
Infantry instead of programming
The manager commented on the possibility of a scenario where a person is recruited as a programmer and then sent to the infantry. She assured that the agency is not aware of any such case. And if this happened, the team would intervene and help.
“This is, to say the least, not logical. If the unit is looking for a narrow specialist, then this is not a “lure” for the infantry. This means that there is a need for narrow specialists in the unit and for them there are tasks that require a specific level of qualification. For those willing to serve in the infantry, there is a wide selection of infantry positions in various units,” explained Olga.
In addition, Lobby X inspects units and conducts briefings on how the selection process should proceed. Also, the “employer” undertakes to mobilize a person for the position to which he invites. And if the agency finds out about a bad reputation, it refuses to cooperate.
“We are about honesty and humanity. We don't care where we send people, to which units,” Bandrivska assured.
How many people got IT positions in the army
Olga said that this is confidential information, but clarified that there are hundreds of such people.
“It is also worth noting that vacancies in IT specialties are the most popular among candidates. On average, 100 candidates apply for one IT vacancy in the army ,” she added.
What is known about recruiting to the Armed Forces
On November 13, the Ministry of Defense announced the launch of recruiting for the Armed Forces and the signing of the first agreement within the project. The ministry then entered into a contract with Lobby X. And recently, the Work.ua job search site joined the project.
Those willing to mobilize should respond to a vacancy in a specific unit on the agency's website and undergo an interview. Then everything depends on the military.
