"Recruiting our own" program by Credit Agricole commended at the HR-brand 2023 award

The "Recruiting our own" program by Credit Agricole has won in the "Non-standard recruiting" category. The award ceremony was held as part of the HR Brand Ukraine 2023 Award. In total, more than 60 successful HR projects were nominated by 56 Ukrainian companies from various industries, such as IT, finance, agribusiness, retail, etc.

"Recruiting our own" is our answer to recruiting challenges in the wartime. This project enabled us to provide the bank with the necessary manpower during the war. To achieve this goal, we nourished and cultivated the internal labor market, using traditional external recruitment tools and a great deal of our own creativity. Today, it has become a separate part of our recruiting strategy, within which we focus on the development of employees and the possibilities of their transition to new positions," commented Olena Urusova, HR Director at Credit Agricole.

"We launched this project at the beginning of the full-scale invasion. I am grateful to all the colleagues who took part in the preparation and implementation of the new strategy. The HR team has done monumental work in the short time frame starting with the idea and analytics and proceeding with exploring recruiting tools, training, internal communications, etc. We are delighted that our efforts resulted in an opportunity to be useful in these trying times", said Yuliia Minchenko, head of the Recruitment and Adaptation Division at Credit Agricole.

The HR-brand Ukraine 2023 Award is a prestigious award in Ukraine commending the most successful projects in the field of human capital, reputation and image management of companies as employers that was established in 2011 and aimed at recognising the best HR management projects.
