Online jobs and entry-level positions: the most sought-after job openings among Ukrainians in 2025
19 January 20:33
In 2025, the fiercest competition in Ukraine’s labor market was not centered on high-paying or in-demand professions, but rather in fields with low entry barriers, flexible schedules, and the option to work remotely. This is evidenced by data from a study by the OLX Robota platform, which analyzed the number of responses per job posting as an indicator of actual demand from job seekers, reports "Komersant Ukrainian".
Where competition was highest
In 2025, job openings in advertising, design, and PR were the absolute leaders in terms of the number of responses. On average, a single ad in this sector received 83 responses—the highest figure among all professions. At the same time, the median salary in this category was 17,500 UAH, indicating that high interest does not always correlate with high pay.
In second place is online store manager. Each job posting received an average of 70 applications, and the median salary was 19,000 UAH. Such positions often involve remote work and do not require specialized education, making them particularly attractive.
Copywriting took third place, with 64 responses per posting. At the same time, the pay level here differs significantly from traditional job openings: the median salary was only 1,000 UAH and typically depended on the project or the number of hours worked.
Who else made the top five
Fourth place in terms of competition went to chat operators—60 responses per job posting. The median salary in this category reached 17,500 UAH.
Rounding out the top five is the “Early Career / Students” category: 59 applications per posting with a median salary of 16,750 UAH. These are the positions that often serve as an entry point into the job market for young people and those without experience.
In addition to the top-ranked positions, high competition in 2025 was also observed in a number of other professions:
- customer service manager — 45 responses, median salary of 20,000 UAH;
- packer — 44 reviews, 20,000 UAH;
- PC operator — 42 reviews, 18,500 UAH;
- promoter — 41 reviews, 674 UAH (often hourly or daily pay);
- Content manager and SMM manager — 41 reviews each, median salary 15,000 UAH;
- Model — 36 reviews, 1,750 UAH depending on workload;
