At the same time, BCR supports Ukrainian refugees through financial support for humanitarian actions, logistics and spaces available for authorities and dedicated financial services with no cost, including exchange services.

The Jobs for Ukraine platform was developed with the help of tech partners Druid AI, Microsoft and EY Romania and it represents an initiative for Ukrainian citizens who will remain on the territory of Romania for mid to long term and are looking for a job.

The Jobs for Ukraine platform is available here.

The platform has a simplified sign-up process, for both the employer and the employees, which requires three steps: creating an account, filling a profile (for employees)/ adding a job (for companies), the possibility of applying to available jobs or contacting a candidate, for those recruiting.
