The practical, financial and emotional difficulties of being a refugee are unfathomable. But for the millions of people who have fled Ukraine since Russia invaded, one obstacle may be somewhat easier to tackle in the coming months: Making a living.

Businesses and organizations from all over are creating free online jobs boards, and other hiring and training resources, to connect displaced Ukrainians seeking work with employers looking to hire them.

"[Ukrainians have] been part of the East European workforce for a long time. They're a very attractive and skilled workforce," said Jonas Prising, CEO of international staffing firm Manpower, which is creating country-specific, Ukrainian-language jobs sites.Manpower has found that employers are more willing to hire people who may not have all the requisite skills for a job but who can be trained.

Adecco also has set up a free jobs portal in Ukrainian and English for refugees and employers to use. Within just days of launching it, there have been 1,000 applicants and 500 employers that have signed on, said Jerick Develle, Adecco's senior vice president in charge of crisis response. More broadly, Randstad recently launched a Ukrainian edition of its jobs portal, with links to its country-specific jobs sites written in Ukrainian for refugees who have landed in Belgium, the Czech Republic, Germany, Poland, Portugal and Spain.Those seeking tech jobs, marketing and other remote-friendly work may find opportunities on RemoteUkraine.

Omelchenko, who is living in Ukraine and can't leave the country in case he gets called up to fight, has been working on the site largely from his bathtub, where he, along with his wife and cat, take refuge when the air raid sirens go off. Those sirens occur four or five times a day, he said, and each lasts anywhere from 20 minutes to several hours.
