The company waived or offered to donate the placement fees for Ukrainian hires to charities and had 226 companies in less than two weeks that were interested in learning how they could bring in Ukrainian tech workers and at least a dozen doing interviews.

"It's definitely talent that we need here. We're in a huge talent shortage right now," said Guillaume Bazinet, chief executive of FX Innovation in Montreal.
"In the U.S. alone, there are more than one million open positions for software developers. In Canada, we have 1.3 million developers, and we have hundreds and hundreds of thousands of openings," said AlayaCare's senior vice-president of engineering Jean-Francois Gailleur. "It's more about trying to help those people, if we can help them, and getting them a better life," he said.

No we should help them but also help them be able to go home after the war. We are not Americans who profit from others pain! Ukraine is our brother we will help them build back better.
God bless Russia and Putin
