Ukrainians love adding “manager” to the name of vacancies that only include managing oneself to achieve a result. Sometimes it’s not clear from the ad what the job actually entails, whether the person is going to be leading a team or have subordinates. Many “sales managers” and “advertising managers” are actually just managing ads or selling products or services, not leading a team.

At the time of publication, 27,544 vacancies in Kiev had been listed on the portal.
