The specialized resource DOU has compiled a rating of the top 50 largest Ukrainian IT companies in the first half of 2024. It was not the best period for the Ukrainian IT industry, which continues to lose specialists.

In the first half of the year, the number of employees in Ukraine’s 50 largest IT companies decreased by 2.4 thousand, or 2.9%, compared to the same period last year. There are several reasons for this. One of them is that Ukrainian specialists go abroad and are legalized in other countries. There is also a decrease in the number of active projects. At the same time, specialists who have been on the bench for a long time are leaving. Some companies have faced downsizing and reorganization.

As a result of all these changes, the total number of specialists in the 50 largest IT companies in Ukraine has decreased to 79.4 thousand. We are talking about IT professionals who are in Ukraine or have moved abroad but pay taxes in Ukraine.
