DoSpravy rolls out in Ukraine to help companies fill shift worker gaps
Ukrainian companies facing empty shifts have a new option on the table. DoSpravy, a digital staffing platform, has launched to address the shortage of shift workers that has hit retail, logistics, manufacturing, warehousing, gas stations, and hospitality especially hard.
These sectors have struggled to keep operations running smoothly as the labor pool shrinks. The team behind DoSpravy says the platform is meant to close these staffing gaps by letting businesses post open shifts and connect with available workers faster than old-school hiring methods.
Nearly 7 million Ukrainians are currently outside the labor market, and three out of four companies report a shortage of workers.
How DoSpravy targets the staffing crunch
DoSpravy is pitched as an HR-tech ecosystem built for companies that rely on shift work. It focuses on retail, logistics, manufacturing, warehousing, gas stations, and the hotel and restaurant trade. The platform offers two main tools: DoSpravy.Biznes, which lets companies post shifts and manage their own pool of workers, and DoSpravy.Pidrobitok, which helps bring in outside staff for specific jobs or shifts. More details are available in a dev.ua product overview.
The whole process is digital. Companies can flag a need, confirm attendance, and log completed work all in one place. DoSpravy supports iOS and Android apps, a web CRM, supervisor dashboards, and even a Telegram bot for quick updates. So far, though, there are no independent figures on how many companies or workers have signed up, or how well the system is working since launch.
What this means for Ukrainian businesses
For companies in Ukraine's main shift-based industries, DoSpravy could shake up how they handle staffing. Unlike generic job boards, this platform zeroes in on sectors where missed shifts can grind business to a halt. As firms keep running into last-minute staff shortages, DoSpravy promises a faster way to fill those gaps. The real question is whether businesses will jump on board and if the platform can actually move the needle in a market where every filled shift matters.
The labor shortage in Ukraine is deep. The Ministry of Economy wants to bring at least 2 million people back into the workforce by 2030. A recent government report points out that this push is urgent as Ukraine faces ongoing demographic and economic pressure.
In September 2026, the business expectations index in Ukraine stood at 48.2 points, with companies citing a shortage of qualified workers as one of the main factors limiting their activities.
DoSpravy's system tracks external workers' attendance automatically for payroll, but there are still open questions. No independent sources have confirmed how these workers are classified legally, how taxes are handled, or how qualifications are checked. As more businesses look to plug staffing holes with DoSpravy, these compliance and regulatory issues will be front and center for anyone thinking about signing up.
