Why your most important vacancies stay open — and how to fix it
A free guide by Vadym Lobariev — 20 years filling critical roles across Ukraine and Europe
The problem
You post the job. You wait. You get applicants — mostly irrelevant. The promising ones disappear, accept another offer, or get a counter-offer at the last minute.
Meanwhile the role stays open. Your team is stretched. Projects slip.
This isn't bad luck. It's a predictable pattern with a predictable fix.
I've spent 20 years filling exactly these roles — the ones companies couldn't fill themselves. Here's what I learned.

What's in the guide
Why job boards reach only 15% of the talent pool
When you post a vacancy, you're invisible to the 85% of employed, high-performing candidates who aren't actively looking. Here's how to reach them.
How to source candidates in half the time
Manual sourcing on LinkedIn is slow and mechanical. The right tools flip the ratio — more time on human conversations, less time on research.
How to stop candidates dropping out at the final stage
Counter-offers. Competing offers. Cold feet. Three specific reasons this happens — and how to prevent each one from the very first conversation.
How to structure interviews that actually work
Most interviews confirm the candidate can talk. This framework identifies whether they can actually do the job.

About Vadym
I started recruiting in 2005 at a local agency in Odesa. Then a global executive search firm in Kyiv. Then back to executive search across Europe.
For 20 years I've filled the roles clients couldn't fill themselves — rare specialists, heads of departments, C-level positions. The vacancies that stay open for months when handled the wrong way.
This guide is the system I use. If it resonates — I'd be glad to apply it to your specific vacancies.
