Oursourcing in Ukraine Market Study

Alex — Sun, 17 Jun 2007 18:07:12 +0000

GOAL produced a Outsourcing Industry in Ukraine 2007 study.

A lot of general information, completely useless for those who can use Wikipedia and Google News, yet good as a summary
A lot of copy-paste from external sources and within the document
Adequate salary data from developers.org.ua

Verdict: worth reading for those who have no idea about outsourcing in Ukraine or Ukraine as a country; otherwise request analysis directly from Ukrainian Community of Developers or a recruiting agency.
