Published on December 30, 2022

Digital transformation and strategic change company Nortal, the mother company of pwrteams, starts operations in the Ukrainian and Polish market, following its acquisition of Skelia, an international leader in building cross-border IT organizations. Nortal will start operating through Skelia’s former offices in Kyiv and Lviv, and Krakow while uniting current Skelia’s employees with its global talent pool.

Kadi Tamkõrv, Head of People & Culture at Nortal, said that Ukraine and Poland have been on Nortal’s radar for a long time for its highly skilled tech talent and convenient geographical location that allows to seamlessly deliver to European, Canadian and U.S customers.

“For a global digital powerhouse like Nortal, it’s highly valuable that Poland boasts a business-friendly environment with availability of highly qualified staff, approach to work, geographic proximity and similarity of time zones to major IT hubs in Europe. Meanwhile, Ukrainian IT industry is mature, making it resilient and offering a vast talent pool with various expertise. While some companies are ramping down their operations in Ukraine, we believe that by building on Skelia’s great employer branding legacy and establishing Nortal on the labor market, we are in a stronger position to create international development opportunities for the local talent”

All Skelia’s 350 employees will continue to enjoy all the previous advantages granted by Skelia, while receiving the additional benefits offered by Nortal such as rich learning opportunities, a global relocation program, extended career paths in Nortal Group and more.

Patrik Vandewalle, CEO and co-founder at Skelia said that rebranding Skelia’s offices to Nortal Ukraine and Nortal Poland mark an important milestone in becoming a part of the global Nortal community that stretches across 24 locations in North America, Estonia, Finland, Germany, UK, Ukraine, Poland,United Arabs Emirates, and Oman. To support its continued global customer demand and ambitious growth plans, Nortal Poland and Ukraine are looking for over 50 IT professionals to join the company in the coming months.

Nortal decided to change the employer brand name from Skelia to Nortal during these difficult times in Ukraine to integrate ex-Skelians in Nortal better, so the company could better support new colleagues with additional opportunities. Also, it allows Nortal to better engage in CSR projects in Ukraine.

“Changing our employer brand to Nortal hasn’t taken away anything that our employees used to value in Skelia, but only enriched it with a broader offering. Furthermore, Nortal has dedicated a special fund to support Ukraine in these difficult times, which is highly valued by our colleagues,”
