In this episode of the SAATKORN Podcast, I’m talking to Przemek Gacek, Founder & CEO of Grupa Pracuj – Poland’s leading HR tech company and one of Central and Eastern Europe’s most successful digital business stories. Starting with an online job platform in 2000, Przemek has built a publicly listed HR technology group with operations across Poland, Ukraine and Germany. One quote that really stuck with me: “Be agile, be curious, learn, adapt, shape sometimes. We don’t know what’s going to happen in four years.”
Among other topics, we spoke about:
🇵🇱 Why Poland has become one of Europe’s most exciting HR tech markets
Przemek explains how entrepreneurship, digitalization and decades of economic growth have transformed Poland into an innovation hotspot with enormous momentum.
🇺🇦 What Ukraine teaches us about resilience
Despite the ongoing war, Ukraine’s labor market remains surprisingly dynamic. Przemek shares why recruitment demand is booming and why he believes the country’s future offers huge opportunities.
🤖 Why AI won’t replace HR platforms overnight
AI is changing recruitment software at incredible speed—but trust, high-quality data and strong customer relationships remain decisive competitive advantages for established HR tech providers.
