The state specialized commercial enterprise "Lysy Ukrainy" will pay 1,92 million UAH to a company that will search for and select candidates for the position of general director. This was reported by Hlavkom citing the Prozorro system.
On 5 August, "Lysy Ukrainy" ordered recruitment services from Talent Advisors LLC as a result of the tender. The work must be completed within 2026 year.
The process of finding a new leader will consist of several stages. First, the company must prepare the documentation for conducting the selection, which the supervisory board will approve. This concerns the job profile, the conditions for holding the competitive selection, and the candidate evaluation matrix. 384 thousand UAH is allocated for this stage.
After that, the recruiters will form and agree with the supervisory board on a list of five to ten potential candidates. They must also assess the candidates' professional suitability, competencies, experience, and motivation. These services will cost 768 thousand UAH.
An additional 768 thousand UAH is allocated for accompanying the procedure until the selection is completed. The company will organize candidate interviews with the supervisory board, provide recommendations regarding their selection, and consult during the selection process.
Services will be paid within ten working days after their acceptance. The more expensive competitor to Talent Advisors LLC in the tender was Executive Search Ukraine LLC. The savings as a result of the procurement amounted to 20%.
Until recently, the general director of "Lysy Ukrainy" was Yurii Bolokhovets. Currently, the duties of the director are performed by Ihor Zubovych, chair of the commission on transforming the state enterprise into a joint-stock company.
The Kyiv company Talent Advisors is owned by Anna Kuzenkova and Oleksii Komlichenko and is part of the international group Odgers Berndtson. Previously the company's co-founder was also Nadiia Horb.
At one time Komlichenko, together with Roman Bondar and Ruslan Hromovyuk, owned KLV R LLC. That company, now called Odgers Berndtson Ukraine, is currently owned by Talent Advisors itself.
Komlichenko also headed the commission at the Committee on the Appointment of Heads of Enterprises of Special Importance to the Economy, which conducted the competitive selection for the head of the state enterprise Ukrposhta. Before founding Talent Advisors he led the HR department of the investment company Concorde Capital, and earlier worked at XXI Century Investments.
Overall, since 2017 Talent Advisors has received government contracts worth 56,03 million UAH. In particular, in 2022 Naftogaz of Ukraine ordered the selection of candidates for senior executive positions from the company for 9,41 million UAH.
Other state clients of the company included Gas Distribution Networks of Ukraine, the Operator of the Gas Transmission System of Ukraine, Ukrhydroenergo, Main Gas Pipelines of Ukraine, Ukrnafta, Ukrzaliznytsia, Ukrgasbank, and Ukreximbank.
"Lysy Ukrainy" has already used the company's services. In 2024 the enterprise ordered the selection of candidates for independent members of the supervisory board from them for 1,46 million UAH.
Recall that the former general director of the state enterprise "Lysy Ukrainy", and previously head of the State Agency of Forest Resources, Yurii Bolokhovets received 7,68 million UAH in bonuses in his last month in office.
In June 2026 Bolokhovets was paid a total of 9,2 million UAH. Of that sum, 7,68 million UAH was a bonus "for achieving performance indicators." A further 651 thousand UAH was paid as compensation for unused vacation. After taxes, the former head of the state enterprise received 7,1 million UAH in hand.
