Livatek

Hi Denis,

Thank you for having shown interest in working in our company — and for taking the time to come for an interview!

I live in Ukraine for more than 10 years. Livatek is my company. And from the start, I have wanted Livatek to be a company where I would myself enjoy being an employee.

When my colleagues asked you questions that felt too personal to you, it was to get to know you — as an individual person. If you felt, we did not respect your privacy, you should have raised your hand and asked why we are asking such questions?

You would have been told that Livatek is a company of living people working together. Having parties together. Making beer together. And when you spend almost 50% of your awake hours together, it really matters what and whom you will meet when you come to work.

I respect your point of view. And I am really sorry, if you felt that questions were too intimate. Your comments caused immediate discussion but we are probably not going to change much. Because, we need to know the person inside.

Thanks for sharing your experience! And for giving me this opportunity to share how we think and are!

Of course questions were too invasive.
I’d like to know more to confirm whether most of them are allowed accordingly to German labour law or not.
What about Ukraine — questions considered to be on the verge or unpleasant and weird by community, haven’t heard anything similar for 10 years as I mentioned before.

Thank you for sharing your vision and nature of reasons to know the person inside at work and set the bounds.
