In an interview with Katarzyna Dębek and Mikołaj Kunica, published in Forbes and Business Insider as part of the “Power of Peers” series, Andrzej Korkus shares how a deeply personal story evolved into over two decades of commitment to legal and sustainable labour migration.
A visit to his grandfather’s hometown near Lviv marked more than just a growing fascination with the East. For Andrzej Korkus – founder of EWL Group – that moment transformed migration from an academic subject into a personal experience. It became the spark that ignited the mission to build bridges between people – regardless of borders.
In the interview, Korkus reflects on how that moment shaped the creation of an organisation dedicated to connecting workers and employers across Europe in a responsible and future-oriented way.
“The best thing you can do for someone on the move is to help them find a job that matches their skills, experience and ambitions,” says the EWL Group CEO. That perfect match doesn’t just transform a single life. It creates tangible value for companies that gain committed employees, and for economies that benefit from their potential.
Today, EWL is much more than a recruitment agency. It is an organisation that connects people with opportunity – and business with social responsibility. We believe migration can be a win–win process, as long as it is accompanied by knowledge, empathy, and integrity.
