March 11, 2023 If you are thinking of recruiting professionals abroad, there are five essential “roles” in the complex and bureaucratic relocation process. Jobbatical, a technological platform that manages the allocation of talent to high-growth companies, made the list. First of all, it is important to ensure that the future employee has a series of valid personal documents, such as a passport or driving license, which, incidentally, may not be recognized in other countries. Then, the first and most important step even before starting the talent reallocation process is to ensure that the employment contract is finalized. Does it seem obvious? Yes, but it is the basis of everything and without it nothing progresses. Next is the work visa and here it must be taken into account that the requirements for it vary from country to country. In some cases, underlines Jobbatical, it is necessary to present medical examinations or even a criminal record. In addition, in cases where the professional is accompanied by the family, marriage certificates and children’s birth certificates are also documents to consider, he adds. After the necessary family documentation for applying for a work visa, there are other factors to take into account. If the worker has children, it is important to plan the school situation in the new country and, if there are pets, it is necessary to ensure that they have the necessary documents for their transition, he exemplifies. Insurance is another aspect. There are several types and some are essential in the process of relocating talent, such as health insurance, he points out, signaling that, in order to prevent any accidents in the process of relocating workers and their families, it is also advisable to have travel and assets. “Global mobility defines the current labor market and presents relevant benefits both for companies, which have the possibility of expanding internationally and attracting the best talent, without geographic restrictions, as well as for workers who, in this way, find the doors open to the world”, but “relocation processes are complex and the associated bureaucracy is so challenging that it may end up pushing some companies away from this decision”, says Jobbatical. “The bureaucracy inherent to the reallocation of talent can be a heavy burden for some companies. Each process is different, both in terms of cost and duration”, reinforces the company, which guarantees to facilitate the movement of talent from one country to another. The platform claims, moreover, to be able to “make the process twice as fast and three times as economical, automating the most time-consuming tasks”. Founded in 2014 as an international recruitment platform by Karoli and Ronald Hindriks and later joined by Ankur Agarwal, the company refocused its business in 2019 to focus on relocation and immigration services after recognizing the challenges of hiring global, says the company itself, in a statement sent to newsrooms. Jobbatical has raised over €20 million from investors such as Inventure, Union Square Ventures, Swiss Post Ventures, Karma VC, Metaplanet and Devotion Ventures, as well as numerous other investors. *The article has been translated based on the content of Jornal de Negócios by www.jornaldenegocios.pt .
