We are a purpose driven HR tech startup on a mission to redefine the relocation We are a purpose-driven HR tech scale-up on a mission to redefine the relocation experience for the new generation. We believe everyone deserves to feel at home, no matter where you come from, what you earn, or how long you’re staying.
Diversity & Inclusion is our DNA and the foundation of what we do and why. In our first year of operation, we were named top 200 inspiring diverse start-ups by Techleap. In our second year of operation, we successfully expanded to our first international market (UK). In our third year we added 5 more international markets to our portfolio, and we were recognized by Sifted as one of the 8 bootstrapped start-ups in Europe to watch, and we are only half way :)
We work with some of the coolest start-ups, scale-ups and publicly listed companies in the world, and help their employees relocate in a hassle-free way through our platform and amazing client success team. We are now ready to scale up our product operations and expand our presence across borders and are looking for a Director of Social Equity/ Foundation Lead to join us on our mission.
