Why relokate
We start before the offer letter
Our pre-hire checklist plugs into your recruiting process. By the time the contract is signed, the visa process is already underway.
A dedicated relocation partner
relokate integrates into your hiring process from day one — with document checklists for your talents, pre-screening tools, and a dedicated partner who knows your team.
One dashboard, full visibility
Cases, documents, timelines, and communication in one place. Real-time status updates, realistic start dates, and full cost control.
Transparent pricing
No retainers, no hidden fees, no surprises. An annual software & compliance fee — Compliance Watch included — plus per-case pricing for each relocation.
Attorney escalation if needed
Independent immigration attorneys on standby. If a case gets stuck, they can step in immediately with full context — no expensive handover. Rarely needed, always available.

From offer to start date — one partner, one platform
relokate integrates into your hiring process. One platform, one point of contact, no surprises.
Documents ready before the offer
When you onboard with relokate, we deploy branded document checklists into your hiring workflow. Your talents start preparing documents the moment they enter the pipeline — not after the contract is signed. The biggest bottleneck in immigration is unprepared paperwork. We eliminate it.
Track everything live
Follow every step from your dashboard — document status, authority submissions, appointments, and realistic start dates. No scattered emails, no chasing consultants.
Your talent starts on time
Visa approved, registration complete, onboarding sorted. We know every legal pathway — and if an authority doesn't respond, we have the tools to move things forward.

Not another agency. Not just software.
Traditional agencies give you service without visibility. Global platforms give you software without expertise. relokate gives you both.

Why I started relokate
“I'd seen the same broken process a hundred times.”
After more than ten years in HR, I'd helped relocate dozens of employees to Germany. Every single time, the process was the same: scattered emails, unclear timelines, expensive lawyers, and a candidate waiting to start.
The tools available were either enterprise-only platforms with no human touch, or traditional agencies with no technology. I founded relokate in 2020 to build something better: one partner, one platform, and real expertise in German immigration law — backed by attorneys when things get stuck.
Today, we've handled over 1,500 relocations for companies from Volkswagen to KoRo. Our approach: technology-driven processes combined with a dedicated human partner for every case. No ticket systems. No handovers. Your international talent arrives ready to work.
