Workwide works with companies who need multilingual talent such as you all around Europe and sometimes beyond Europe. You can find Customer Service, Sales, Communication, Marketing and Tourism roles and many more! We have both entry level jobs and more senior roles. We mostly work with large, global companies but sometimes we have opportunities in startups and mid-sized companies too. Most of our clients come from the Business Services Sector, the iGaming industry and from the technology industry more broadly. Companies we’re currently working with or have previously worked with includes Apple, Mercedes-Benz, Klarna, Netflix, Lufthansa and Bet365.

For most jobs you will need to be able to communicate in two languages, English and German. Your English levels doesn’t have to be amazing but most of the time must be good enough to communicate with your colleagues socially. You may not see yourself as a language talent, but your native German language is a big competitive advantage!

One of the main reason our clients are recruiting people from abroad is that they need new team members that speak specific languages. Most of the time, your daily work will be conducted in your native language while internal office communication will be in English.

If you do speak more languages, you will of course be in even higher demand for employers.

If not stated otherwise in the job description, our clients offer full-time contracts which usually means 35-40 working hours per week, depending on local regulations. These hours may be set within normal office hours Monday-Friday or in rotational shifts all throughout the week. The shift structure depends on the role and will require flexibility from you to be able to work evenings and/or weekends.

If you apply with Workwide Recruit, we always inform you about the working hours, potential shift requirement and anything else related to the specific job that you applied for during our initial call.

Your future employer will provide you with an initial training period to get you up to speed on the work and your new workplace. You will, in most cases, be in a team of others who also just joined the company from abroad and therefore also be naturally introduced to your new colleagues. Some of our clients will have training in your native language while others offer their training in English. The length of the introductory training period differs per job and employer but tends to be between 1-4 weeks, with some exceptions.

All of our clients' introductions are either fully or partially paid.

Yes, all our jobs require you to move to the country where the employer’s office is located. Our mission is to help you find a job abroad and experience new countries.

If you are wondering about how to go about when moving to a new country we have an extensive collection of country guides and articles in our Blog section. Make sure to check them out or get in contact with us!

If you are worried about accommodation, we suggest our Apartment page where we have apartments all over the world from vetted landlords and secure payments.

Many of the companies we partner with do also offer a relocation package.

Many companies we partner with offer a relocation package. This means they will help you with your move, either financially or logistically, or even both. The extent of the relocation support varies from employer to employer. But usual perks are paid flight tickets, paid accommodation for first couple of weeks and practical help with any bureaucratic issues. The employers are used to welcome expats and know which parts of the process can be challenging and will stand by your side.

Our clients' policies regarding overtime and compensation as well as periods for notice and probation are defined by the law of the country where the company is located. Notice and probation periods are normally defined in the employment contract. We always do our best to inform you about this, however, we strongly recommend that you bring these questions up directly with your future employer.

Due to contract regulations with our client and the lengthy Visa processes involved, we can only proceed with candidates that hold a valid EU/EEA Citizenship or working permit for the country in question. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope you understand.

For jobs outside of the EU, regulations may be different and local legislation determine Visa regulations.

Typically, employers are looking for candidates who are available within 1-3 months. However, we recommend you to apply anyway, as many employers have more starting dates or other projects that could be interesting to you. You can also create an account where you can enter your possible starting date. This way, we can get in touch with you when the starting date approaches!

All of the jobs we promote at Workwide offer a standard market or above-market salary. However, a sufficient salary will always depend on your lifestyle and standards. We always recommend that you review the average national salary, average national salary for your role as well as the differences in living costs in your current vs new location to give you the best picture.

La maggior parte dei datori di lavoro vuole che tu rimanga con la società per almeno 6-9 mesi. Nonostante ciò, ci sono sempre delle eccezioni! Nel periodo estivo di solito ci sono lavori stagionali in cui si può lavorare per 4-9 mesi. Non esitare a contattarci per discutere le tue opzioni!

No, purtroppo tutti i datori di lavoro con cui lavoriamo richiedono un'età minima di 18 anni. Compirai presto 18 anni? Allora la tua candidatura è benvenuta! Possiamo già iniziare il processo e parlare con te. Dovrai avere 18 anni solo quando firmerai il contratto con il tuo datore di lavoro.

If your new employer offers accommodation as part of your relocation package they normally book a hotel room or arrange shared corporate accommodation with other newly hired colleagues where you’ll get your separate bedroom and share kitchen, bathroom and living room with your roommates.

Yes, if the company does not offer any support with this you need to start looking for accommodation yourself. We are happy to be able to provide you with our apartment page. Here you can find apartments and rooms all over the world from vetted landlords with secure payments.

Another tip is to look into Facebook groups for expats already working and living in your new location and ask them for guidance on where to start looking. Feel free to reach out to us if you need inspiration or suggestions.

Yes, always be prepared to pay and book a flight ticket that aligns with your starting date. Some employers will offer reimbursement for this at a later stage.

For some of our youngest candidates, this might be the first time living alone. After talking to candidates and based on our own experiences, the most common expenses are utilities (such as electricity, water, internet, phone, gas), insurance, groceries, clothes, transport, healthcare, sports (gym), leisure (restaurants, cinema, travel) and clothing.

To get an indication of the cost of living, please check our job ads and country guides. You can also visit Numbeo.com where you will find user-generated cost of living data.

Yes, however, the amount depends on your individual situation, the location, and the relocation package you might get with your new job. As a general rule, moving to a new country and into a new apartment have costs such as first rent (and deposit), furniture, appliances, gear, public transport, phone subscription, food and more.

It’s also important that you keep in mind some unexpected costs you might face during your first month.

Travel insurance usually covers expenses of a short trip or stay in a foreign country. As you are moving abroad for work, normal travel insurances will only cover your relocation and most likely not be eligible during your entire stay. In order to get one that covers you for a longer time, you can contact your current insurance provider to explore alternatives.

Keep in mind that most travel insurances have limitations in connection to pandemics, we recommend always checking your current insurance details before making an assumption.

As employers are offering local working contracts you will within the EU be required to register within 90 days. This means you will be integrated into the local system and pay income tax in your new country. This income will not be subject to taxation in your home country.

Puoi sempre contattarci all'indirizzo info@workwide.it oppure chiamarci al numero +46 54 22 44 440. Oppure puoi candidarti a una delle nostre offerte di lavoro e potremo rispondere a tutte le tue domande durante la nostra telefonata!

Ci sono alcune cose da considerare prima di partire. È importante mettere da parte i soldi per il primo mese all'estero, fino a quando non riceverai la prima busta paga. La maggior parte dei datori di lavoro ti aiuterà a sbrigare le operazioni amministrative, i biglietti aerei e l'alloggio iniziale. Non preoccuparti, durante il processo di assunzione ti diremo tutto quello che il tuo datore di lavoro organizzerà per te e di cui dovrai occuparti. Saremo sempre al tuo fianco!

First, we look forward to speaking with you! Typically, our calls will take about 20-30 minutes. The recruiter will introduce the company and position you have applied for. We will ask you about your previous work experience, why you have applied for this job and about your thoughts on relocating in general. We see this as a chance to get to know you and are there to help you. If we think that your profile fits what the company is looking for, we will forward your CV to the employer who then will take over the next steps in the hiring process.

If we have other job opportunities for you and you are interested to learn about them, the recruiters will be presenting those opportunities to you as well.
