How Typeform Simplified International Talent Relocation with Jobbatical

The Situation

A Growing International Team, Data managed Through Emails

International hiring has been part of Typeform's DNA from day one. As a company built around flexibility and adaptability, Typeform has long recognized that a diverse, international team isn't just a values statement , it's a competitive advantage, giving the People Ops team access to a broader, deeper talent pool.

But every cross-border hire comes with an operational reality most HR teams underestimate: the relocation process behind the offer letter. Visa applications, documentation, and deadlines all had to be tracked manually and without a dedicated system, that tracking lived almost entirely in long, fragmented email threads.

Learn how the right global mobility services turn international hiring into a lasting competitive advantage, and see how the right immigration setup for startups and small businesses lets growing teams tap a broader talent pool from day one.

The Trigger

When Relocation Ran on Endless Email Threads: Typeform

As Typeform's international hiring grew, so did the administrative weight behind every cross-border hire. Each new relocation meant fresh visa applications, new documentation, and another set of deadlines all stacked on top of a People Operations team already stretched across strategic HR priorities.

The root cause wasn't the complexity of immigration itself. It was structural: every case ran through long, scattered email threads with no single dashboard or overview to track visa statuses, documents, and deadlines across employees.

Understand how a unified global immigration platform creates a single source of truth for visa statuses and deadlines, and how the right relocation partner removes the administrative weight behind every cross-border hire.

The Barrier

Why an Email-Driven Process Doesn't Scale : Typeform

Running relocation through email works until it doesn't. As case volume grew, Typeform People Ops team lost the one thing every cross-border hire depends on: a clear, shared view of where each case stood.

Documents, visa statuses, and deadlines lived across dozens of threads, and candidates were often left guessing about their own next steps. Without a centralized system and a named point of contact, gaps went unnoticed until they became problems.

See how Jobbatical's smart immigration platform closes the visibility gaps that email threads create, and how solutions for global mobility managers keep both HR teams and candidates informed at every stage.

The Solution

One Dashboard, One Dedicated Global Mobility Manager: Typeform

Jobbatical paired Typeform with a dedicated Global Mobility Manager and a single dashboard consolidating every employee case, visa status, and document in one place.
Instead of chasing information across inboxes, the People Ops team gained a named point of contact available around the clock, proactive communication that kept candidates informed at every stage, and hands-on, empathetic case management in place of ad hoc email coordination.
