Jobbatical vs IRC Relocation
Both providers help employees settle into a new country. IRC Relocation delivers consultant-led destination services across German cities, while Jobbatical runs immigration and relocation on one platform built for programs that span multiple markets.
Destination services solve one move. Programs need operational ownership.
Finding an apartment and booking an embassy appointment is one part of relocation. HR teams running international hiring need immigration, logistics and reporting held together across every case and every country, not a package assembled per city.

Compare what shapes day-to-day HR workload, not just the list of services on offer.
From visa to renewal, track every step, manage documents, and stay ahead of deadlines, without switching tools or chasing updates.
Consultants deliver individual moves. Jobbatical's platform runs the whole program.
Both approaches get employees settled. The difference is whether each relocation is assembled locally by a consultant or run through one system that holds every case, country and deadline together as the program grows.
