Jobbatical vs Santa Fe Relocation

Jobbatical runs immigration, relocation and reporting as one case on one platform, so the same team that files the permit also handles the move and the first weeks on the ground. Santa Fe Relocation delivers those through separate service lines and an approved partner network, which suits traditional assignment and household goods programs but adds coordination steps around a single hire.

Yes. Jobbatical handles the permit application, employer filings and local registrations directly, and the employee works with the same case team throughout. HR does not need a local contact in the country to keep the case moving.

Complex cases are the default at Jobbatical rather than an exception. Dependent applications sit on the same case as the employee, renewals are tracked centrally with alerts before deadlines, and start-date risk is flagged while there is still time to adjust the plan.

Both. Jobbatical coordinates housing search, address registration, banking, tax numbers and school questions as part of the same case as the immigration work, rather than opening a separate destination services engagement.

Jobbatical assigns tasks to the people who need to act, chases what is outstanding and surfaces blockers in the dashboard. HR approves and monitors instead of relaying documents between the employee, the immigration side and the relocation side.

Every case shows its current stage, pending documents, upcoming deadlines and open questions in real time, across all countries and entities. Mobility teams can pull program-level reporting without requesting it from an account manager.

That is the core use case. Jobbatical runs the same process and the same platform across markets, so adding a country means adding cases rather than negotiating a new local arrangement and learning a different way of working.

Jobbatical prices against the scope of the mobility program rather than per shipment, per service line or per coordinated vendor, which makes the cost of a hire predictable before the case opens and easier to forecast as volumes grow.

Employees get one contact, one task list and one place to upload documents, in their own language where needed. Families are added to the same case, so dependent permits and school or registration questions do not start a separate process.

Permit validity, renewal windows and reporting obligations stay tracked on the case after arrival, with alerts ahead of each deadline and records kept in one place, so compliance does not depend on someone remembering a date in a spreadsheet.
