Start Date Risk

When hiring international talent, the employee’s start date is critical. Immigration processing times, approvals, and local compliance requirements can all impact when a new hire can legally begin work. Jobbatical’s Start Date Risk indicator gives employers early visibility into these risks, helping you anticipate delays and protect onboarding plans, project timelines, and team momentum.

I feel like the platform made the relocation process easier for me. I appreciate that I could pay less attention to paperwork and not have to search for information about what documents are needed and how to submit them. I like that the relocation agents answered my questions, and I was not alone in this process. The platform is user-friendly, and I believe it saved my time. I have no negative emotions about communicating with agents. Unfortunately, my case is really sad, as I had to wait a very long time and send additional documents several times without understanding what was happening. I have no idea why this happened. I don’t even know if it was some kind of mistake on my part or if the authorities simply failed or did their job poorly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Start Date Risk Indicator and how does it work?

The Start Date Risk Indicator is a proactive tool that evaluates your planned employee start date against real-time, country-specific immigration processing timelines (including current backlogs, seasonal trends, and authority data). It assigns a clear risk level (low, medium, or high) and displays alerts across the Jobbatical dashboard and individual case pages, helping HR teams spot potential delays early.

‍

Where can I see the Start Date Risk alerts on the platform?

Risk indicators appear in multiple places for maximum visibility:

  • A dedicated “Start Date Risk” widget on the main dashboard highlights at-risk cases at a glance.
  • On the Cases list overview, risk status is shown for every active relocation.
  • Inside individual case details, the target start date is highlighted in red if delayed, with quick action options.

‍

Why is this feature critical for HR and global mobility teams?

A delayed start date can disrupt onboarding, delay project timelines, increase interim staffing costs, harm candidate experience, and affect internal reporting. In competitive talent markets where candidates have multiple offers, early risk visibility lets you protect budgets, maintain hiring velocity, avoid awkward rescheduling conversations, and keep global recruitment predictable and reliable.
