Who is Von Peach?
Von Peach is a creative agency based in Switzerland. They work mostly in the pharmaceutical and insurance sectors and specialise in simplifying dry and complex concepts through creative communication and storytelling. With five years of experience, they’ve honed their skills in balancing creativity and compliance to ensure their work meets the highest standards.
Von Peach’s hiring challenge
Von Peach’s teams consist of artistic, innovative people with creative backgrounds. Finding employees who are highly creative and highly professional is rather difficult in the local Swiss market, especially in highly regulated sectors such as pharma or insurance.
“Looking only at the Swiss market for new hires was not an option for us because we wanted to hire the best people and didn’t want to limit ourselves. Even at the time of our inception, we knew that we needed to hire globally.”

One time when they had a surprise audit, their legal team realised that they didn’t have the right systems in place to hire abroad. So they immediately started to look into solutions to hire abroad, making sure they stay compliant when it comes to employee onboarding, payroll, and management.
How Von Peach benefits from hiring abroad with WorkMotion
“WorkMotion takes care of 90% of our admin team’s workload, enabling us to tackle more strategic tasks.”
In just one year, Von Peach has successfully hired over 10 talented individuals from different countries. WorkMotion has been instrumental in making this expansion a reality.
For instance, when they needed to hire a team member in South Africa, they didn’t have to worry about local regulations, payment intricacies, or other administrative hurdles. WorkMotion took care of everything.

"As a founder, my primary focus is on strategic growth, not admin tasks. WorkMotion has been helpful in freeing up my time. It handles the majority of the admin work, allowing me to concentrate on high-level decision-making.”
In Yentl’s words: “The platform is easy to use for both us and our employees. We can get quick answers to our questions. For example, if an employee has been 6 for six months in a different country, what should we do? What are the local regulations? Or it could be specific tax related issues in certain regions. Since none of us are experts in this field, it’s very helpful to have a team that can troubleshoot for us. It’s like having our own personal HR department outside the company.”
“Working with an EOR solution like WorkMotion helps us hire people from anywhere in the world in the right way. Plus, it takes care of all the complicated paperwork and legal stuff, so we don’t have to worry about getting into legal battles.”
“Now, we can focus on what truly matters: finding exceptional talent. WorkMotion handles the heavy lifting, ensuring compliance with local labour laws and regulations. This allows us to dive deep into portfolios, conduct interviews, train new joiners, and build strong relationships with our team members.”
Why Von Peach chose WorkMotion
“Having worked with WorkMotion for a year, we trust them blindly.
When they set out to build their international team, they knew they needed a reliable partner to handle the complex logistics. They scoured the internet, read blogs, consulted with fellow founders, and considered a few options.
Yentl describes WorkMotion in these 3 words:
Easy: The initial process of setting up a new hire is incredibly streamlined. Filling out the necessary forms is simple and straightforward.
Fast: The processing of legal documents is incredibly fast. For example in France or Germany, it only takes around three days, and the documents are in place. The contract is ready to be signed. I don't think this was possible if we were to do it on our own.
Trustworthy: The platform is reliable and user-friendly. Our employees have positive feedback about the experience. WorkMotion is also receptive to client feedback. For example, they addressed issues with time tracking and invoicing promptly. Their commitment to continuous improvement is evident through regular updates and new features.
“What truly set WorkMotion apart was the onboarding call. The meeting was efficient, quick, and incredibly smooth. The information provided was very clear in terms of what was offered and what it would cost. It all looked very professional and very easy from the start,” Yentl said.
