SumUp, the global financial technology leader noticed a few trends. The company was looking for a way to master the post-pandemic world: they wanted to increase the talent pool and enable work flexibility. Some of the employees did not want to relocate while some others wanted to return to their home country. Either way, it was key for SumUp to be able to hire and retain them. In fact, before the pandemic, employees had no choice but to relocate since all the work was happening in the office.
With its existing employees, SumUp could finally attain a key HR goal: with the in-practice implementation of hybrid work, the company could leverage its very own talent pool by recruiting candidates in distant locations, who would not have applied in the past due to location circumstances, and not because of lack of skills.
SumUp’s experiences led to its introduction to WorkMotion. With WorkGlobal, the Employer of Record (EoR) solution, SumUp was able to rediscover a wide range of talent, while maintaining the company’s hiring efforts.
SumUp’s mission is to empower small businesses all over the world, and by extension, they empower their employees globally too, wherever they are.
Several concrete benefits for SumUp while collaborating with WorkMotion include:
How? With EoR, SumUp does not have to wait for the candidate to get their work visa. The talent can start working remotely right away, while waiting for their work permits and preparing for their relocation.
For example, the HR-team can access statutory regulations in Serbia in a matter of minutes when considering a talent in that country.
