Our Services
We tailor our services to specifically suit the needs of dual-career couples and guide them through the local job market expectations and cultural differences.
We provide a personal hands-on approach to assist spouses in continuing their career in a new environment. We also pride ourselves on finding creative solutions for candidates with unconventional careers and in industries not locally in demand.
The potential of such a challenging and exciting career transition, is highly dependent on a winning flexible attitude and the active mutual efforts of the candidate in their own search and placement. We offer our candidates individual support as needed, with research, consulting and networking, to leverage their portable skills for the local job market, as well as settle in to the new environment.
