VERSION 1: SHORT (Quick Call Response)
Pillars: Transparency, Effortless
Transferring talent from another EOR provider can vary a lot by country, so we usually recommend starting with locations where the process is more straightforward. It helps create a smooth first experience and gets the transition moving quickly.
VERSION 2: MEDIUM (Standard Conversation)
Pillars: Transparency, Customer & Talent Experience, Effortless
Transferring talent from another EOR can be simple in some countries and more complex in others because each location has its own legal and administrative requirements. To give you the smoothest start, we normally recommend beginning with countries that have faster, more predictable onboarding processes, such as Denmark, Finland, Sweden, the UK, Ireland, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Austria, India, the Netherlands and Serbia. This approach helps build early momentum and gives your talent a seamless experience from day one.
VERSION 3: LONG (Full Narrative)
Pillars: Transparency, Trust, Customer & Talent Experience
I appreciate you looking at transferring your existing talent to WorkMotion. Moving talent from one EOR provider to another is absolutely possible, but the level of complexity can vary a lot from country to country. Some markets have simple labour regulations and straightforward documentation requirements, while others involve longer lead times or more detailed compliance checks. Being open about this helps us set the right expectations and give you a smooth experience.
What makes a real difference is sequencing. We usually recommend starting with countries where the transfer process is proven to be faster and more predictable. These include Denmark, Finland, Sweden, the UK, Ireland, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Austria, India, the Netherlands and Serbia. Beginning with these locations creates early wins, reduces administrative friction and gives both you and your talent a positive first experience.
Our team has successfully transferred more than 200 talents from other providers into WorkMotion entities, and that experience means we know how to navigate the nuances, anticipate potential delays and keep the process moving. It is all about giving you a transition that feels organised, transparent and smooth for your teams in every location.
