We will do all the paperwork (Visa) for you. Hard as it is to believe, it’s all free. Since our program runs non-profit, we don’t charge any type of fees. The process is so convenient that the companies we help feel like they’re hiring domestically. All you need to is share a job description, and we will take care of the rest.

“Working with the Startup Life team has been both fun and fruitful for Zendesk. They connected us with many exceptional engineers, two of whom we hired, and then deftly navigated all the visa and relocation issues. We are excited to partner with Startup Life again and meet their latest crop of Nordic talent. - Zendesk on Startuplife 2011
