Here are the most interesting points from our conversation: Simplifying Global Mobility: Jobbatical is working to make relocating to a new country as simple as booking a flight, leveraging AI and automation to streamline the employee visa process, cutting costs and reducing friction for both individuals and HR teams. Pivoting to Meet Customer Needs: Originally starting as a cross-border recruitment platform, Jobbatical pivoted in 2019 to focus solely on solving the relocation challenges their customers highlighted, such as visa management. Embracing Borderless Living Technology: Karoli describes Jobbatical as a creator of “borderless living technology,” aiming to build a new category that transcends traditional immigration tech and adapts to the modern, highly mobile workforce. Service Layer on Top of SaaS: Jobbatical blends software with a service layer, automating tasks like filling out visa forms and reducing manual work, significantly enhancing the user experience. Tackling Legacy Providers: Jobbatical is disrupting both large immigration law firms and internal HR teams by offering a more cost-effective and seamless solution to global relocation. Future Vision: Karoli envisions a world where the current paper passport becomes obsolete, replaced by a digital identity that makes global relocation frictionless, supported by AI-driven platforms like Jobbatical. // Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe. www.GlobalTalent.co
