Case Study: Ascend.io achieves faster, transparent visa processing to attract and retain top talent with Envoy Global

The Ability to Attract and Retain Top Talent Is Key for this Start-Up

Ascend.io, a Palo Alto–based big data software company, struggled with a slow, manual immigration process that created little visibility into case timelines and funneled employees’ questions through busy HR staff. To recruit and retain top global talent, Ascend.io needed a more transparent, efficient way to manage H‑1B and green card cases—so they turned to Envoy Global for immigration services and access to an online case-management platform.

Envoy Global implemented its online platform with timelines, due dates and a Communication Center that lets employees message their attorney directly and receive answers within 24 hours, reducing HR’s time as the middleman. The solution gave employees peace of mind, allowed Ascend.io to handle more cases than their previous law firm could have, and saved “countless dollars in time” by streamlining workflows and improving transparency.
