Case Study: JetBrains Streamlines Urgent Employee Relocation with Jobbatical

JetBrains turning the urgent relocation of 250 employees into an ongoing mobility solution

JetBrains, the global software company behind developer productivity tools, faced an urgent challenge in March 2022 when it decided to close its offices in Russia and needed to relocate nearly 250 employees to Germany. The company turned to Jobbatical for relocation and immigration services to manage the move at scale.

Jobbatical provided a centralized platform plus expert support to streamline document handling, track visa progress, send status updates, and give employees dedicated guidance throughout the process. This made relocation “transparent and predictable,” saved JetBrains an enormous amount of time, reduced the need for manual check-ins and extra internal resources, and has since evolved into a long-term mobility solution supporting 625+ relocations in total.
