Case Study: Attentive expands global hiring with Pebl Velocity Global

How Attentive relied on Velocity Global to simplify immigration and global HR

Attentive, a leader in conversational commerce for 8,000+ brands, needed to expand globally after a 2021 acquisition and a shift to remote work. With a senior employee relocating to Portugal and plans to keep hiring across borders, the team needed help navigating immigration, labor law, and benefits differences in Portugal and Canada while staying within a fixed budget. Pebl Velocity Global provided employer of record (EOR) and global immigration support to meet those needs.

Pebl Velocity Global delivered detailed, itemized quotes, refined costs to fit Attentive’s budget, and provided a named relationship manager for responsive, high-touch communication. The vendor handled the Portugal relocation, then supported a Canada hire, while clarifying country-specific requirements like Portugal’s 13th/14th-month pay and Canada’s RRSP and vacation accrual rules. The result was a repeatable path for Attentive to hire internationally and manage ongoing payroll, benefits, and HR support with confidence.
