Jobbatical vs Localyze

Jobbatical combines a global mobility platform with immigration, relocation, compliance, and business travel services for international teams. Immigration experts manage employee visa and residence permit applications; the platform helps prepare documents and track submissions. It also tracks permit renewals and deadlines with alerts and centralized timelines. Case-management tools include AI case summaries, compliance reports, dynamic timelines, and eligibility pre-checks. Jobbatical says its business immigration support covers more than 45 countries and that it supports more than 40 HRIS and ATS integrations, including Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, BambooHR, Greenhouse, Lever, Recruitee, and Personio. Data from connected HRIS and ATS systems syncs in real time, and adding a new hire can generate an immigration case. The company describes dedicated mobility experts, real-time case updates, and 24/7 support as service features. Pricing varies by country and service; one listed South Africa immigration assessment costs $250. Immigration services can be paid per case or through pre-purchased credits.

A marketplace and premium partners offer housing, family, concierge and moving support. The platform tracks relocation status, work-abroad days, trips, expenditures, budgets and payments; services can be paid for by card or bank transfer. HR teams can sync data bidirectionally with systems including Personio, BambooHR, Workday, HiBob and SAP SuccessFactors. Localyze says it is ISO 27001 certified and GDPR compliant, and supports customizable permissions, SSO and 2FA. It says the service is hosted in AWS European data centers, uses TLS in transit and AES-256 encryption at rest, and conducts penetration testing and vulnerability scans.
