International Tech Job Search Handbook

Relocation to a foreign country for work can be very exciting and lead to unique opportunities that couldn't be accessed in your home country. At the same time, it's a real challenge - I know it firsthand. Your mind becomes inundated with questions:

  • How to prepare a resume?
  • Where to find companies that hire foreign talent?
  • What relocation assistance is typically provided?
  • How to get a work visa?

And the list goes on!

Hopefully, this handbook will give you the necessary guidance. Topics covered include resume preparation, job search, salary negotiation, relocation packages, and more.

๐Ÿ“ Resume preparation

A well-written and concise resume is an essential ingredient of a successful job hunt. Here's a list of articles, resources & tools to help you:

๐Ÿ‘€ Job search (useful reads)

๐Ÿ”– Niche job boards that have a filter for relocation

  • Relocate.me: The site is built around and focused entirely on tech jobs that offer relocation.
  • Wellfound (formerly AngelList): If you go to the Filters tab, you will find a section named "Immigration + Network." There is an option to "only show companies that can sponsor a visa." Tick the box.
  • Landing.Jobs: The main country that they feature is Portugal, but you can find tech jobs in other parts of Europe as well. When searching for jobs, make sure to select the gilter for "Visa & work permit."
  • SwissDevJobs: For those looking to move to Switzerland, SwissDev Jobs is a great place to turn. The website allows you to easily locate developer jobs anywhere in Switzerland. In order to filter it to only jobs with relocation, you simply need to check the filter box for "Visa sponsorship for non-EU residents."
  • TokyoDev: The site is dedicated to helping international developers start and grow their career in Japan. Among other things, you will find a list of job offerings from local employers that are open to hiring foreign, English-speaking techies.
  • Japan Dev: A hand-curated job board for tech roles in Japan.
  • Arbeitnow: Europe-based positions with relocation assistance/visa sponsorship & salary info.

๐Ÿ”– Other places to check during the search

Note: You can apply the same approach - typing "relocation" followed by your target job title in the search bar - to other sites (e.g., Indeed or Glassdoor) that, like LinkedIn, have no filter for relocation. Of course, you will find some jobs that don't offer relocation or are not quite what you are looking for, but overall using relevant keywords does a good job at filtering them out.

๐Ÿ”– International recruitment agencies

  • Agile Search. Matches developers from all over the world with the best job opportunities and companies in the Nordics.
  • Global {M} โ€“ jobs with European tech companies
  • Global Skills Hub โ€“ remote and relocation jobs with Canada's top tech companies
  • Nederlia โ€“ tech & product roles at starups and scaleups in Europe
  • Ravecruitment โ€“ IT jobs in the Netherlands
  • Relocateme.eu โ€“ software engineer jobs with European startups and well-established tech companies
  • Toughbyte โ€“ dev job opportunities in EU countries
  • Zero to One Search โ€“ IT jobs in Germany
