Challenge

As a newly hired HR Business Partner and immigration point-of-contact, there was enough foresight to know the traditional immigration model wasn’t suited for the company's growing immigration needs.

With each round of funding, executives focused on scaling various areas of the growing company. Just as the new HR Business Partner was seeing their responsibilities increase as the newest member of an already lean HR team, the company had started to focus on scaling the Engineering and Product teams, for which international employees represented a significant proportion of the candidate pipeline. Committed to finding the best possible talent, regardless of nationality, the company was aggressively pursuing international candidates with competitive green card policy, yet there wasn't a process in place to handle the upcoming increase in caseload.

Knowing their existing counsel was ill-prepared to handle this growth, the company turned to Bridge to standardize their immigration process.

Approach

Onboarding all existing foreign national employees, tracking key data and dates across the immigration lifecycle of each international employee and their dependants

Standardizing the H-1B evaluation and filing process to provide earlier, more accurate start dates for both hiring managers and candidates

Leveraging Bridge's experience with other hyper-growth companies to effectively benchmark the existing green card policy against competing companies

"Our pace, coupled with our lean HR team, necessitated that we find a provider to help maximize both the effectiveness and efficiency of our international talent strategy. Thank you, Bridge."
