" At the beginning of preparations of relocation to Finland, Nerdsbay wasn't on my shortlist of EOR vendors. Nevertheless, thanks to Nerdsbay, the relocation happened. It happened according to a clear plan and terms, completely predictable, smooth, and fast. The model of interaction with Nerdsbay is exactly what I expected from an EOR company. "
" Nerdsbay provided exceptional support during our family’s relocation to Finland. Their team was with us every step of the way, assisting with crucial aspects like finding schools for our children, securing medical care and opening bank accounts. They were always quick to respond, extremely friendly and handled everything with the highest level of professionalism. Thanks to their expertise, our move was smooth and stress-free. "
" In 2023, Nerdsbay greatly assisted me in relocating to Finland. Their professionalism ensured I found a reliable relocartion partner. The team was highly competent in residence permit matters and always available to answer questions. I particularly appreciated their job fairs, which help to discover employment opportunities in Finland. "
