Zero admin delays
New hires arrive with health insurance, SIM card, bank account, and liability insurance already sorted, so day one is about the job, not about queueing for paperwork.
WTE Companion guides new hires through the four German essentials before day one: health insurance, SIM card, bank account, and liability insurance. Your HR team spends less time on admin and more time supporting people.
Three things we take off HR's desk so your team can focus on the work only they can do.
New hires arrive with health insurance, SIM card, bank account, and liability insurance already sorted, so day one is about the job, not about queueing for paperwork.
We take over the repetitive, document-heavy tasks that drain your team's hours: applications, forms, and questions about rules nobody in-house wrote.
Less time battling red tape means more time focusing on the job they actually came to do, and a first week that feels like a real arrival.
The stress of German bureaucracy can easily overwhelm a new hire and derail their first weeks. By partnering with WTE Companion, you eliminate the friction that slows down international integration.
Every new hire opens a fresh round of admin. HR carries it, week after week.
HR spends hours explaining health and liability insurance, and every application means long forms to fill in and send off.
Opening an account means a branch visit, and after arrival new hires often wait weeks for a working account.
Getting connected starts with a trip to a supermarket or petrol station for a prepaid card.
The same four essentials, fully digital and sorted before they land. HR keeps the time, the hire keeps the calm.
New hires choose health and liability cover in the app before arrival, in minutes.
The account is opened fully digitally and ready on day one.
Set up digitally in minutes, with support and escalation if anything gets stuck.
Your international hires are moving their entire lives to keep your operations running smoothly. Whether they are stepping onto a busy hospital ward, a construction site, or a logistics hub, the last thing they need is to fight through local red tape alone. By providing WTE Companion, you offer a digital safety net that makes them feel valued immediately.
WTE Companion provides administrative and organisational support to simplify relocation, but does not offer formal legal or tax advisory services.
It complements your existing workflow without requiring any complex IT implementation. Most partners simply invite their incoming cohort to download the app. You can then monitor their relocation progress via our secure Partner Portal.

We automate the high-volume, administrative heavy lifting. While traditional agencies often focus on high-touch, manual support (like accompanying candidates to view apartments), we instantly handle the digital setup of the four core essentials: health insurance, SIM card, bank account, and private liability insurance. In fact, many agencies partner with us to handle this paperwork so they can focus on personal consulting.
No. You can start recommending the publicly available app to your candidates or students immediately, completely free of charge. A formal partnership is only required if you want access to the Partner Portal for progress tracking or tailored onboarding flows.
Absolutely. We are headquartered in Hamburg, and all data is encrypted and processed strictly within the EU. Every user retains full ownership and control over their account and uploaded documents at all times.
