Now comes the hard work: Complete the onboarding process
It\’s about showing, not telling. After filling in your profile, we ask you to complete an English Verification process. It can take a while, but it is a significant investment in your international tech career.
You record and submit three videos in which you talk a little bit about yourself and your professional experiences. Our team analyzes the videos, and you get specialized feedback if any improvement is needed. The recording is a way to show recruiters your English speaking skills and a marketing tool since they are the first point of contact between you and the hiring companies abroad.

Go the extra mile to an international tech career: complete some code challenges
Every step we talked about so far is mandatory. But if you are serious about building yourself an international tech career, you will want to go the extra mile.
Most hiring companies ask candidates to complete coding tasks. It\’s a way to assess their programming abilities and how they deal with problems. You can get ahead in the process and take some of the Code Challenges we offer for free on our platform. Choose your favorite coding language, set aside time, and show the world your best! Recruiters will appreciate your effort.
