WorkMotion Reviews

Maroua always answers my questions and issues promptly and thoroughly. The platform makes it much easier for me to handle HR matters without worrying about compliance details. Overall, my experience with WorkMotion has been smooth and reliable.

I wish WorkMotion would expand into a full all-in-one HR solution covering onboarding/offboarding, payroll calculation, time tracking, performance, expense reimbursement, and ATS.

WorkMotion helps us stay compliant when hiring and managing employees in Germany. It saves us time and reduces risk by handling the legal and administrative work. The support is responsive and gives us confidence.

WorkMotion's onboarding program is easy to follow. They supported me at every stage, from leaving my previous employer to joining them as an intermediary company.

So far, I haven't found anything to complain about with WorkMotion. Of course, it's important to note that I only started using it a few months ago. Still, I don't feel there's anything negative I can say at this point.

I received a job offer from a foreign Austrian company, but I wasn't particularly interested in working for them as a contractor. WorkMotion turned out to be the ideal solution for both me and the company, allowing everything to come together smoothly.

EASY HANDLE OF PORTAL - REACTIVE OF SUPPORTING TEAM, it is very easy handle for daily staff, travel expenses all around needs for employer

nothing till now, i have no negative point to underline, it is simple usage for any staff

be employed from a different country having the correct salary expenses in my land

Hiring employees through WorkMotion is easy. We felt confident in their service from the very beginning. The process was professional, reliable, and seamless.

So far, everything has been great. Also contacting the support was easy going and fast.

I loved how easy it is to communicate with the agents at WorkMotion. Any question or problem is answer and solved quickly and efficiently.

None! I liked everything so far and fellow colleagues who were hired with WorkMotion say the same!

WorkMotion found a solution for my contract with a foreign company. Working remotely can often come with this issue, but they found a solution that works both for the company and for me as an employee. I am happy to know there's a company out there who makes it easy for workers to connect with companies all over the world in such an easy way!

When working with workmotion all of the necesities are done remotely without any further need to pick up some letters or sign something in person. The whole onboarding and document provided was easy. When I'm in need for explaining something or providing some document f.e. for a bank it goes super quickly and sometimes I was surprised how fast some documents were provided.

Not the worst thing, but sometimes it might be not the most useful solution, but I understand the complexity of the situation. In order to be reimbursed for some spendings they have to be submitted till 5th day of the month if you miss this deadline than it will take up to almost 2 months for those spendings to get reimbursed.

Whenever I'm in need of having some documents provided it goes really fast to get the full information back.

Wir sind sehr zufrieden mit WorkMotion und dem Gesamtpaket, das uns bei der internationalen Einstellung von Mitarbeitenden geboten wird. Besonders positiv hervorheben möchten wir die reibungslose Abwicklung bei der Anstellung eines Mitarbeitenden in Portugal, der zuvor bereits in Deutschland bei uns beschäftigt war und dann ins Ausland gezogen ist. WorkMotion hat uns hier optimal unterstützt und den Übergang unkompliziert gestaltet. Die Plattform bietet einen klar strukturierten Prozess, der sowohl für unser HR-Team als auch für die Mitarbeitenden transparent und effizient ist. Gerade bei komplexeren Fällen wie Standortwechseln ins Ausland zeigt sich die Stärke des Tools: Es nimmt uns viele administrative Aufgaben ab und sorgt für eine rechtssichere Umsetzung.

Ein Punkt, der aus unserer Sicht noch verbessert werden könnte, ist die Transparenz in der Abstimmung vor Vertragsabschluss. Hier kam es im Nachgang zu einigen Unstimmigkeiten, die sich mit klareren Informationen im Vorfeld vermutlich hätten vermeiden lassen. Stichwort: Sozialversicherungsnummer vor Vertragsabschluss

Von der Vertragsgestaltung über die lokale Compliance bis hin zur Kommunikation mit Behörden – alles läuft über eine zentrale Plattform. Dadurch sparen wir nicht nur Zeit, sondern gewinnen auch an Sicherheit und Transparenz im Prozess.

The support was quick and efficient, the Workmotion staff is very helpful and the recruitment process was successfully closed swiftly. The platform is easy to use.

There was a slight technical issue with the platform as I needed to input foreign data, which has been immediately addressed by the Workmotion IT team and solved in the following day. In the meantime, the support team took over the process and filled in forms on my behalf. Extremely helpful.

it is efficient and easy to use, my inquiry got a fast response from support and user friendly to use. Forms were nice and easy to fill up

Nothing much everything is good and easy to use. Might as well give more vibrant colors in for the ui/ux experience

not a problem i would say but im using it for my onboarding on my new employment

WorkMotion really is the all-in-one solution if you’re planning to work abroad. My payroll always arrives on time—never had a delay. I’m based in Spain and honestly have no clue how most of the bureaucracy works here, but their local experts take care of everything. I recently went on parental leave and it couldn’t have been easier. I just opened a ticket and it was all handled super quickly. After seeing how smooth it was for me, two of my friends decided to use WorkMotion too.

Trust me when I say I have nothing to dislike about Workmotion. After 3 years of use I can't complain about any thing they are in charge of.

I currently work from Spain for a company based in Bonn, Germany, through the services WorkMotion provides.

We chose WorkMotion to support our international new hire after initially considering WorkGlobal. We ultimately decided to go with a direct employment model for greater flexibility, and WorkMotion seamlessly stepped in to handle the transition. Their customer service team was responsive and helpful, especially when we needed a direct deposit refunded to our bank account rather than issued as a credit—they resolved it smoothly without complications. The platform is user-friendly, and the team has been great to work with.

I had some confusion around how the payroll was handled initially when transitioning from WorkGlobal and WorkDirect, but it was made clearer once I expressed it. While I did have an orientation on it, I think the initial orientation should emphasize it more.

It allows us to hire international candidates and be compliant with local labor laws.

I was really impressed by the fast response times and the professional handling throughout the process. Everything felt smooth, reliable, and well-organized. Highly recommended!

If I had to mention one downside, it would be that the contract documentation could be a bit more detailed.

WorkMotion has made it incredibly easy to hire and manage international talents without the complexity of setting up local entities. It solves the legal and administrative challenges of global employment, letting us focus on growing our team efficiently across borders.

Uncomplicated and fast processing. Quick support and help with any questions. Little effort required.Workmotion does a great job. All employees are very helpful and provide support in every way. You don't have to wait long for answers and are guided precisely through the tool. It is very helpful and easy to understand. We have had consistently positive experiences and look forward to continuing to work with Workmotion.

There have been no negative experiences to date. On the contrary, Workmotion does a great job and is very helpful and supportive.

With Workmotion, we were able to hire employees in other countries via EOR. The process ran smoothly, quickly and easily. This allowed us to save internal resources and required little effort to implement.

Any kind of questions are quickly resolved by the support, they're very proactive. Easy management of expenses and working time.

Missing module for easy filling out of the time spent on business trips to simplify settlements e.g. of pocket money calculation.

A lot easier management of contracts, time and expenses.

I've been working with WorkMotion for 3 years now, and I've seen the platform improve over this time. I really appreciate that all their country-specific guides are up-to-date. They do a good job of working with the local Employer of Record if they do need a third party in certain countries.

I haven't found anything specific that I disliked. They've generally handled things well whenever I raise a concern.

WorkMotion helps me work for a German company, while residing in a different country as a fully remote employee.

The entire process was incredibly smooth – within one week, we had everything set up to employ our new team member abroad. The communication was outstanding: I always knew what the next step was and felt well-guided throughout the entire journey. Everyone I spoke to at WorkMotion conveyed a true sense of purpose – helping us hire globally with ease and confidence.

Honestly, I can’t think of anything we disliked. Everything worked as expected – or even better.

We needed to hire a highly skilled employee abroad without setting up a local entity – WorkMotion made that possible. The biggest benefit was speed and simplicity: the contract was ready within days, and compliance was handled fully by WorkMotion. It allowed us to focus on onboarding our new team member instead of navigating international employment regulations.

My journey with WorkMotion has been excellent. From the very beginning, the process was transparent and simple, with quick responses from their support team. The platform made everything easy to navigate. It’s a great service for anyone seeking international opportunities and flexible work arrangements. Highly recommended!

Honestly, there’s nothing I dislike. The process was smooth, the support was great, and everything worked perfectly.

WorkMotion has enabled me to continue working for the same company I was previously employed by in Spain, but now as a contractor based in Brazil.

The onboarding was very proffesional, emphatic and digital. It makes the procedure fast and easy. The system also helps to add extra info.

I have not found any issue to dislike and comment so far. But if I found I am sure that the support service will help to clarify.

I need to solve a compliance break with the company that is hiring me.

The WorkMotion platform is easy to use. Customer service is very reliable and fast. Every single case I have had in the last 3 years of using WorkMotion has been quickly solved. The process of submitting days off, certificates, or any other documents is well-implemented, and I use it frequently enough to say it works well.

The time tracking feature isn't clear. Lack of possibility to view records of past months limits the ability to correct any errors. It is hard to modify the number of vacation days if it is greater than the number coming from the country regulations.

Thanks to WorkMotion, I can work for the company in one country while living in another EU country, where my employer doesn't have a branch. I can benefit from national regulations of the country I am living in and pay taxes there without being worried about tax policies in the country where my company is. WorkMotion makes working while traveling and living in different countries very easy.

I have had a great experience using WorkMotion for remote hiring and workforce management. What I like most about the platform is how seamless and efficient it makes the process of onboarding international employees. The compliance handling is excellent, ensuring that all legal and tax-related aspects are taken care of, which removes a huge burden when hiring across different countries. The platform itself is very user-friendly, with a clean and intuitive interface that makes it easy to track employee contracts, payroll, and benefits. Another major plus is the customer support team – they are responsive and knowledgeable, making sure any concerns are addressed quickly. WorkMotion is an excellent choice for companies looking to expand their global teams without the hassle of setting up local entities. While there may be minor areas for improvement, such as faster processing times in some cases, overall, it’s a reliable and efficient solution for remote workforce management. Would definitely recommend it to any business looking to simplify international hiring!

I've had a small problem for registering my account at the beginning. It got solved after few hours.

Cross Country work, enabling remote work while removing the toll for taxation.

Easy to use, keeps all your documents together on portal, quick service. I have found it easier than working with HR teams in my other job. It is just really user friendly.

All my concerns have been addressed and I have not encountered any negatives yet

It has allowed me to access better jobs without relocating.

One of the most impactful aspects of WorkMotion is the ability to join a company that isn’t based in my country. This has opened up incredible opportunities for me that would have otherwise been out of reach. It breaks down geographic barriers, allowing skilled professionals like myself to access international roles and collaborate with global teams without the need to relocate.

Honestly, there was nothing I would point to as a negative. The entire process was smooth, efficient, and well-structured from start to finish. Communication was clear, support was responsive, and all the necessary steps—from documentation to onboarding—were handled with professionalism. It’s rare to experience such a streamlined service in a cross-border employment setup, and I truly appreciated how hassle-free it all was.

Joining a Germany company that doesn't have offices in Italy

Easy to use and intuitive platform. We manage the payslips through the platform, and the access is safe but seamless. I only had a doubt recently and their support team responded quickly and with clear instructions.

We haven't tried all of its features yet, but the ones we're currently using work great for our team!

We currently use the payslip send/save option, and it's great to have easy access to this in one click.

WorkMotion made something that can feel overwhelming—working for a company in another country—surprisingly smooth. I didn’t have to worry about local laws, taxes, or paperwork, because everything was taken care of. Knowing that they handle the legal side of my employment gave me real peace of mind, especially as someone living abroad.

The platform sometimes sends automated updates that made me unsure whether I needed to do something or just wait. It would be helpful if those messages included a short “next steps” or “nothing to do” note to reduce uncertainty.

I needed a way to legally work for a German company while living in the UK, without the stress of setting up my own legal entity or dealing with international employment laws. WorkMotion solved that by handling everything on the employer's side—contracts, taxes, compliance, and soon my pension too. The biggest benefit for me has been peace of mind. I can focus on my work without constantly wondering if I’m “doing everything right” from a legal or tax perspective.

Great customer support, which is reflected in quick answers to questions and open tickets by competent Workmotion employees. Fast processing of changes and enquiries.

At first it was a bit unusual not to communicate by e-mail, but directly via the ticket system in Workmotion. However, this has the advantage of being able to easily track the entire communication and processing status of the enquiry.

It allows me to work from my country of choice and carry out my activities for a company in another country.

Personally, what I like the most is the very intuitive tools they provide to make remote working easy and feasible. Also, that they take care of all the legal concerns so that the employee can just focus on working and their customer support is effective and fast.

I'd love if they provided SMS and TOTP as additional 2FA authentication options since the only one available at the moment is email and this could be easily hacked.

I can work for my German employer and get the same benefits as if I lived in Germany but working from Spain

WorkMotion provides a very intuitive interface that makes it easy to access relevant employee information across countries. I particularly appreciate how quickly their support team responds to tickets, especially given the complexities that come with managing international employment—where each country (and sometimes even regions within a country) has its own set of rules and processes

The time tracking feature could be more user-friendly and intuitive. It takes some time to get used to, and the user experience might not be as smooth as other parts of the platform. Additionally, it would be really helpful if this feature could be integrated with other internal systems—right now, I need to record time in multiple platforms: one for WorkMotion and another one for internal tracking, which leads to duplicated efforts.

The possibility to hire talented people other countries in a really simple way.

- for the speed with which they deal with each case - for their willingness to meet everyone's needs - for their guarantee of seriousness and protection

so far nothing, they have solved every problem and I can be satisfied with the service

employment with an international company, the staff also speak my language so any information comes to me clearly

WorkMotion makes global hiring seamless with its easy-to-use platform, compliance support, and smooth onboarding process. 🚀

Sometimes, response times for support can be slow, and the platform could be more intuitive in certain areas.

Change bank account, doubts about payslips

The onboarding process was super fast and the teams knowledge about specific requirements in Spain (especially to do with Visas) was really great. The support team is also super helpful and respond to questions really fast with accurate and knowledgeable responses.

Expense management could be improved to allow for receipts to be emailed in or scanned with an app. Also, as far as I know, there is not an integration with Humaans (HRIS), so team members need to input their PTO in both apps as they don't sync so an integration with Humaans would be a really great improvement!

Without WorkMotion as the EoR, my company wouldn't be able to employ me in the country I reside in as they don't have a local entity. The alternative for me would've been to become a freelancer which was not an option.

We have used both the solutions (WorkGlobal EOR as well as WorkDirect) and never faced any issues with service or compliance or different processing workflows like payroll, time tracking, expenses as well as end-to-end integrations with different online partners.

We faced some minor online bugs in 2023 but they were clarified and resolved by the support teams within few working days. Have not faced any issues recently and no issues that cannot be resolved by the support team.

Employment with employers that do not have their own legal business entities and offices in countries like Germany.

Workmotion made it possible for me to continue the job I love while working abroad. The process was easy and I get fast & attentive support for any topics coming up while adjusting to this new situation in a new country.

Up until now I haven't made any negative experiences. Every now and then it would be nice to be able to connect a face/a person and have a check-in via call in the beginning, but that's nothing major.

Being able to work for a German company while living in Spain wasn't easy before, workmotion made it possible to make this an "correct" process so that I can be officially registered and contracted in Spain without huge effort & costs for my employer or me.

Am besten hat uns gefallen, dass WorkMotion auf alle Fragen sehr schnell eingeht und gemeinsam nach Lösungen gesucht wird. Der Kundenservice ist sehr freundlich und Kundenorientiert.

Nicht alle Wünsche können durch die örtlichen arbeitsrechtlichen Vorgaben abgebildet werden. Aber WorkMotion ist bemüht darum, gemeinsam nach praktikablen Lösungen zu suchen.

Ein Mitarbeiter zieht nach Polen und das Unternehmen und kann mit WorkMotion rechtlich korrekt von dort aus für das Unternehmen arbeiten.

the Webversion is easy to use. Also, the support was good and helpful. No hiding behind standard phrases but giving usfull answers.

Working as an employee of record means, that you have to wait for reimbursement. thats not directly about workmotion but about the construct itself.

Working for a company located in another country.

WorkMotion has a very good support. The response time is low. It is easy too use. Wishes of useres are taken sereously.

Complicated issues like debugging an data update problem could be processed a bit faster, although it was still quite good.

Employing workers worldwide without worring about compling to local juristriction.

Workmotion is always aware of the needs of its employees and has a support team willing to help. Response times are acceptable and they always communicate to announce the status of incidents.

Being remote and a geographically distributed company, sometimes it may have processes that are not appropriate for all needs. Beyond this, they always send surveys to find out how to improve and apply the suggestions.

I had to make changes to be able to manage my personal documentation more effectively. They always solved my problems.

Prinzipiell finde ich das Konzept gut, dass WorkMotion die Möglichkeit gibt direkt in anderen Ländern anzustellen (haben zwei Produkte: Work Direct und das Standardprodukt: Employer or Record), ohne dass man über einen Drittanbieter die Mitarbeitenden im Land anstellt sondern direkt selbst der Vertragspartner ist. Somit haben die Mitarbeitenden in anderen Ländern auch direkt die Vertragsbeziehung mit dem eigenen Unternehmen, welches wertgeschätzt wird

Der Kundenservice ist bedingt responsive und leider sind die Wachstumsschmerzen von WorkMotion erheblich zu spüren. Die erste Gehaltsabrechnung war 1,5 Monate zu spät. Leider ein absolutes No-Go wenn man Mitarbeitende pünktlich bezahlen möchte.

Mitarbeitende in verschiedenen Ländern ordentlich anstellen. Dies machen wir zum einen über das Standardprodukt (Employer of Record) und zum anderen über das spezielle Produkt Work Direct, welches uns befähigt direkt in anderen Ländern Personen einzustellen ohne eine Legaleinheit Vorort zu eröffnen.
