Why Portugal?

Portugal is the most popular relocation destination we place into, and it earns that. Over 300 days of sun a year, some of the lowest living costs in Western Europe, and large international communities in Lisbon and Porto that make arriving alone far less daunting.

How the process works

• A short introductory call with CloserHire, around 30 minutes
• Interview with the company
• Offer, then we help with the paperwork and, where relevant, the move

From application to starting on the ground usually takes around five weeks.
