If you pass this initial screening, we arrange up to two brief calls as an introduction to the final interview with the company you are assigned to.
Those initial calls are friendly chats and the opportunity to meet you better as well as answer any questions you might have (that have not been answered here in the FAQ).

So, you can see those two initial calls as with your allies who help you prepare for the final interview.

Of course you will. You are guaranteed two days off per week + 28 days’ paid vacation every year.
There’s no way you can feel lonely in super social Greece! In addition to other participants coming from all over the world, you will meet many new Greek friends.

This is probably the best program in the world when it comes to ease of moving abroad. If you’re selected and upon signing the job contract, you will be assigned an experienced HR manager who will work on your relocation to Greece.
That person books your airfare to Greece and arranges a taxi driver to wait on you at the airport and take you to your hotel where you will stay until your dedicated real estate agent finds you the place you call home. Above all, your dedicated HR person helps with any other assistance you might need before or after your arrival in Greece.
