So, you’re thinking about applying for a position at our Tractive Campus in Linz, Austria?  Amazing! Linz is a great place to live, and working at Tractive means you will be joining an international team with 40+ nationalities.

Having the right relocation support can make all the difference to your moving experience. Our Tractive HR team will help you navigate through the process to ensure a smooth transition.

Here are a few things that our team can help you with: 

Visa & Work Permit

If you are considering relocating to Linz and you do not have EU citizenship, then the first and most important thing that you need to do before moving is to ensure that you can legally work in Austria. This means applying for a Visa & Work Permit – also called the Red-White-Red Card. 

But don’t worry! We are here to help with the process. Our HR team will walk you through the process step by step.

Relocation Assistance

We know that moving to another country can be challenging. That’s why our HR team is here to help you with all your questions.

To prepare you for your relocation, we have put together a comprehensive Relocation Guide which includes the most important information you’ll need before you relocate: banking, public transportation, healthcare, how accommodation works in Austria, and much more. 

“The relocation guide was very helpful for me to get a first glimpse of live in Austria.’’ – Ahmed

“Tractive helped me anytime I had questions or needed help. This gave me even more confidence in Tractive and my intention to move to Austria.“ – Marina

Relocation Support Allowance

Relocating to a new country can be expensive. To help cover some of the costs of a relocation, we offer new Tractive team members who relocate from another country our Relocation Support Allowance.

Buddy Program

Everyone knows what it is like to start a new job – it’s both exciting and also a bit stressful! That’s why from your very first day at Tractive you are partnered with a Buddy. Your Buddy is there to help you navigate cultural differences, provide insights about living in Linz, and offer helpful tips and advice about working at Tractive.

“The Buddy Program made me feel like I was instantly part of the team. I had a friend to chat with over a coffee from my very first day.“ – Richelle

Language Course Support

Although English is the official language spoken at Tractive, German is the language spoken throughout Austria. Learning basic German helps to make day-to-day life easier and will help with social interactions outside of Tractive.
