European hr & recruitment alternative based in Netherlands.
WorkFlex automates the compliance paperwork behind international business travel, workations, and cross-border assignments — generating A1 certificates, posted worker notifications, and visa documentation in minutes rather than weeks. Used by 500+ enterprises including Deel, BioNTech, Otto Group, and Flix, it handles more than 100,000 trips annually and turns a fragmented mess of tax, social security, and immigration rules into one automated workflow for HR and Global Mobility teams.
The platform runs pre-trip compliance assessments covering work entitlement, tax, social security, and labour law across 25+ countries, files Posted Worker Notifications automatically for EU/EEA destinations, and manages visa applications end-to-end. Integrated travel health insurance through ALH Group Hallesche, 24/7 SOS support, and a full audit trail close the loop, backed by €250K financial liability coverage for social security and tax risks.
Key benefits:
- Automated A1 certificates and Certificates of Coverage across 25+ countries

- Visa handling including document prep and submission

WorkFlex is headquartered in Amsterdam, Netherlands, founded in 2022 by Pieter Manden and Patrick Koch, and recently raised €37 million in Series B funding from Spectrum Equity. The platform is ISO 27001 certified, aligned with ISO 31030 risk standards, and fully GDPR compliant with data transfer impact assessments — making it a European-built answer to cross-border compliance rather than a US-rooted mobility tool.
