[] EP Advisory was founded with a simple yet big ambition: to help expats find where they truly belong. We unlock career possibilities beyond borders – whether geographical, organisational, or personal.
Work has become integral to our lives, identities and well-being. But the employment world is stuck with recruiting agents who, by definition, ‘persuade people to work for a company’. They are driven by KPIs rather than the urge to help an individual find a fulfilling job. Not to mention international professionals who are completely left out of the picture due to the serious misconception about the complexity of visa and immigration policies.
We started EP Advisory to change this. Having been recruiters ourselves, we no longer could prioritise employers’ needs over those of people. We wanted to give thousands of bright, intelligent, ambitious, and brave Russian speakers a stepping stone to make their dreams come true.
From our first call to the job offer, we are here for them every step of the way. Evaluating all the options, giving constructive feedback, sharing industry-specific advice, and providing practical tools to encourage them to become what they want. Whether it means another challenge, a fresh start, or a long-awaited opportunity, we push the boundaries and explore how the seemingly unreal can become real.
In a world of possibilities beyond borders, we help them find where they truly belong.
