Specialties
At Envoy, we want to make it easier for employers and workers to pursue that opportunity across the global marketplace. And we take that job really seriously. Formerly known as VISANOW, Envoy was founded in Chicago in 1998 to help people navigate the stressful, confusing and incredibly inefficient immigration and visa application process. We built our company on a simple idea: never, ever forget that behind all the applications and case files there are people. More than 30,000 cases and 2,000 customers later, we've brought together all of our knowledge and experience to create the world's first enterprise platform that makes it seamless for companies to hire and manage a global workforce. At Envoy, we make it simple for people to work anywhere in the world by bringing efficiency and transparency to what was once an unbelievably frustrating experience. Our people and technology are here to keep you and your employees productive, supported and informed -- before, during and after the immigration process. We also realize that managing a global workforce goes far beyond visas and work permits. It's about understanding the complex nuances of today's global HR environment: Knowing how employees are assimilating into your culture and into their new country. Attracting more diverse talent from more countries. Helping your organization be ready and able to take advantage of every business opportunity, anywhere in the world.
