🌎 About Localyze

Welcome to Localyze, where we’re reimagining how people move for work. Our mission is to tear down the barriers that limit talent and opportunity. We bring together seamless technology, transparency, and unrivalled service to make this happen. Founded in 2018 by three visionary women who believe in unlocking human potential without borders, Localyze has built a centralised platform that decentralises the world. We empower companies to hire from anywhere and enable individuals to choose where they live and work.

Global working is in our DNA. Our vibrant team, comprised of almost 50 Localitos from 15+ nationalities, fuels our creativity and innovation and we’re always looking for ways of expanding both our product and our reach!

If you’re passionate about redefining global mobility, pushing boundaries, and making a real impact, Localyze is the place for you. Join our community, shape the future, and rewrite the rules of the global workforce.
