Seeing your team from all over the world, are you guys still hiring? Taking apprentice?

Oh, they all arrived here as flotsam some way or other - through love or war, basically.

(The catch being that we currently do not have any remote employees and it is nigh on impossible to hire someone from outside the Schengen area unless they've already found another way to legally stay here. That usually means either being granted asylum or marrying someone, I'm afraid)

So, assuming I can get Schengen Visa from another country, is the process easier? I want to immigrate and Norway, Sweden, Finland are my top 3 destination. The thing is, getting visa there is harder. But if getting a Schengen visa would help (probably from France), I'm interested about the process to follow, can we have a chat?
At least for Sweden the process is pretty straightforward (at least at the moment). Once you have a job offer, the offering company usually hires some lawyer or company licensed (to fast track the visa within a week, a month at max).

Drop me some contact info, I can refer you. At least you can go through the process and check it out.

You can email me at ralinoro [at] outlook [dot] fr.
They're talking about changing it, but AFAIK, you can still get a pretty automatic visa for Sweden if an employer wants to hire you.
How is the view towards self taught in Sweden?
Legally, you just need a job offer. There are no degree requirements.
