Moishe House - Expand Communities for Young Jewish Adults

Industry: Nonprofit 

New Markets: UK, France, Argentina, Ukraine, Czech Republic, Spain and Brazil 

Moishe House is a global nonprofit organization that creates meaningful communities and opportunities worldwide for the young adult Jewish community via peer-led programming. It plans to dramatically extend its impact on the community by scaling its programs, expanding alumni efforts and experimenting with innovative programs that engage new segments of the young adult population. 

Challenge 

In 2018, Moishe House employed 12 team members located in seven countries outside North America, making it challenging to ensure that all critical functions were handled correctly for each of them. The goal for the organization was to partner with a company that could help them correctly pay their international employees, set up contracts, manage benefits, provide country-specific expertise and ensure compliance while reducing its administrative load. 

“We needed a partner who could provide us with reliable and compliant support for our employees located outside of the U.S. We turned to Atlas for this support to ensure that everything was accurate, timely and done properly.” 
- Ann Baumgarten; Chief Human Resources Officer, Moishe House 

Solution 

Moishe House used Atlas technology to support its hiring in seven countries. The platform streamlined the management of once-complex processes for employees across continents. The platform supported the internal finance team as it managed significant volumes of reimbursement payments, a complex and data-intensive process. The team found that the final approval part of the process became more visible and easier to control. As a result, a once-tedious project turned into an easy-to-manage task, complete with payroll reminders, quick links to necessary documents and intelligent reporting. 

Complementing this support, Atlas’ extensive database of local business intelligence offered side-by-side comparisons of current and potential countries for expansion. This platform has proven to be an invaluable resource when country-specific information on local employment and tax laws is required. 

Moishe House’s dedicated Atlas Account Manager has also been an essential part of this support and growth. They’ve provided Moishe House with insights into which countries are best to hire in, which are more challenging and what it looks like to hire in different regions. This has helped form clear hiring strategies to ensure Moishe House is always ahead of the game. 

Impact 

A TRUSTED PARTNER 

Moishe House’s dedicated Account Manager is agile and adapts to meet their business needs and expansion plans. Additional support comes from the Atlas global team, whose members speak more than 90 languages. 

RELEVANT INSIGHTS 

Moishe House now knows it can depend on Atlas to provide immediate information-shaping decisions. Whether deciding between hiring in Brazil versus Argentina or painting a picture of how easy or complex it is to hire in a specific country, the Atlas team provides Moishe House with insights on tax laws, employment regulations and more. 

TECH-DRIVEN SERVICE 

Moishe House depends on Atlas to help them overcome unexpected challenges, resolve problems and build relationships. The value of Atlas lies not just in the extensive expertise but in its ability to go the extra mile. 

“I would recommend Atlas to anyone hiring globally. Trying to pay people correctly while following multiple laws is challenging when you’re in several countries. Atlas is knowledgeable about every country and what they don’t know, they proactively find out.”
