Anywr

The firm and its structure

Anywr identifies itself as an international workforce solutions partner specializing in international mobility, relocation, and immigration. The firm operates across 11 countries spanning 4 continents and maintains a team of 150 employees across 25 nationalities, with 75.5 percent of the workforce female. The firm was created in 2012 and has grown through a series of acquisitions and geographic expansions over the succeeding years. Anywr's Switzerland office is based in Geneva. The firm operates internationally but positions itself as having local expertise in each market through on-the-ground teams, making it relevant for someone relocating to Switzerland as part of an internationally coordinated move or through an employer already in Anywr's network.

The firm positions itself as having more than 10 years of experience supporting companies and employees in international mobility challenges. Its scope extends across relocation, immigration, taxation, and HR policy work. This positions Anywr as a B2B and B2E (business-to-employee) player: it works with companies managing the mobility of their workforce internationally and with those employees navigating their own moves.

The offer for individuals and employees

Anywr's relocation service is framed around making international relocation "quick and painless." The firm states it "accompanies salariés et entreprises" (salaried employees and companies) in relocation, immigration, and tax matters "partout dans le monde" (everywhere in the world). For an individual employee being transferred internationally, or an employee considering an international move, Anywr sits between the employer's HR function and the logistics of the relocation itself. The firm combines expertise from its 150-person team across 25 nationalities, giving it an internal cross-cultural perspective.

The firm highlights 3 core challenges it addresses: identifying and moving the right talent to the right locations (a talent placement function), managing the relocation and immigration process itself, and handling the tax and administrative implications of international moves. The site's description of its mission emphasizes both the employee experience and the employer's needs: "Our challenges? Identify the best talents, understand their aspirations and align them with the expectations of companies to encourage sustainable and impactful collaborations." This framing suggests Anywr views employee satisfaction and retention as tied to successful relocation, not just logistical coordination.

For an employee relocating to Switzerland, the value Anywr offers is integration with broader HR support from an employer already in its network. If an employee's company works with Anywr, the company's relocation and visa support would flow through Anywr's processes. This integration can streamline communication and ensure consistent support across immigration, tax, and logistics. If the employee is independent, the firm also offers services to individuals, though the website's framing emphasizes employer relationships and suggests independent individuals might receive less customized attention or face different service models.

Services and service model

Anywr's service portfolio for international mobility includes relocation assistance, immigration support, and tax consultancy. The site groups these under "Mobilité Internationale" and lists them in bilingual presentations. For relocation specifically, the firm describes planning and managing family or corporate relocation. For immigration, the services cover dealing with the requirements and documentation for entering and staying in a new country. Tax consultancy addresses the fiscal implications of relocating residency internationally.

The firm also offers broader HR services: HR and payroll administration, legal assistance and compliance, corporate consulting, financial advisory, and asset management. This suggests that a company relocating an employee through Anywr might also tap these additional services, but for an individual relocating, the core relocation and immigration services are the primary entry point.

The firm is present in 11 countries: Belgium, Canada, China, Côte d'Ivoire, Spain, France, India, Luxembourg, Morocco, Netherlands, and Sweden, in addition to Switzerland. This international footprint is relevant for someone relocating from one of these countries or within this network of offices.

On pricing and engagement, the site does not publish standard rates or packages. Given Anywr's positioning as a B2B firm working primarily with companies, individual pricing is discussed directly rather than published online. The firm's emphasis on tailor-made services suggests pricing varies by scope and complexity.

What remains unaddressed

The site does not explain how an individual might engage Anywr if they are not coming through an employer already in the firm's network. The emphasis on company HR departments and workforce mobility may mean that independent individuals have fewer direct options or different pricing structures. The site does not specify what Anywr's services cost, how pricing is structured (flat fee, per-service, percentage-based on compensation, hourly), or what timeline a relocation typically takes from initial contact to completion.

There is no detail on the specific services Anywr provides post-arrival. Does the firm's scope extend to finding housing and opening bank accounts, or does it stop at visa and tax setup? The site does not clarify whether Anywr's Switzerland office has capacity dedicated to Switzerland inbound moves or whether it coordinates relocations to Switzerland across the broader network, potentially involving staff in other countries. For someone wanting pre-move research into Switzerland itself, local neighborhoods, schools, or housing options, the site does not indicate whether Anywr advises on those topics or points clients to external resources.

The site also does not specify whether the firm has direct relationships with banks, insurance providers, or housing agencies in Switzerland, or whether it helps coordinate such introductions. There is no information on the composition or experience level of the Geneva team, how many people staff it, or whether any have relocation-specific expertise versus general HR background. The site mentions "local expertise" but does not define what that means in practice or how it differs across markets. Finally, the site does not address what happens if a relocation falls through after engagement, whether there are refund or credit policies, or how disputes are handled.

Who this suits

Anywr is the strongest fit for an employee being transferred to Switzerland by an international company already using Anywr for its global mobility. If the employer has outsourced relocation and immigration to Anywr, the employee would engage through that existing relationship and benefit from integrated support across visa, tax, and logistics. The firm's emphasis on employee experience and company culture alignment suggests it is particularly suited to strategic, high-value transfers.

For an independent individual relocating to Switzerland without an employer intermediary, Anywr may be less accessible. Similarly, someone seeking to manage a relocation entirely independently without employer or HR-services involvement might find Anywr's B2B orientation a poor fit. The firm's global reach and multicultural workforce may appeal to someone relocating from one of the 11 countries in its network, but someone from outside that geographic footprint might find other options more convenient.
