Opening the world to talents
Your new way to attract, relocate and retain talents — from across the globe or already in Asia.
Attracting and retaining talent in Europe is expensive
High local salaries, fierce competition, and costly turnover make talent management one of your biggest expenses. What if expatriation could be part of the solution, not just a luxury?
Gross to Loaded Salary Ratio in Rich EU Countries
For every €1 in gross salary, employers pay €1.40-€1.50 in total costs due to social charges (40-50% on top of gross salary) in France, Germany, and the Netherlands.

Global Competition
Talent scarcity is the #1 business risk in 2024, making global hiring more competitive than ever
New Expectations
Top talents seek meaning, flexibility, and life-changing experiences beyond a paycheck
Outdated Benefits
Traditional benefits like health insurance and gym memberships no longer differentiate or retain talent
Short Tenure
Millennials average just 2.8 years per job — loyalty must be earned through transformative value

About Odessia
Leveraging interculturality for personal and professional transformation
Maxime
Founder & CEO
My journey through cultures shaped Odessia
After living and working across multiple countries, I experienced firsthand how immersing yourself in different cultures transforms not just your career, but who you are as a person.
The adaptability, empathy, and cross-cultural intelligence I gained became my greatest professional assets. But I also witnessed the challenges: the bureaucracy, the isolation, the complexity that often overshadows this incredible growth opportunity.
I founded Odessia to unlock this transformative power of interculturality for others — making international experiences accessible, secure, and enriching for both talents seeking personal growth and companies investing in their people.
