‘Noray Science Group uses Bizkaia Talent’s job exchange and relocation services. Through Bizkaia Talent we have been able to post our job offers and find highly qualified Basque scientists and technologists who were living outside the Basque Country.

’Besides, Bizkaia Talent invited us to the workshop held in Barcelona to contact and engage Basque scientists working in the field of bioscience in that city. Bizkaia Talent represented us employers at the MIT Fair in Boston and at ESOF in Turin, Italy. However, what we appreciate the most is the relocation service. In November 2009, Histocell hired a biomaterials engineer, Scott Rapoport, an expert in biotechnology hailing from USA, and had to deal for the first time with all the legal procedures required to hire a non-EU citizen.

’Bizkaia Talent continued assisting us so that the American scientist could adapt naturally to his new environment in Bizkaia, getting to know the local culture and weather, the tourist attractions, the administrative procedures at the town hall, the health service system, driving licence validation and, most importantly, accommodation.’
