Where people get stuck

An employment start is more than an appointment.

Contract termsStart date, role description, probation, notice and compensation affect later choices.

Authority sequenceEntry status, residence appointment, registration and documents have dependencies.

Employer handoverHR often needs insurance, tax and bank details before payroll can settle.

“My employer gave me a checklist, but it did not explain which item blocked another. The session helped me ask HR for the corrected role description before my appointment.”— Elena, mechanical engineer relocating to Berlin

A bounded service

Advice without false promises

Codepilotbase provides employment onboarding information and structured preparation. We do not represent clients before authorities, guarantee a residence decision, or replace advice from a German lawyer or tax adviser.
