Lisbon, work, relocation

Work in Lisbon in your language: relocation, housing and a signing bonus.

A real job at an international company in sunny Portugal: customer service, content moderation and other roles for well-known tech brands. The company helps with the move, the paperwork and a place to live.

This page is run by me, a Teleperformance employee, not a recruiter or an agency. I refer candidates through the internal referral program: you get a job (often with a signing bonus too), I get a referral bonus. That's the deal.

What the job is

Teleperformance recruits for many projects for international brands at the same time. The specific openings change constantly, but the roles usually fall into a few categories.

Main types of roles

  • Customer service: helping users by email, chat or phone
  • Content moderation: reviewing content on platforms against guidelines, a common start with no experience
  • Technical support: helping with product or account issues
  • Plus sales and interpreting roles, depending on current openings

What you need

  • 18+ and the right to work in the EU
  • A conversational level of a language in demand (Italian, German, Dutch, Danish, Norwegian, Polish or Ukrainian) plus working English (trainings are in English)
  • Basic computer skills and good communication are a plus
  • Most roles require no prior experience or degree

Your language is your asset

One language is enough to start. The company is currently hiring Italian, German, Dutch, Danish, Norwegian, Polish and Ukrainian speakers. Every extra language means more projects to choose from and a higher rate. The more languages you speak, the better.

More than a job

Think of it as a working Erasmus: you move to one of Europe's sunniest capitals with the job, housing and paperwork already sorted, work in an international English-speaking environment, and take your career's first step abroad without burning through your savings.

Work mode

Depends on the project. Teleperformance's main offices in Portugal are in Lisbon and Porto.

Relocation and housing

This is the core of why this job makes sense if you want to move.

Relocation support

Teleperformance helps with the move, and also with legal registration in the country and taxes. It can offer a room in a furnished company apartment (kitchen, living room, internet). Utilities are covered by the company and the 200 € monthly room cost is deducted from your salary. Usually cheaper than renting on your own.

Or your own place

You can skip the company room. Then you get roughly 200 € more in hand every month, but you find housing yourself. The company room is usually the easier start if you don't know anyone in Portugal.

Flight reimbursement: the company reimburses your flight to Portugal, usually after about 9 months of work.

How much you can earn

The range grows with bonuses, the company room and an extra language.

1100–1600 €net / month

What affects the amount

Company room Performance bonus Extra language

Signing bonus and loyalty bonus

Some projects also offer a signing bonus plus a loyalty bonus, together up to 3000 € (as of August 2026). It depends on the project, the recruiter will give you the details at the meeting.

Benefits

Health insurance from day 1 Meal card (154 €) Christmas and holiday allowance 22 days of paid leave

Net amounts, approximate.

Contract and path

1

Training: 4 weeks, in English. Integration into the team, training on the systems and the client's product, customer-management training for phone, email and chat, then on-the-job practice with a trainer.

2

A 12-month contract. You sign it after passing recruitment, with a short probation period at the start. After that it simply gets renewed.

3

After 2 years, employment becomes a permanent contract. The standard path.

Honestly: pros and cons

+
Sun, the ocean and a city you actually want to live in.
+
You work in your language plus English; no Portuguese needed to start.
+
Relocation help and a room from day one, so you have a place to live right away.
+
The salary lets you live comfortably, travel around Portugal and gain experience.
+
Experience at a global company working with well-known tech brands, a solid CV entry.
Some projects have rotating shift schedules, though not all.
It's a good start and a springboard, not a dream career.
You work under KPIs and metrics, and it can get repetitive.

What to expect

This is the path from leaving your CV to arriving in Portugal. The first step happens here, with me.

1. Send your CV here

You upload your CV and leave your contact details on this page. That's all you need to do to start.

2. I submit you at the company

I pass your CV through Teleperformance's internal employee portal.

3. The company contacts you

A recruiter reaches out, tells you about the company and the next steps.

4. Short online tests

A check of your language and basic skills.

5. Phone interview

If you pass the tests, you talk to a recruiter.

6. Offer and relocation

If it works out, you sign the contract and organise the move. The company helps with the flight and housing.

In practice: they call or email you to set up an info call. Use it to ask about currently available projects and bonuses, specifically the signing bonus and the loyalty bonus. Then there are 2 online tests, and finally a phone interview with a recruiter. All very doable :) Write to me if anything is unclear.

Want me to refer you?

There are two ways. Both count as my referral.

⏳ Apply as soon as possible — there are currently openings and good bonuses available.

1. Apply yourself with my link

Choose the language of the offer and fill in the official Teleperformance form. The referral works automatically through the link, nothing extra to fill in. Your CV has to be in English, whichever language you pick.

2. Leave your CV with me

I'll submit you through Teleperformance's internal employee portal. The form is in Polish, but you can fill it in with your details in English.
