Establishing an entity, understanding national regulations and paying employees in a specific country can be time-consuming and expensive.

Can you use an employer of record to hire for executive roles?

Of course. Every type of employment can be covered by global EOR services, from general employees all the way up to the C-suite. This applies whether they’re working full-time, part-time or as a contractor.

When should you use an EOR?

Partnering with a global employer of record is ideal if you’re planning any sort of expansion but are uncertain whether or not you want to have a larger presence in a specific country. This is because it gives you local presence without the direct risk or hassle of managing an entity in-country.

What is the difference between EOR and PEO?

When you partner with an EOR, you can start hiring and managing payroll straight away because the EOR acts as your local registered entity. On the other hand, local entities still have to be registered before you can access any PEO functions.

Is an EOR like a staffing or recruitment agency?

No, because you’ll still be responsible for recruitment processes, even though the EOR will take care of employee services from a legal standpoint. However, we’re still able to provide local recruitment support and hiring practice advice if you feel you need it.
