Finding the right candidate for a job has always been a complex challenge for companies. This is because candidates may have different priorities or values that don’t align with the company. This challenge becomes even more complicated with options such as outsourcing, which allow hiring people from anywhere in the world.
Not only do you have to focus on finding the best candidate for the job, but you also need to ensure compliance with local labor laws and regulations. This involves a lot of work and may be more than the human resources or business operations departments can handle. When you lack the resources or staff to manage all of these responsibilities, it’s ideal to consider partnering with an Employer of Record.
But what is an Employer of Record?
The term “employer of record” refers to a service provided by third-party companies that assume the legal responsibilities of hiring personnel on behalf of another company. This includes managing payroll, employee taxes, and benefits while ensuring compliance with local labor laws and regulations. Simply put, it permits companies to legally hire employees from a foreign country without establishing a legal entity there.
EOR simplifies the hiring process, making it quicker and more efficient, and alleviates the administrative burdens commonly associated with global expansion.

PEOs provide co-employment services, sharing employee management and legal responsibilities with the client company. They also need to be registered in the country where the employee is based.
