Pricing
We do not reprint prices. They change too often for that to be honest, and a number on our page with no date is worse than sending you to the source.
How we rated it
What it is
Hiring and paying people in other countries: employer of record, contractor management, payroll, and the compliance that goes with each jurisdiction.
Who it is for
Companies employing people abroad without setting up a legal entity there.
Where it is strongest
Hiring one person in a country where you have no presence. Doing that properly yourself means a local entity, an accountant and a lawyer, which is why this exists.
Where it falls short
Expensive per person — it only makes sense below a certain headcount per country. You are placing employment compliance with a third party. And employees are formally employed by someone else, which some people dislike.
Our verdict
Recommended for a handful of international hires. Past a few people in one country, setting up an entity is cheaper and you regain control.
