Employer of Record
You've found your person. We'll set them up properly.
We handle the contract, pay and HR administration. The work stays yours to lead.
Contracts and payroll, for someone you already know
Sometimes the hard part is behind you. You've met someone great, perhaps through your own network, and you want them on the team. They live in another country, though, and you have no company there.
As your Employer of Record, we handle the formal side on your behalf: the contract, pay, leave and HR administration. You lead their work the same way you lead everyone else's.
A good match for
- Companies that have already chosen their person and don't need recruiting
- Hires living in a country where you have no entity
- Anyone who wants the contract, pay and HR administration handled for a remote team member
Probably a different route: if the search hasn't started, look at Managed Service or Direct Hire. If you already have a company and payroll in their country, you can hire them directly yourself.
Getting your hire set up
- 1
Share the details. Their role, where they live and the intended start date, plus the terms you've discussed with them.
- 2
Contract and checks. We draw up the contract and run background and reference checks.
- 3
Onboarding. Pay is set up and your hire joins the client app, so you can see their time and reports.
- 4
Each month after. We run payroll, leave and HR. You set the work and approve timesheets.
A monthly fee, with pay at cost
Costs vary with the role and where your hire lives, and we set them out once we know both. Billing is a monthly fee per person, with your hire's pay passed through at cost.
The fee covers:
- Their contract, pay and HR administration
- Monthly payroll, leave and public holidays
- Background and reference checks
- Everyday HR support for your hire
- The client app, with tracked time, timesheets, reports and invoices
Main factor in the fee: where your hire lives.
