Hire employees even where you do not have your own legal entity
Do you need to hire an employee in a country where your company does not have its own legal entity? Our Employer of Record (EOR) service allows you to employ people through us without having to establish your own company in that country.
We take on the role of the legal employer and handle the employment-related, HR and payroll administration. We take care of the employment contract, payroll processing, statutory contributions and other employer obligations in compliance with local legislation.
You continue to manage the employee’s day-to-day work, define their responsibilities and objectives, and integrate them into your team.
You manage the employee’s work. We take care of their formal employment and the related administration.
How does Employer of Record work?
The principle is simple. As part of our Employer of Record service, we become the employee’s legal employer and take responsibility for the obligations associated with this role.
Our service includes:
• preparation of the employment contract and related documentation,
• employee registration and HR administration,
• payroll processing and statutory contributions,
• administration related to the employment relationship,
• fulfilment of employer obligations in accordance with local legislation,
• employee support throughout the employment relationship.
This means you do not have to set up all the processes required to employ someone in the relevant country. We handle the formal aspects of employment while the employee works as part of your team.
When should you use an Employer of Record service?
Employer of Record is particularly suitable when you already know who you want to hire but do not have your own legal entity in the country where the employee will be based.
The service can be useful when:
• you have already found a suitable employee,
• you need to employ a specialist based in another country,
• you want to employ an individual or a smaller team without establishing your own legal entity,
• you are building an international or remote team,
• you want to reduce the administrative burden associated with employment under local legislation.
We tailor the scope of the service to the specific situation, country, position, number of employees and your requirements.

Have you already found the right person, or are you still looking?
There are two ways to use our Employer of Record service, depending on where you are in the hiring process.
1. You already have someone you want to hire
You have found the right person, but you do not have your own legal entity in the country where they will be employed. We take on the role of their legal employer and handle the employment contract, payroll, statutory contributions and related HR administration.
You continue to manage their day-to-day work and their role within your team.
2. You are still looking for the right person
If you have not yet found the right employee, we can combine Employer of Record with our recruitment services.
We help you find and select a suitable candidate based on your requirements and can then arrange their formal employment through our Employer of Record service.
You can therefore choose between a standalone Employer of Record service for a candidate you have already selected or a comprehensive solution covering everything from candidate search and selection to formal employment.
