Why use an Employer of Record?That's Why.
Legal compliance and risk minimization
The international HR market is characterized by a multitude of legal requirements. From labor laws to tax regulations, these rules vary greatly from country to country. An EOR ensures that your company complies with local laws, significantly reducing the risk of fines and legal issues.
Accelerated market entry without a branch office
Establishing a subsidiary or branch in a new country is a lengthy process that involves high costs and bureaucratic hurdles. An EOR enables your company to hire and employ staff in a very short time - without the need to set up a local entity.
Cost-efficient personnel management
Managing a global workforce brings not only administrative challenges but also high costs. With an EOR, you can avoid the need for local HR resources and expensive office infrastructure, as the EOR takes over these tasks. This minimizes investments and administrative expenses.
Focus on your core business
By handing over administrative tasks to an Employer of Record, your internal HR teams can focus on strategic issues - such as employee retention, talent development and optimizing your corporate culture. At the same time, you remain fully responsible for the day-to-day operations and management of your teams.
Global recruitment without borders
By working with an EOR, you can quickly recruit talent worldwide without having to worry about the complex legal and administrative requirements of each country. This gives you access to a global talent pool and strengthens your competitiveness in international markets.
