When Global Employment Outsourcing services are right for you
Remote teams and cross-border employment
If your best talent live and work in a foreign country where you don’t have an entity, we can help you employ them remotely-wherever they are-so you don’t miss out on the value they bring to your organization.
Entity stopgap
Setting up a foreign entity is usually a long and arduous process. If you’ve identified a country critical to your growth plan and need employees right away, we can get them up and running in as little as two weeks, employing them on your behalf while you build your entity.
Independent contractor conversion
Your independent contractors could put you at risk of noncompliance if their scope of work falls within the local definitions for employees. We can help you avoid employee misclassification by hiring them on your behalf, even if you don’t have an entity in the country.
NGO mission extension
Nongovernmental organizations with missions to carry out around the world rely on us to add workers to new countries quickly and compliantly. When you don't have to worry about the cost and risk of establishing global entities, your NGO has more resources to further your cause.
Remote faculty employment for higher ed
Now that remote learning has become a norm, foreign educators may be unable or unwilling to move to the U.S. for work. We can help your college or university hire faculty remotely, in their home country, so you can retain top academic talent semester after semester.
Acquisition facilitation
During an international acquisition, you may gain a workforce in a new country, but not the business entity, so you don’t have a way to compliantly pay your new employees. We can help you compliantly pay them until you set up your in-country entity.
GEO for workers
We give global workers the flexibility to thrive

Global Employment Outsourcing FAQs
What is a global employer of record (EOR)?
An EOR is a company that has a network of entities around the world to compliantly employ and pay workers on behalf of clients.
They provide client companies a way to quickly hire workers in new international markets without the cost and risk of establishing an entity in a foreign country.
How is an EOR different from a professional employer organization (PEO)?
Although they are similar, the key difference between an EOR and a PEO is the entity requirement and shared legal responsibility for employees.
Traditionally, PEOs are co-employment arrangements, meaning both the PEO and the client company must have a registered entity in the country where the employees are located—and both organizations share legal responsibility for employees.
With an EOR, there is no shared legal responsibility for employees or entity requirement for client companies. An EOR, like Global Employment Outsourcing, is the preferred method for companies looking to onboard international employees quickly and compliantly.
When should you use an EOR?
If you’re involved with your organization’s global expansion planning, you know there’s a lot to consider. When a lack of speed or local HR expertise are among your organization’s top concerns, an EOR may be the best option for achieving your global growth objectives.
