Hiring through an employer of record facilitates international expansion in several ways. By outsourcing global hiring to an EOR, you can: Save time and money on hiring international employees Avoid employee misclassification and non-compliance penalties and fines Increase access to the best candidates when hiring from the global talent pool Human Resources department reduces repetitive, labor-intensive manual tasks Enhance employee data security by working with a reliable partner Improve employee experience with diverse, localized perks Adapt to the future of work and hiring trends Streamline post-merger talent integration “Take a country like France. If you establish an entity there, the people you hire—you’re going to have to pay pensions to them for the rest of their lives. It’s a huge liability. EOR is a great opportunity to test out new markets and make sure it works before you do invest and actually establish an entity.” — Steve Hoffman, Senior Strategic Partnerships Manager at Deel
