Employer of Record · Global Staff Augmentation

Hire a Dedicated Team Anywhere.
Skip the Foreign Entity.

We become the legal employer abroad — handling payroll, local taxes, and labour law — while your new full-time hire works from our managed office and reports directly to you. No entity to open. No contractor risk.

Based in Dubai. Built for the world.

The problem

Great talent abroad.
No safe way to hire it.

You found them — but can't hire them

The right person is in another country. Without a legal entity there, you have no compliant way to put them on payroll.

Contractors are a compliance time bomb

Misclassification can trigger penalties of tens of thousands per worker — and a contractor can walk mid-project with no notice.

A foreign entity is slow and costly

Standing up a legal entity, local payroll, and HR in another country is months of work and ongoing overhead — for just one or two hires.

Your setup may not survive an audit

If your current arrangement was reviewed tomorrow, would it hold up? Most informal contractor setups quietly wouldn't.

How it works

Three layers.
One simple arrangement.

We take on the legal employer, the workspace, and the operations — so you can simply manage the work.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What is an Employer of Record (EOR)?

An EOR is a company that legally employs someone on your behalf in their country. We hold the local employment contract and handle payroll, tax, and labour-law compliance — while the person works for you day to day.

Do I need to open an entity in their country?

No. That's the whole point. You get a compliant, full-time hire without registering a foreign company, setting up local payroll, or building a local HR function.

Who manages the day-to-day work?

You do. The hire is a dedicated, full-time extension of your team — you set priorities, tools, and hours. We handle the employment and the workspace behind the scenes.

What about compliance and labour law?

It sits with us. Local contracts, payroll, tax filings, and statutory requirements are our responsibility — so your setup is built to hold up under scrutiny, not just to look fine until it's audited.

Is this the same as hiring a contractor?

No. A contractor is self-employed and can be re-classified as an employee — which is where the penalties come from. With us, the person is a properly employed, full-time team member from day one.

How fast can we start?

Typically weeks, not months — far faster than standing up your own entity. The exact timeline depends on the role and country. Talk to us and we'll map it out.
