Global EOR Employer of Record Services - Talent Expansion

What Is a Global EOR (Employer of Record)?

A Global Employer of Record (EOR) is a valuable solution for expanding businesses seeking to seamlessly expand their talent pools to other countries — without setting up legal entities in foreign countries.

A Global EOR is a strategic solution for businesses with a hybrid workforce. These organizations use an EOR to simplify the process of adding an employee located in a different country to their operations.
EOR service providers provide essential HR and legal compliance tasks on your behalf, such as payroll processing, tax withholding, and benefits administration, for foreign employees.
Hiring managers can tap into a diverse talent pool worldwide. IsoTalent is a unique recruitment and EOR hybrid — we can both find the talent and manage employment and onboarding processes in different countries.
A Global EOR allows businesses to swiftly enter new markets and improve core operations while leaving HR and compliance matters to the experts.
This solution offers flexibility and scalability, allowing businesses to scale their international operations without the administrative burdens of handling local employment regulations.

How does a global EOR facilitate international hiring for my business?

Global EORs have established legal entities in multiple countries, enabling them to act as the official employer of record for your multinational employees. They're part of your team, but we handle the bureaucracy and legalities.
An EOR handles all administrative tasks, including payroll, taxes, benefits, and compliance, allowing your company to focus on core business operations.
By leveraging global networks and industry expertise, EORs efficiently navigate local labor markets and cultural nuances to facilitate smooth international hiring.

What legal and compliance responsibilities does a Global EOR handle?

A Global EOR takes on the legal and compliance responsibilities of a traditional employer, ensuring adherence to local labor laws and regulations in each country of operation.
They manage payroll processing, tax withholdings, employee benefits, and statutory contributions as per local requirements.
Additionally, they handle employment contracts, work permits, visa applications, and other documentation necessary for compliant hiring.

Can a Global EOR help us access a diverse talent pool in different countries?

While most EORs do not include candidate sourcing, IsoTalent offers a unique agency hybrid: recruitment and international advisory and EOR solutions. This global model broadens your access to a diverse talent pool worldwide by supporting recruitment and employment efforts in multiple countries.
Our team has local knowledge and robust pipeline connections, enabling us to identify qualified candidates suited to your business needs and cultural fit.
With IsoTalent's global recruitment and EOR solutions, your organization can attract and hire top talent globally, fostering a dynamic and multicultural workforce.

How does a Global EOR ensure compliance with local labor laws and regulations?

Global EORs have in-depth knowledge of the labor laws and regulations in each country they operate, ensuring full compliance with employment and tax requirements.
They regularly monitor changes in local laws and adapt their processes accordingly to avoid legal risks.
By acting as the legal employer, they assume the responsibility of staying up-to-date with evolving regulations, allowing your business to operate confidently in foreign markets.

What level of control does my company retain over the hiring and management of international employees with a Global EOR?

While the Global EOR handles administrative and compliance aspects, your company retains operational control over the daily management and tasks of international employees. These are YOUR team members; we simply take care of the distracting, time-consuming aspects of employment and compliance.
You have complete authority over the employees' job assignments, performance evaluations, team communications, and work-related decisions.
This partnership allows your company to focus on strategic business objectives while leaving HR and legal complexities to the EOR's expertise.

What you Should Know About Multinational Hiring

In today's interconnected world, multinational hiring has become essential for businesses operating on a global scale. Embracing diversity in the workforce not only enhances a company's reputation but also fosters innovation, creativity, and adaptability. As a hiring manager, understanding the significance of multinational hiring, along with its challenges and opportunities, is crucial for building a harmonious and inclusive work environment.

Challenges and Opportunities of Multinational Hiring

Communication Differences:
Diverse cultural backgrounds may result in varied communication styles, leading to potential misunderstandings and misinterpretations. However, effective cross-cultural communication can strengthen collaboration and team cohesion.
Cultural Norms and Values:
Different cultural norms and values can impact work behaviors, ethics, and decision-making processes. Embracing these differences can enrich problem-solving and decision-making within the organization.
Adapting to New Environments:
Employees from different countries may require support in adjusting to a new work environment, including language barriers and cultural adjustments. Providing cross-cultural training and resources can facilitate their integration.

What Is a Global PEO? Is It the Same as an EOR?

Like an EOR, a Global Professional Employer Organization (PEO) is a comprehensive HR and employment solution that allows businesses to expand their operations internationally without establishing legal entities in foreign countries. "EOR" and "PEO" can often be interchangeable terms, as a Global PEO acts as the employer of record for the company's foreign employees — managing all HR, payroll, benefits, and compliance responsibilities on behalf of the business. With a Global PEO or EOR, companies can access global talent, streamline international hiring, and navigate complex employment regulations in various countries. This arrangement enables businesses to focus on core operations while leaving HR complexities to the experts.

Similarities between Global PEO and EOR

HR and Compliance Support: Both Global PEOs and EORs offer valuable HR and compliance support for international operations. They handle payroll processing, tax withholding, benefits administration, and legal compliance, ensuring companies remain legally compliant in foreign markets.
Seamless International Expansion: Both solutions facilitate seamless international expansion for businesses, allowing them to enter new markets without the need to establish legal entities in each country.
Access to Global Talent: With a global EOR like IsoTalent, both Global PEOs and EORs offer access to a diverse talent pool worldwide, enabling companies to hire qualified candidates from different countries.

A Global EOR or PEO typically refers to establishing legal entities in multiple countries and acting as the employer of record for the business, or acting as the employer of record for the company's foreign employees without creating separate entities. The EOR/PEO organization manages the HR and compliance aspects while the company retains control over the employees' daily tasks and operations.

Benefits of a Global PEO or EOR

Simplified International Hiring: Companies can hire and onboard foreign talent quickly and efficiently without the need for legal entity setup.
Compliance Expertise: Global PEOs and EORs have a deep understanding of local labor laws and regulations, ensuring legal compliance in various countries.
Cost-Effective Expansion: Businesses can expand into new markets without the expenses and complexities associated with establishing separate entities.

So Much More Than A PEO or EOR! IsoTalent Is Your International Recruitment Partner

Your people are your small business’s lifeblood. If you are large enough to have a full-time or part-time HR team, their time is invested in managing day-to-day operations. Or you may not yet have the need for a dedicated HR team. This leads many SMBs to seek partnership with a Professional Employer Organization (PEO) or Employer of Record (EOR). Standard PEOs ensure your HR functions are compliant and that essential items don’t slip through the cracks. Boutique PEOs add maximum value by providing on-demand HR support and tailored recruitment strategies. Let’s dive in and explore the benefits of choosing IsoTalent as your HR and international recruitment partner.

The IsoTalent Difference

Instead of sourcing a separate PEO, ERO, and recruitment partner, IsoTalent does it all. We’re a small agency, dedicated to providing people-first employment services. Our team works as an extension of your HR team, assisting you and your employees in every way we can. Where we truly shine is offering both domestic and multinational recruitment pipelines.

With the increase in hybrid teams, comes the desire to source quality candidates from around the globe. IsoTalent seamlessly implements your hybrid teams and provides on-demand access to our HR experts. Share your current challenges and international recruitment objectives and we’ll advise on a strategic plan of action.

We understand that business fluctuates, which is why you can scale our services up or down at any time. This allows for the agility you need during growth spurts and ensures you offer HR services to your employees that are competitive with larger organizations.

The EOR services in the section below

Is it faster, easier, and more cost-effective to perform these functions in-house?

As your HR team will tell you, their plates are full. Our services are less expensive than adding one or more HR professionals to your team, which is especially helpful if you only need to ramp up staffing short-term. In addition, we reduce risk by ensuring local and international compliance, which saves you from the costly fines for unintentional mistakes.

Full-Service Recruitment

Most EORs and PEOs don’t provide standard recruitment services, but we do! Our expansive network provides access to the talent you can’t reach via standard job boards. This includes candidates that are gainfully employed and exploring their options. We reach out on your behalf, boosting the credibility of your growing business.

Our process is unbiased and aligns with your Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives. DEI is one of many reasons to add international recruitment to the mix.

Don’t have a high demand for new talent? That’s not a problem. We can fill one position at a time, bulk fill in times of growth, or fill a handful of positions as they arise. We fill most positions in 40 days or less, often under 30 days. In addition to accelerating the rate at which your positions are filled, our recruitment services are tailored to improve the quality of your candidates.

Our services include:

Recruitment pipeline for every open position.
Unbiased screening process and background check.
Negotiating salary and benefits in line with your labor objectives.
Tailored onboarding, orientation, initial training, and recurrent training.
Local, hybrid, and international talent sourcing and international EOR.

Hassle-Free Global Recruitment and Advisory Services

Many small businesses love the idea of hiring international professionals but don’t want the hassle, headache, and high expense of setting up global entities. IsoTalent eliminates these hassles by functioning as your Employer of Record (EOR). This provides you with a seamless, legal, and compliant means of hiring remote talent that lives abroad, without the expense of setting up an international entity.

We talk you through the culture and customs you should be apprised of and ensure you are always compliant with international recruitment and labor laws. We can source strategically from near-shore or off-shore time zones and implement cost-savings salary arbitrage.

What is salary arbitrage?

Top talent can demand top salaries. Since the US dollar goes farther in many countries, you can offer a lucrative international salary that reduces your labor spending in US dollars. The wage you pay is equitable, so it’s a win for both you and the employee.

As your EOR, our services are clearly outlined in your HR benefits. For tax purposes, your international professionals are technically employed by us. However, per our service agreement, they are contracted to work for you. Our only role is related to your HR and international compliance needs.

EOR services include compliant:

Compensation
Holidays
Benefits & welfare
Severance & termination
Payroll tax
Employee contracts
International advisory services
All PEO services mentioned above

Ready to Supercharge Your Talent Pool With International Professionals?

HR responsibilities are more important now than ever. Globalization and hybrid workforces have candidates job searching for employment everywhere. Candidates have the luxury to be selective, but top candidates won’t be on the job market for long. On top of that, employees require quality of life and ethical alignment from the organizations they work for. To remain competitive, adding international recruitment to your toolbox is essential.

IsoTalent is a boutique agency that specializes in hybrid teams and recruitment pipelines for global expansion. We put you and your team first, optimizing the recruitment process and improving the quality of your candidates. Our team fills most positions 2 times faster than going it alone.
