What is Employer of Record (EOR)?

An Employer of Record (EOR) is a third-party company that legally hires and manages employees on behalf of another business. With an EOR, companies can hire talent in foreign countries, such as hiring Filipinos, without setting up a local entity. It streamlines HR and legal processes, allowing businesses to focus on their core operations.

Our team takes care of approvals, regulatory requirements, and setup planning to ensure everything is done accurately and within the permitted scope. With us, your office setup is efficient, compliant, and ready to operate without unnecessary delays.
