Hire globally, pay fewer fees

An Employer of Record (EOR) is a third-party provider that enables you to hire full-time employees in countries where you don’t have a legal entity. Through GlobalHire, you can access EOR services delivered by our partners. They handle payroll, contracts, taxes, and local compliance, while you manage the employee’s day-to-day work.

While you manage your team’s day-to-day work, GlobalHire handles the employment setup and administration through our EOR service. You set their responsibilities, working hours, goals, and career path. We take care of contracts, statutory benefits, salary payments, and local compliance, ensuring everything is handled correctly and on time.

GlobalHire is a platform provided by Revolut that enables businesses to manage international employment via our licensed Employer of Record (EOR) partners.

Through the GlobalHire platform, you can access a range of services delivered by our partners, including:

• Drafting and executing locally compliant employment contracts
• Processing payroll and tax filings
• Oversight on employee's paid time off and leave requests
• Social Security, pension, and statutory benefits administration
• Optional benefits included
• IP and confidentiality protections
• Onboarding, offboarding, and compliant terminations

All employment-related services, including payroll and statutory compliance, are performed by our licensed Partner. Revolut Ltd does not act as an employer.

Contractors and EOR employees differ in legal status and associated risks.

Hiring through an Employer of Record (EOR) means the individual becomes a full employee under local labour laws, with access to statutory benefits, legal protections, and full compliance. This is ideal for long-term, full-time roles where you want stability and control. With GlobalHire, EOR hiring is simple, fast, and compliant, and you don't need to set up a local entity.

Hiring contractors means the individuals are self-employed and not entitled to employee protections like paid leave or severance. You can engage them directly without an EOR, but misclassifying someone working full-time hours under your direction may lead to compliance risks and penalties.

It’s ideal for entering a market quickly, scaling a remote team, or hiring internationally in a compliant way. You can use GlobalHire to hire talent in a new country without setting up a local entity or subsidiary.

For example, if you're based in Germany and want to hire a developer in Colombia, GlobalHire helps you onboard them locally, quickly, and without the overhead.

Staffing agencies place workers from their own candidate pool into client businesses, often for short-term or temporary roles. The worker is typically employed by the agency.

With GlobalHire, you source the talent directly. We provide the infrastructure to facilitate compliant, full-time employment through our global EOR service. This allows you to build long-term team under your brand and leadership, while we manage the local compliance.

In most countries, we can onboard your new employee in as little as 1 business day. Once you confirm the offer details and the employee completes their onboarding steps, such as uploading documents and signing the contract, we'll handle everything else. Our onboarding team works closely with both you and the hire to ensure a smooth and fast start.

Through our EoR partners, GlobalHire helps ensure that employee benefits comply with local laws, including healthcare, retirement, paid leave, and social security. Benefits vary by country, and our partners' local experts will guide you through what’s mandatory and what’s optional.

Termination procedures differ significantly by country. Through our EOR partners, GlobalHire ensures that each termination follows local labour laws, from notice periods and severance calculations, to final pay and documentation.

We handle the admin, so you can stay compliant and minimise legal risk. You'll receive step-by-step guidance throughout the process.

You can, but you’ll need to either establish a local legal entity in the country or engage the worker as a contractor.

Each option has trade-offs. Setting up an entity can be slow and expensive, while hiring contractors comes with compliance risks if the role resembles full-time employment.

GlobalHire offers a faster, fully-compliant alternative through our EOR service.

Yes, EORs are a legally recognised employment model in most countries.

When hiring internationally, it’s critical to ensure that all work, inventions, and ideas produced by your employees are legally assigned to your company. GlobalHire ensures IP ownership passes to you by using locally-compliant contracts that include IP and confidentiality clauses.

These agreements are reviewed and adapted to each country’s legal standards. While we work with licensed global partners, all contracts are centralised under a single global framework. This ensures you retain full ownership of your intellectual property, no matter where your team is based.
