What Is an Employer of Record (EOR) and How Does It Work?
Expanding your business into new markets? Want to hire top talent in another country without setting up a local entity? That is exactly where an Employer of Record (EOR) comes in.
At Swan Global, we offer end-to-end EOR services across 150+ countries, powered by our strategic partnership with Deel.com—the world’s leading global HR and payroll platform. Together, we enable companies to hire faster, stay compliant, and scale globally with ease.
What Is an Employer of Record (EOR)?
An Employer of Record is a third-party organization that legally employs workers on your behalf in countries where you do not have a legal entity. While your team manages day-to-day tasks, the EOR handles everything related to legal employment, compliance, and payroll.
Think of it as plug-and-play global hiring—you get the talent, while the EOR handles the red tape.
How Does EOR Work with Swan Global + Deel?
Here is how our EOR solution works in a few simple steps:
- You identify the talent you want to hire in a new country.
- Swan Global (via Deel) becomes the legal employer in that country.
- We handle:
- Employment contracts in line with local laws
- Visa sponsorships (where applicable)
- Payroll, tax withholdings, social contributions
- Benefits, bonuses, leave policies, and compliance.
- You retain full control over the employee’s work, deliverables, and performance.
- We ensure your team member is legally employed, paid on time, and compliant with all local regulations.
