What is Employer of Record (EOR)

Home / HR Glossary terms / Employer of Record (EOR)

The fastest way to hire someone in a new country without the bureaucratic nightmare of setting up a legal entity there. An EOR acts as the official employer on paper, handling all the local payroll, taxes, and compliance headaches. It's a powerful tool for scaling a global team, but you still need your own central HR system to manage everyone as one cohesive company.
