Why we started

There are dozens of platforms for hiring abroad, but which one's right for you?

When we needed to hire internationally, we spent weeks trying to understand the difference between EOR, PEO, and global payroll. Every website was a sales pitch. Nothing helped us actually decide.

That's why we built Employ Borderless, an independent advisory platform for global hiring solutions. Clear, honest information to help you figure out which solution fits your needs. We don't sell services. We just help you make the right choice.

The problem

Hiring abroad is confusing, even for experienced HR teams

You found someone great in another country. Now you're wondering: do I need to set up a local company? Can I just pay them as a contractor? What's an EOR? Here's what you're dealing with.

You can't just hire them

Without a legal entity in their country, you can't put them on payroll or offer proper benefits.

The options are confusing

Set up your own entity? Use an EOR? PEO? Global payroll? Each works differently and costs vary wildly.

Every provider says they're best

50+ companies, all with different pricing models, and every website reads like a sales pitch.

You just want to hire your person

All this research takes weeks. Time you'd rather spend actually working with your new team member.

That's why we built this

We went through the same confusion. So we did the research, reviewed the providers, and put it all in one place. Free and without the sales pitch.
