How Employ Borderless checks its facts
Employ Borderless is the most accurate and in-depth independent advisory on global hiring decisions. This page shows what that rests on: where each number comes from, when we last read it, and what we do when we are wrong.
Every number on this page is counted from our records when the page loads. Each section links the page where you can check the record yourself.
We reread every pricing page each week and keep a screenshot
Every week we open the pricing page of each provider we review, compare the prices on it with the prices in our review, and save a dated screenshot. If a price is gone or has changed, a person compares the page before any review, comparison or list changes.
Since October 24, 2026 we have saved 316 weekly reads of 114 pricing pages. The latest screenshot for each reviewed provider is below. The per-provider record and the log of confirmed price changes are in the price checks.
Provider fees come from the provider's own pages
Deposits, setup fees, minimum terms, offboarding fees and currency conversion fees are stored with the provider's own sentence, the page it is on and the date we read it. When a provider states that it does not charge a fee, we store that sentence too.
We hold 81 fee records across the providers we track. 52 of them record a fee the provider states it does not charge. The clause-by-clause comparison is in EOR contract terms compared.
All country data is sourced
Minimum wage, employer contributions, leave, notice and severance are read from the government page or the law itself where one exists. Where none exists, we name the source we used. We store the passage and recheck the page on a schedule.
8,525 of the 8,901 country figures in use link to their source today. We are sourcing the rest. The full dataset and its corrections are in Global Employment Facts.
Legal entities are looked up in company registers
When a provider says it has its own legal entity in a country, we look it up in that country's company register. This is work in progress: some registers cannot be searched online, and we add countries as we go. A review shows which entities we found, which we could not confirm and which we have not been able to check yet.
341 register lookups so far: 185 found the company, 92 found no match, and 54 were in countries whose register we cannot search yet. The record is in entity verification.
Scores follow a published method and every change is logged
Ratings come from the Employ Borderless Standard. When a score moves, we record the old score, the new score and the reason.
481 score changes logged since October 28, 2026, each with its reason, in the score changelog.
Unknown stays unknown
If we have not confirmed whether a provider offers something, the page says so. It does not say “no”. A provider that publishes no price is shown as quote only, never with an estimate, and a missing price is never shown as free.
Strengths and weaknesses name where they come from
Each strength and weakness in a review comes from one of three places: the provider's own website, third-party reviews such as G2 and Reddit, or our own testing of the platform.
129 of the 224 strengths and weaknesses on our reviews carry a stored source today. We are working through the rest. Which providers we have tested hands-on is in the testing tracker.
When we are wrong, we say so
Factual errors are fixed and listed in the corrections log with the date, what the page said and what it says now. To report an error, write to hello@employborderless.com with the page and the source that shows the right figure.
