This review is based on G-P's published pricing, product, integrations and security pages (checked 15 October 2026) and on user ratings from G2, Capterra and Trustpilot.

## Summary

G-P (Globalization Partners) is an employer of record that says it can hire in 180+ countries, from $599 per employee per month, with contractor management from $39. It was founded in 2012 by Nicole Sahin and is based in Boston.

G-P is one of the oldest names in the category, and its price sits at the upper end of the range on this site: level with Deel and Atlas, below Remote and Oyster at $699. Our verdict is that it suits larger teams that want a long-established provider with a broad HR integration list, and that smaller teams paying per head will find the same core service for less.

The review covers what G-P publishes on price, coverage, integrations and security, what users say, and which situations point to a different provider. G-P rates 4.4 on G2 from 1,071 reviews and 4.3 on Trustpilot from 147.

## Verdict

- **Overall score:** 4.4 out of 5
- **Best for:** Mid-market and enterprise teams that want a long-established EOR with a broad HR integration list
- **Not ideal for:** Small teams where the monthly fee per employee decides it, or anyone who needs the employing entity confirmed upfront
- **Standout feature:** HR integrations with Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, UKG, ADP and others, plus an open API
- **Biggest limitation:** Does not state on its EOR page whether it employs through its own entities or partners

## Pros and cons

**Pros**

- Published starting prices: G-P publishes its prices: EOR from $599 per employee per month, contractors from $39 and Gia from $500 per seat.
- No minimum contract: The pricing page states no minimum contract length for EOR, and volume discounts are available.
- Broad HR integrations: G-P lists integrations with 15 tools, including Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, UKG, ADP, BambooHR and HiBob, plus an API for custom builds.
- Long track record: Founded in 2012, G-P is one of the longest-running EOR providers, with more than 1,000 reviews on G2.
- Low contractor fee: G-P Contractor starts at $39 per contractor per month, and G-P says it charges nothing in months with no invoices.

**Cons**

- Upper-range EOR price: From $599 per employee per month. RemoFirst publishes $199 for the same core service.
- Entity model not stated: The EOR page does not say whether G-P employs through its own entities or partners, so you need to ask per country.
- Hard to find information: Three of the seven G2 reviews we read mention that information inside the platform is hard to find.

## Key features

- EOR in 180+ countries: Contracts, onboarding with right-to-work checks, payroll and benefits administration, all included in the starting fee.
- Payroll in 150+ currencies: G-P pays employees in local currency through its payroll administration.
- G-P Contractor: Contractor payments in 190+ countries, from $39 per contractor per month.
- G-P Gia: An AI tool that answers HR and compliance questions, from $500 per seat per month with a 14-day free trial.
- HR integrations and API: Connections to 15 HR, payroll and sign-in tools, plus the G-P API.

## Recommendation

G-P is a good fit for:

- Mid-market and enterprise teams on Workday, SAP SuccessFactors or UKG: the integrations save re-entering employee data across systems.

- Companies that want a long-established provider: G-P has run EOR since 2012.

- Teams mixing employees and contractors: contractor payments start at $39 per month.

Consider other providers for:

- One or two hires on a tight budget: RemoFirst publishes EOR from $199 per employee per month.

- Owned entities as a requirement: Remote employs through legal entities it owns.

- Contractors only: Deel offers a Contractor of Record service that takes on classification risk.
