Global employment, or international employment, is the ability to employ, pay, and manage talent based in other countries. For example, if your business primarily operates in Canada, a global employment platform would enable your teams to hire and pay contractors and full-time Team Members located in other parts of the world.
An Employer of Record (EOR) legally employs talent on your behalf in countries where you don't have an entity — handling payroll, taxes, benefits and compliance while you manage the day-to-day work.
Distributed hiring widens the talent pool for employers and gives knowledge workers access to opportunities regardless of where they live — shifting competition from local to global, role by role.
Not if they work from their home country. A visa is only needed when the employee physically relocates. With an EOR, team members are employed compliantly right where they already live.
