Questions to ask before you choose a global employment solution, including us:
Are the entities legally owned by the provider?
Some global employment solutions work with third-party vendors who own entities, which can be risky and add to the complexity. Multiplier has its own local entities across APAC, Europe, Africa, and the Americas. Our local presence and expertise span over 150 countries worldwide.
How quickly do the customer support/success teams respond?
An EOR provider with quick support turnaround time means quick resolution for your global employees as & when the need arises. Speedy responses also facilitate faster decision-making to hire and employ in newer regions/countries.
Can I employ and manage permanent employees and freelancers/contractors alike?
When it comes to managing employees and freelancers, you need not have to run after multiple solutions. Multiplier’s platform supports employment and administering benefits for employees and freelancers/contractors.
Can I entrust the provider with sensitive employee information?
While working with third-party partners who own legal entities, your employee data is exposed and can be unsafe. Oyster HR does not prioritise owning entities & therefore operates via external partners. On the other hand, Multiplier owns legal entities & complies with some of the toughest privacy laws around the globe, making the platform 100% safe and secure to use.
