Streamline your HR function to accelerate M&A deals

Speed is critical for success with any merger and acquisition. Too many M&A deals fail from a lack of communication and HR expertise. Without specific experience in these deals, HR leaders may struggle to navigate operational challenges, such as:
  • Complying with requirements in markets where they have little knowledge
  • Integrating new systems with limited runway
  • Supporting a new workforce and training them on new processes
Our team of experts helps you stay on time, in control and in compliance with local regulations.
With EOR, our employer of record solution, we assume responsibility for all labor, payroll and tax requirements for acquired workers, enabling you to keep them employed while you work to set up the required entities.
With Payroll 360, we give you centralized data and compliant payroll processing capabilities in 150+ countries without overhead, so you can quickly integrate acquired workers into a standardized payroll process while keeping an eye on global workforce spend.

Our team includes legal, tax, accounting, HR and payroll professionals in 170+ countries. We’re available to help in the local time zone and language to ensure day 1 readiness for your M&A.

Experience and expertise ensure reliable results

Consolidating various metrics and technologies is the only way to ensure standardized accountability measures. We provide a single dashboard for visibility into labor costs and operations for your entire international workforce.

Overcome the challenges of hiring international employees with our EOR solution

Hire remote workers in their home country

If your best talent live and work in a foreign country where you don’t have an entity, we can help you employ them remotely—wherever they are—so you don’t miss out on the value they bring to your organization.

Convert your independent contractors to employees

Your independent contractors could put you at risk of noncompliance if their scope of work falls within the local definitions for employees. We can help you avoid employee misclassification by hiring them on your behalf, even if you don’t have an entity in the country.

Hire international workers for your NGO or nonprofit

As a nongovernmental organization or nonprofit, you often have a limited or regulated budget for advancing your mission around the world—and no room for the cost of entity establishment or the risk of noncompliance. We can help you add the workers you need, in the countries you need them, or convert your contractors to employees, quickly and compliantly.

Hiring for NGO and nonprofitsArrow
Hire employees while you set up an entity

Setting up a foreign entity is usually a long and arduous process. If you’ve identified a country critical to your growth plan and need employees right away, we can get them up and running in days, employing them on your behalf while you build your entity. When your entity is established, we can then seamlessly transfer them to your direct employment.

Employ workers during M&A activity

During an international acquisition, you may gain a workforce in a new country, but not the business entity, so you don’t have a way to compliantly pay your new employees. We can help you compliantly pay them until you set up your in-country entity.

Hire remote faculty for a college or university

Remote learning has made it possible to attract faculty, researchers and grad students from around the world. But sometimes they may be unable or unwilling to move to the U.S. for work. We can help you hire them as remote workers in their home country, so you can retain top academic talent semester after semester.
