Verdict

What customers praise

Its Employer of Record (EOR) service is fully integrated, allowing companies to hire full-time employees in countries where they don't have a legal entity in under a week.

The platform can be expensive, especially the EOR service which starts at $599 per month, making it cost-prohibitive for companies hiring only one or two international employees.
