A Mexico City Thrive Story: People-Centric Hiring Strategies
To remain competitive for top talent, organizations must offer employees the flexibility to work in any way, anywhere in the world.
Employer of Record (EOR) gives employers the ability to hire quickly and compliantly in countries where they don't have an entity, enabling employees to work in ways that meet their needs.
Here's an example of how flexible, people-centric work is a win-win for employers and employees.
Maria Castro Lopez has worked for Ingram Content Group since 2017, when the company hired her via Global Employment Outsourcing (GEO), Safeguard's EOR solution. She had the perfect mix of technical knowledge and skills for a customer-facing sales role, including native fluency in Spanish. Without an office in Mexico, the US-based company considered Maria for gig employment, but that route would have resulted in her losing certain benefits, as well as complicating her tax filings. In order to hire her on a permanent basis with all of the standard perks and benefits, Ingram partnered with GEO as the employer of record.
The relationship has been a win-win: Ingram Content Group nabbed the worker it had hand-picked for the job, and Maria landed a role that has allowed her to thrive in a new career.
“I wasn’t growing at my previous company,” Maria says. “GEO saved my life.”
“I’m very happy. I’ve grown this market with my boss. We’re doing great work. It wouldn’t have been possible if we hadn’t found GEO.”
