Switching back to a one-vendor solution improves time-to-hire

Employer of Record (EOR) gives employers the ability to hire quickly and compliantly in countries where they don't have an entity and enables employees to work in ways that meet their own needs.

Here's an example of how flexible, people-centric work is a win-win for employers and employees.

Challenge

Faster hiring in more countries for a globally dispersed team

Facing budgetary pressure, a Safeguard Global customer switched half their EOR employees to a competitor, only to come back two years later. This US-based, midsized media production company with an internationally distributed team sought a single-vendor solution across all the countries in which they have employees.

Solution

A single EOR vendor

The Safeguard Global team implemented a dynamic plan that allowed us to:

• Provide revised EOR pricing for the retained headcount

• Enable faster onboarding through a Master Services Agreement (MSA) that allows the company to hire in a new country without the need for a contract addendum

• Maintain a consistent employee and stakeholder experience during the transition

• Support efficient onboarding of new hires via EOR

Results

Fully compliant employment, fast

Our customer can now grow their globally distributed workforce without worrying if their EOR provider can support quick hiring in a new country. With Safeguard Global, onboarding friction has been completely eliminated. When our customer finds a potential employee who has the media production skills they need, they can hire immediately, even in countries where they don’t have a legal entity, and without needing a contract addendum to their MSA.
