Do it the right way](#hiring-people-in-other-countries-do-it-the-right-way) [Expert contributor Anthony Rose Co-Founder and CEO](https://seedlegals.com/resources/author/anthony/) [Writer Erin Deasy Junior Content Executive](https://seedlegals.com/resources/author/erin-deasy/) Sometimes you want to hire a teammate from another country – but you’re held back by the fear of triggering tricky tax liabilities that come with that region. If you’re looking for a remedy (that’s a bit less time-consuming and cost-heavy than making a local subsidiary), we’ve found just the right thing for you. Our new partner [Emerald Technology](https://www.emerald-technology.com/) is here to dissolve your overseas staffing stresses by managing talent acquisition and employer of record (EOR), from pre-seed all the way through to large private equity-backed organisations. So you can sit back and trust that your team will look exactly how you want without incurring hidden costs. Join SeedLegals CEO [Anthony Rose](https://seedlegals.com/resources/author/anthony/) as he chats to Emerald Technology Founder and CEO [Mike Jones](https://www.linkedin.com/in/mikejones10/) about the ‘middle manager’ problem in hiring, why employing too senior too fast is often bound to go south, and also how you can get your hands on a cheeky discount when you sign up to Emerald Technology. ## **Hiring people in other countries? Do it the right way** ### **Here’s the problem:** - You may kick off your business by hiring people in other countries as contractors – until their local labour laws start deeming them as an employee because of the amount of time they spend with your company. This creates tax liabilities. - Hiring someone to work on a web project for a few weeks is easily manageable with a consulting agreement, but ongoing relationships require you to set up a local subsidiary of your company – which is an expensive commitment to make. ### **Emerald Technology serves up a solution** - Emerald Technology provides an alternative, as an employer of record (EOR) that enables you to automate hiring full-time executives anywhere in the world where they don’t have entities. - Managing the payroll, compliance and benefits programmes of startups and scale-ups at all stages, they’ve seen mistakes made where people are hired because of their backgrounds in major brands like Google and Amazon, instead of their ability to execute in a fast-paced environment – and also where contractors are misclassified and hired as pseudo-employees. Emerald Technology have the skills to walk you through this and ensure your team is actually designed for your goals. - Hiring too senior too fast is also an issue – those people don’t want to get stuck in. They want to build a team of individual contributors that they can lead and that will result in greater leakage of your hard-earned investment money. Emerald Technology screens full-time employees on your behalf, ensuring they fit your brief to a tee. ### **Perks for SeedLegals customers** - With Emerald Technology on board, they’ll take care of local tax filings and healthcare and provide a safety blanket that allows your company to test out additional markets that you’re not already 100% sure of. - As a SeedLegals customer, you can now get exclusive discounts for Emerald Technology: 25% off talent acquisition if used alongside EOR, or 10% off EOR on its own. - Hire your dream team with a service provided across 160 countries, operating from project sign off to offer acceptance – Emerald Technology will make sure you’re hitting performance levels you need. ### Discover perks worth £45k+ Explore tools and services to help your startup grow - all with special discounts and offers for customers.
