Emerald Technology: Shedding the overseas staffing stresses with EOR

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 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 as he chats to Emerald Technology Founder and CEO Mike Jones 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.
