Hiring a talented person based in another country is not an easy job. You’ll need a legal entity, understanding of local labour laws and compliance, ability to run payroll, handle statutory benefits and more. Or... you work with an Employer of Record (EOR), like Black Piano. An EOR is a third-party business that super-powers your global expansion by legally employing workers on your behalf.

Most EORs only provide local compliance solutions, handling the legalities of contracting and payroll. Black Piano provides a much more comprehensive service, covering recruitment, hiring and HR management in over 60 countries around the world.
The key benefits of using EOR services are threefold. Firstly, to legally employ individuals in another country, you require a legal entity. Black Piano provides this in over 60 countries.
