Global hiring trends show rise in Employer of Record usage

Businesses expanding internationally are increasingly utilizing Employer of Record (EOR) services to manage global talent without the need to establish local legal entities. These platforms handle complex employment laws, payroll, tax compliance, and benefits administration.

RemotePeople, which rebranded from Horizons in February 2026, offers recruitment and EOR services across more than 150 countries. Its model combines in-house recruitment with infrastructure to manage contracts and payroll, with EOR pricing starting at $199 per employee per month.

In India, EOR solutions like Multiplier are being used to help companies navigate local employment rules, statutory filings, and salary processing. These services allow businesses to focus on growth by outsourcing the administrative burdens of onboarding and compliance to providers with local expertise.
