Hire globally. Without setting up an entity.

Your people. Your business. One global employment partner.
Your next market shouldn't require your next entity.
Global expansion used to mean establishing a company in every country where you wanted to hire. Legal registrations. Banking. Tax accounts. Payroll infrastructure. Benefits. Accounting. Local employment requirements. Ongoing administration. Not anymore.
Nexa gives companies a simpler way to enter new markets and build international teams. Through our Employer of Record solution, you can employ talent in supported countries without establishing your own local entity. You focus on finding great people and growing your business. We help manage the global employment infrastructure behind them.

New market. New employee. No new entity required.
You manage the person. Nexa manages the employment infrastructure.
An Employer of Record, commonly called an EOR, allows a company to hire employees in a country where it does not have its own legal employment entity. The EOR serves as the employee's legal employer and manages the local employment administration. Your company continues to manage the employee's actual work. Your employee remains part of your team. We help make the international employment possible.
You manage
- Role and responsibilities
- Day-to-day work
- Goals and performance
- Compensation decisions
- Team structure
- Company culture
The EOR manages
- Local employment documentation
- Payroll administration and payroll taxes
- Statutory contributions and required benefits

Global employment shouldn't feel complicated.
The world has changed. Your customers can be anywhere. Your employees can be anywhere. Your business opportunities can be anywhere. Your employment infrastructure should be able to keep up. Nexa helps companies remove the administrative barriers that traditionally make international hiring difficult.

Global employment isn't always predictable. An employee moves. A compensation plan changes. Someone needs a visa. A company enters another market. A contractor needs to become an employee. An acquisition suddenly creates employees in countries you've never operated in before. That's when having the right global employment partner matters.
Less ticket chasing. Less vendor juggling. More answers. More visibility. One global partner.
One EOR. A world of possibilities.
First hire in a new country

Do you need an entity? Maybe. But you may not need one yet.
Opening an entity can make sense when a company has significant long-term operations and a large workforce in a particular country. But establishing an entity can also involve company registration, legal fees, tax registration, banking, payroll registration, local accounting, benefits setup, employment counsel, government filings, and ongoing corporate administration. With EOR, much of the employment infrastructure needed to hire your initial employees already exists.
Start with the infrastructure you need today. Build the infrastructure you'll need tomorrow.
EOR may make sense when:
- You're hiring your first employees in a country
- You need to hire quickly
- You're testing a new market
- You're unsure how large the local operation will become
- You're following a customer into a new market
- You've found specialized talent internationally
- You need temporary employment infrastructure
- You're integrating employees following an acquisition
Your own entity may make more sense when:
- You're establishing substantial permanent operations
- Your local workforce has grown significantly
- You require specific licenses or local commercial activities
- Your long-term employee volume makes entity ownership economically attractive
Know what a global hire costs before you make it.
A $100,000 salary doesn't necessarily mean a $100,000 employment cost. Employer taxes, statutory contributions, benefits, insurance, bonuses, leave requirements, and other employment costs vary significantly by country. Nexa helps you understand the expected cost before you hire.
Better information leads to better hiring decisions.
Where do you want to grow next?
Every market is different. Employment requirements can vary dramatically from one country to another. Nexa helps companies understand the employment considerations associated with entering new markets and hiring internationally. Your next market starts with understanding the landscape.
Explore employment considerations by country:
- Employer costs and statutory benefits
- Typical payroll requirements
- Employment agreements
- Paid leave and public holidays
- Probation periods and notice requirements
- Termination considerations
- Common employment practices
Global opportunity. Local rules.
There's no single set of employment rules for the world. Every country has its own requirements surrounding employment agreements, payroll, taxes, social contributions, working hours, paid time off, holidays, benefits, probationary periods, notice requirements, severance, termination procedures, and employee documentation.
That's why international employment requires local knowledge. You don't need to become an employment expert in every country. You need access to people who are.
Global employees are still your employees.
Where someone lives shouldn't determine the quality of their employee experience. International employees deserve professional onboarding, accurate payroll, clear communication, competitive benefits, and responsive support. Nexa helps create a consistent employment experience across your global workforce while supporting the local requirements that make every country different.
Because global employment isn't just about compliance. It's about people.
One partner for your global workforce.
International expansion can become complicated quickly. One payroll company here. An accounting firm there. A local employment provider somewhere else. Another system for contractors. Another partner for recruiting. Nexa is built around a different idea: one global relationship, and a broader workforce strategy that supports your organization as it grows across borders.

Employer of Record FAQs
What is an Employer of Record?
An Employer of Record, or EOR, is an organization that legally employs an individual on behalf of another company. This can allow a business to hire employees in countries where it doesn't maintain its own local employment entity.
Who manages the employee?
You do. Your company manages the employee's day-to-day responsibilities, performance, goals, schedule, team, and overall work. The EOR manages the applicable local employment administration.
Why would a company use an EOR?
Companies commonly consider EOR when entering new markets, hiring their first employees in another country, accessing international talent, testing a market, supporting an employee relocation, or when establishing an entity doesn't yet make operational or financial sense.
Do I need to open a company in the employee's country?
Generally, the purpose of an EOR arrangement is to provide an employment option without your company establishing its own local employment entity. Availability and requirements depend on the country and circumstances.
How much does EOR cost?
EOR pricing depends on the country, employee, employment structure, benefits, and services required. Nexa provides pricing and estimated employment costs before you move forward.
How quickly can someone be hired?
Timing varies by country and individual circumstances. Factors can include employment documentation, background requirements, employee information, benefits enrollment, immigration considerations, and local employment requirements.
Can EOR employees receive benefits?
Yes. Applicable statutory benefits are supported, and additional benefit options may be available depending on the employee's country.
Can Nexa support multiple countries?
Nexa is designed to help companies coordinate international employment across multiple markets through a more unified global approach.
Can a contractor become an employee?
Potentially. Companies sometimes use EOR when transitioning an international contractor into an employment relationship. The appropriate structure depends on the worker's country and circumstances.
What happens when an employee leaves?
Nexa helps coordinate the applicable local offboarding process, which may include notice requirements, final payroll, required documentation, statutory payments, and other employment obligations.
Can EOR help us test a new country?
Yes. This is one of the most compelling uses of EOR. Companies can build an initial team in a new market before deciding whether establishing their own permanent entity makes sense.
Your next market starts here.
The right person shouldn't be out of reach because they live in another country. And the right market shouldn't be out of reach because you don't have an entity there. Find the opportunity. Hire the people. Enter the market. Nexa helps make the employment possible.
