    EOR & outsourcing, in six answers.

    Who is this for?
    Companies hiring people in a country where they have no legal entity, and teams that want HR operations handled for them.
    What problem are you solving?
    Employment law, payroll, tax and benefits change from country to country. Setting up an entity takes months, and getting it wrong is expensive.
    What does CareerBuddy activate?
    CareerBuddy as employer of record (EOR): we become the legal employer and run contracts, payroll, tax and benefits, while your hire works for you.
    What outcome can you expect?
    Your hire starts compliantly in about 10 days, with one monthly invoice and no entity to set up.
    Why CareerBuddy?
    We employ people in 50+ countries through our own registered entities, and the same team can find the hire for you first.
