What businesses usually want to know.
What is an Employer of Record?

Do I need a Philippine company?
No. The purpose of the EOR model is to allow you to hire a Filipino professional without establishing your own Philippine entity.
What does the US$190 fee cover?
The US$190 monthly management fee covers standard EOR management. Optional recruitment and candidate selection support is available for US$300 one-off per placement. Salary, employer statutory contributions, 13th-month pay, benefits, allowances, equipment and other employee-specific costs are separate where applicable.
Can I use my own candidate?
Yes. If you have already found your Filipino professional, we can support the employment process through our EOR model.
