OUR FAVOURITE EORS
We don’t rank employers of record. They’re built differently, so a score would compare apples and oranges. Instead we check every one against the same things and tell you who each is best for.

FROM OUR OWN EXPERIENCE
Before EORwise, we were on both sides: employed through EORs in several countries, and now hiring through one.
Employed in 4 countries
Austria, the UAE, Latvia and Cyprus, each through an EOR.
Hiring in Bangladesh
Our own first hire through an EOR. In progress now.
Moving to the UAE
Work visa and residency handled through the EOR.
A mass layoff
We went through one while employed through an EOR.
A bankruptcy
We saw how fast an EOR can turn tough when the hiring company went under.
Health cover abroad
Used the EOR’s international health insurance when having a baby abroad.
Office space
Got an office arranged through the EOR.
Laptop and equipment
Got a work laptop arranged through the EOR.
GLOBAL FAVOURITES
Unranked. Each is strong for a different kind of company, and the line under each name says which.
REGIONAL FAVOURITES
Global names that are strong in the region, plus local specialists we’d put on a shortlist there.

Some EORs pay us a referral fee if you sign with them through us. It never decides who is on this page.
