RecruitGo

What is an Employer of Record (EOR)?

An Employer of Record is a third-party organization that legally employs workers on your behalf in countries where you don't have a legal entity. RecruitGo handles employment contracts, payroll, tax withholding, benefits administration, and regulatory compliance — while you retain full control over the employee's day-to-day work, responsibilities, and performance management.

How is RecruitGo different from other EOR providers?

Most EOR providers are technology platforms that rely on third-party partners to deliver services in each country. RecruitGo has operated in Southeast Asia since 2011 with dedicated local teams across the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore, Cambodia, and Pakistan. This means we have direct control over compliance, payroll processing, and employee support — not a chain of subcontractors.

Which countries does RecruitGo support?

We support hiring in 40+ countries globally. Our core markets include the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore, Cambodia, and Pakistan — where we have dedicated in-country teams. For other regions including Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, we work through carefully vetted local partners.

How long does it take to onboard a new employee?

Typically 3-5 business days from the time you approve the employment terms. This includes drafting the locally compliant contract, registering the employee with local authorities, enrolling them in statutory benefits, and providing access to our employee self-service portal.

What does the pricing look like?

In our core markets (Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore, Cambodia, Pakistan), EOR pricing is 10% of the employee's monthly payroll, with a maximum cap of USD 250 per employee per month. This means pricing starts from as low as USD 49.99 — your costs stay proportional to the role, so a junior hire costs less than a senior one. Unlike providers who charge USD 400+ flat per employee regardless of salary, our model scales with you. We provide a detailed cost breakdown within 24 hours of your inquiry.

Can I convert an EOR employee to my own entity later?

Yes. If you establish your own legal entity in a country where we currently employ your team, we support a smooth transition. We handle the offboarding from our entity and assist with the transfer of employment records, benefits continuity, and compliance documentation.

How does RecruitGo handle compliance and legal risk?

As the legal employer, RecruitGo assumes the compliance risk. We monitor regulatory changes in every jurisdiction we operate in, ensure all employment contracts meet local requirements, process statutory contributions on time, and maintain proper documentation. Our in-country legal teams stay current with labor law updates and adjust processes accordingly.

Do I maintain control over my employees' day-to-day work?

Yes, completely. You manage your team's day-to-day work — assignments, schedules, goals, and performance reviews. RecruitGo handles the employment infrastructure: contracts, payroll, tax filings, and compliance. Think of us as your back-office employment partner, not a staffing agency.
