Good fit when
You need to hire internationally before entity setup is justified.
Check carefully when
A country becomes a permanent high-headcount market where entity economics may change.
Decision rule
Map every worker by country, legal status and employing entity before selecting modules. Then price only the operating models you actually need.
Information-gain checklist
- Worker model: EOR employee, own-entity employee or independent contractor?
- Country: Is the exact product available for the exact case?
- Cost: Separate provider fees from salary, statutory employer costs and benefits.
- Workflow: Which HR, finance, identity and accounting systems must exchange data?
- Support: Who owns country-specific escalation and what response model is contracted?
