About Emerald Technology

EMERALD TECHNOLOGY

Hire, payroll and onboard in one place.

Emerald Technology are a global expansion partner, that supports B2B tech companies in finding the right talent for their business no matter where in the world, while compliantly hiring and payrolling international talent using their global entities and local experts.

Our services cover Talent Acquisition, Employer of Record and a complete End-To-End Solution.

Emerald Technology solve two of the biggest challenges that vendors face when expanding.

We find the best talent in the market and we can hire anyone, anywhere, so having no entity is no problem. We handle local payroll, taxes, benefits and compliance in every region you want to expand to.

1. Finding the right talent for your business

It is proven that the average cost of making a bad decision in the hiring process is 30% of the hire's salary, which is a significant expense. You need to consider recruiting and onboarding costs, opportunity and productivity losses and the cultural impact on the rest of the team.

Our Global Talent Acquisition Service enables our clients to achieve the tipping point to success; whether they need to grow, transform, or diversify their human capital.

2. Compliantly hiring and payrolling without an entity

Widening your talent pool on an international scale allows your business to find the best talent, but poses compliance risks for companies with little experience in expansion.

To hire and provide compliant contracts, you must have a local entity. This can be very costly, risky and time-consuming, especially in regions that you are not familiar with.

Emerald is an EOR with a global footprint of entities that you can utilise to enter new markets to test your product-market fit and hire international employees despite where they are in the world. We handle hiring, onboarding, payrolling, taxes, work permits and benefits.

With our completely human centric onboarding process, we tailor our onboarding to each employee based on the needs of our clients. Our dedicated customer success team is available 24/7.

We ensure each payment is made on time, anywhere, in the right currency every time, guaranteed.

We take responsibility for employment liability of employees to ensure compliance every time.

We provide Global Payroll, HR, Compliance and Recruitment for companies of any size.
