Why should you consider hiring with an umbrella company? Consider the following ways in which global hire may appeal to a company:
There are well-recognized skill shortages in North America and Europe, especially when it comes to technology and senior management roles. Hiring with an umbrella company can help fill those skills gaps.
Hiring overseas is an important part of any international expansion. An umbrella company can streamline that process. Staff based overseas will understand local market dynamics, regulations and compliance in a more robust way.
Many companies benefit from having a workforce based in specific locations or time zones. This ensures that there are team members around to support customers and other team members in any part of the world, at any time.
For many international businesses, their clientele are themselves international. This means that it can be important to have staff that speak internationally important languages such as Mandarin or Spanish. Hiring with an umbrella company is a straightforward way of achieving a team with these capabilities.
Having employees in multiple overseas locations makes the business more resilient against any issues that affect some employees. An umbrella company can help you mitigate liabilities specific to one location.
Hiring in countries with a lower cost-of-living can save global companies money. Umbrella companies allow you to hire and scale at a fraction of the cost of entity establishment.
