Local employment contracts
We draw up employment contracts in line with applicable legislation and local terms of employment.
Employer of Record
Have you found the right specialist in a country where you have no company of your own? We can employ the person locally and handle the employer responsibility, while the specialist works as part of your team. Through our own companies in the Nordics and India, or local partners in other countries, we help you get started without setting up your own legal entity.
The right expertise. Local employment. Less administration.
With Employer of Record (EOR), you can engage a specialist in another country without having to be the local employer yourselves.
We are responsible for employment contracts, payroll, employer contributions, pensions, insurance and related HR administration in line with local requirements.
You choose the specialist, direct the day-to-day work and keep control of the assignment. We handle the formal employment.
If you have not yet found the right person, we can also help you with the recruitment.
GuideWork permits for specialists in Sweden – how it works in 2026
Our own companies in five countries. Solutions worldwide too.
We can employ specialists through our own group companies in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland and India, where the arrangement is compatible with local rules.
For needs in other countries, we can help you with local employment solutions through partners, depending on the country's conditions and the requirements of the assignment.
Each arrangement is adapted to the local rules and conditions in the country where the specialist will work.
Note for Norway
Norway has specific rules for staffing and the hiring out of labour. Whether an Employer of Record solution can be used is therefore assessed based on the nature of the assignment and applicable Norwegian rules.

Have questions? See frequently asked questions
What is an Employer of Record (EOR)?
EOR means that an external provider is the formal employer of a person working for your company. The provider handles the employment and employer administration, while you direct the day-to-day work.
In which countries do you offer EOR?
We have our own companies in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland and India. In other countries, we can explore local employment through partners. Availability depends on local rules and the conditions of the assignment.
Do we have to find the candidate ourselves?
No. You can use EOR for a specialist you have already identified, or let us help you with the recruitment.
What does the service cost?
The cost depends on the country, salary, local employer costs and our agreed service fee. You receive a cost proposal before the employment starts.
Can we later employ the person in our own company?
Yes, a transfer may be possible by agreement and in line with applicable local rules, for example if you set up your own company in the country.
What is the difference between EOR and consultant staffing?
EOR focuses on the local employment solution, often for a person you have already chosen. With consultant staffing, we provide a consultant for a defined assignment and can also be responsible for the recruitment. The legal classification, however, depends on how the work is actually organised and which rules apply in the country.
