How do you hire an international employee without a local entity?
Through an Employer of Record. The EOR’s local legal entity issues a compliant employment contract, runs payroll and benefits, and carries labor-law compliance, while the employee works on your team from day one. With LanceSoft, a compliant offer goes out in days and the hire is onboarded within 3 working days of acceptance, across 100+ countries.
The old way put lawyers before recruiters: months of entity registration, local counsel, payroll vendor selection and benefits benchmarking before you could even send an offer, by which time the candidate had usually accepted somewhere else. The EOR model flips the order: hire first, and build infrastructure later only if scale ever justifies it.
Talent markets stopped being local years ago; employment infrastructure did not. That gap is exactly what LanceSoft closes, with our 50+ self-owned entities so the person who accepts your offer is employed by the same partner who quoted you, not a chain of resold intermediaries. And from the day they accept, your hire exists in HummingBird: contract, onboarding steps, payslips and documents in one login you share with us.
The difference, side by side.

- Months of entity setup before you can even send an offer
- The candidate accepts somewhere faster
- Legal and setup fees before any value arrives
- A risky contractor workaround gets discussed

- Onboarded in 3 working days, tracked step by step in HummingBird
- A full local employment experience that wins talent
- Zero setup cost, transparent terms
