“You found the perfect engineer in Lisbon. You have no entity in Portugal. The clock is ticking.”
Access the best talent, anywhere on earth.
The right person often lives where you have no entity, no payroll and no HR. With LanceSoft, that is a detail, not a dealbreaker.
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 own entities in 60 countries so the person who accepts your offer is employed by the same partner who quoted you, not a chain of resold intermediaries.
The difference, side by side.
Without a partner
- 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
With LanceSoft
- A compliant offer out in days, on our own entity
- Onboarded within 3 working days of acceptance
- A full local employment experience that wins talent
- Zero setup cost, zero exit fees
Statutory exposure check
