EU → U.S. Hiring
European company hiring U.S. employees? We'll get you set up and keep you compliant.
You don't need a U.S. HR department to employ people in America. We help EU and international companies enter the U.S. market, run payroll and benefits across all 50 states, and manage the employee lifecycle.

Hiring Americans from Europe raises questions fast.
- Do we need a U.S. entity, or can we use an Employer of Record?
- How do U.S. benefits compare to what we offer in Europe?
- Which U.S. states create additional employment requirements?
- Who actually runs U.S. payroll and answers employee questions?
- What happens when a U.S. employee moves to another state?
- What does at-will employment mean in practice?
- How should we handle a performance issue or termination?
- How do we keep U.S. employment practices aligned with our company culture?
These questions are cheap to answer before you hire and expensive once you have employees in multiple states. We answer them, build the infrastructure, and run it for as long as you need.

EOR or U.S. entity?
An Employer of Record is often the right first step for one or two hires, but it can become the wrong long-term answer as headcount grows. We model cost, control, benefits quality, equity, state spread and your planned trajectory — then give you a recommendation you can take to your board or investors.
Fifty states, not one country
U.S. employment law is a patchwork. A remote hire in a new state can trigger registration, tax, benefits and leave requirements. We track where your people work and what that means for you, so nothing falls through the cracks.
Built for European expectations
We know the gap between European employment culture and U.S. practice. We help you design policies that are compliant in the U.S. and consistent with how you run the rest of your business — without importing European assumptions that don't translate.
A single point of contact
Your HQ team shouldn't be chasing payroll providers, benefits brokers and state agencies across time zones. We act as your U.S. People function, with clear ownership and operator-level judgment on the decisions that matter.
