EORService.nl has announced its 2025 list of the Best Employer of Record (EOR) Services, helping companies expand into new markets quickly and compliantly. The report highlights three providers leading the industry this year: Remofirst, Oyster HR, and Deel.

What is an Employer of Record?

An Employer of Record (EOR) is a service partner that becomes the legal employer of staff in a foreign country. The EOR manages employment contracts, payroll, benefits, taxes, and compliance with local labor laws, while the client company maintains full control over the employee’s work. This model reduces risk and eliminates the need to set up local entities. More details can be found in the full guide: https://eorservice.nl/employer-of-record/
