Both PEOs and EORs provide outsourced HR support services, but in different ways.
The key difference is that an EOR acts as the sole legal employer of your global hires and handles labor law compliance and regulations.
A PEO operates a co-employment model and shares employee responsibilities with you.

Why choose a PEO?
A PEO works well in countries where you already have a legal entity. A PEO will partner with you to help you hire full-time, permanent employees in locations where your company already owns an entity.
It acts like an outsourced HR department, providing payroll, tax, benefits administration, and compliance support for domestic employees.
Why choose an EOR?
If you want to expand into new countries quickly and compliantly, partnering with an EOR is essential. It’s like having your own HR department on the ground across the globe.
On paper, an EOR employs people in a specific country on your behalf. In practice, it’s as though each person is employed by you.
