Best Global Employment Platforms (GEP)

Researched and written by Grace Savides

Global employment platforms (GEP) are software-centric SaaS applications that enable companies to hire internationally without establishing a legal entity in another country, operating as an employer of record (EOR), professional employer organization (PEO), or agent of record (AOR) while giving users flexibility and control through a modern platform dashboard.

Core Capabilities of GEP Software

To qualify for inclusion in the Global Employment Platforms category, a product must:

  • Allow users to source, filter, and hire employees internationally
  • Use a robust, modern platform that enables international hiring without the need for intervention from a services team
  • Include accessibility to other services via the software such as benefits, global payroll, and immigration

Common Use Cases for GEP Software

HR and talent teams use global employment platforms to expand their workforce internationally quickly and compliantly. Common use cases include:

  • Hiring employees in new markets without setting up foreign legal entities
  • Managing global payroll, benefits, and local compliance from a single platform dashboard
  • Providing internationally hired employees with self-service access to onboarding and HR information

How GEP Software Differs from Other Tools

While GEPs share traits with PEO providers and employer of record (EOR) services, they are set apart by their software-first model and greater reliance on modern technology. Unlike service-led EOR and PEO arrangements, GEPs provide users with direct control and flexibility from within the platform, operating as software first and foremost, with access to services such as HR advising and immigration support available through the platform rather than as the primary offering.

Based on category trends on G2, platform usability and the speed of compliant international hiring stand out as the most valued capabilities. Reduced time-to-hire for international roles and improved global compliance management stand out as primary outcomes of adoption.
