"Essential Partner for Managing Compliance"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Safeguard Global?

I really appreciate Safeguard Global's attention to detail and their ability to act as our employer of record. This role significantly alleviates a lot of the compliance obligations that we would otherwise need to manage in our staff. Given that we don't have Colombian employment expertise within our team, having Safeguard Global on board is fantastic. Additionally, the initial setup was very easy because we were guided through the process with an onboarding team, and the handoff was pretty seamless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Safeguard Global?

Right now, it's the platform access. When people are given access, they tend to have issues getting to where they need to go, and we have multiple tickets to submit. It doesn't happen with everyone, but it seems to happen with the admins. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Quick, Caring Follow-Up and Helpful Support"

5/5

What do you like best about Safeguard Global?

The follow up was quick and treated my case with care and expedited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Safeguard Global?

I wouldn't say there was anything I disliked. At one point, I had one rep randomly pick up my ticket but they immediately saw someone else was assigned to my case and re-routed my question to my assigned rep. This was very helpful! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Safeguard Global solving and how is that benefiting you?

Because of the current immigration constraints for H1B visas in the US, we were able to rely on Safeguard Global solutions to hire a global employee remotely until this employee was eligible for another J1 visa, come to the US, and then apply for an H1B visa to avoid the $100,000 fee. This was a great workaround to get the employee and the hiring supervisor taken care of! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Everything looks good so far, and I haven’t run into any issues."

5/5

What do you like best about Safeguard Global?

Effectively managed our deployments in Australia without any issues and consistently provided prompt support whenever needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Safeguard Global?

Currently, communication with the Safeguard team happens through a standard group email ID, which often results in delayed responses. Since clients typically require timely updates and do not have the luxury of waiting long for critical information, it would be beneficial to introduce a more efficient communication mechanism.

Proposed Improvements:

Direct Communication Platform

Create a dedicated platform or support portal where clients can directly interact with Safeguard representatives—similar to live chat, ticketing tools, or assigned account managers. This would significantly reduce response times and improve overall efficiency.

Swift Query Resolution Mechanism

Establish a system that ensures client queries are responded to promptly, with defined SLAs and clear ownership.

Central Repository of Country-Specific Information

Build a comprehensive, easily accessible repository containing detailed information about all countries covered under the EOR model, including:

Specific statutory requirements

Onboarding timelines

Cost structures

Compliance checklists

Country-level employment guidelines

This would help clients quickly locate relevant information without having to wait for support responses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thank you Somer for your kind words about our team and the support you have received! We agree whole-heartedly that the relationships / "human" element of HR support is incredibly important to balance with technology.

"Safeguard is a great"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Safeguard Global?

Our org is new to Safeguard so I can only speak to the assessment and onboarding process. Both were amazing... our account manager is thorough and knowledgable, while our onboarding lead kept us on task and educated us throughout the project. She also made us feel comfortable and confident in putting our employees in Safeguard's hands. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Safeguard Global?

It's very early for us, so I don't have anything to dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great account representatives and support"

4/5

What do you like best about Safeguard Global?

The dedicated account representatives/managers are fantastic. They truly care about making the experience positive for the clients and employees. The update to the payroll application platform has been great. Working with the recruiters for our global job openings has been successful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Safeguard Global?

The local HR reps are not often available during US business hours and this causes frequent delays in getting things completed/answers to questions. It would be nice for the client to have a direct line in to the HR reps in country or at least a monthly/quarterly check in/touch base because it feels very disconnected.
