What do you like best about Safeguard Global?

This is my first tie working with a global EOR, and I reached out to two other companies along side Safeguard Global. I appreciated that my initial contact was with a person that actually worked for the company and knew the product. I also appreciated that Rachel K. has worked with me straight through the onboarding of our first goblal candidate. This was quite a venture for our organization and it meant also a substantial cost. I didn't want to have to be floated amongst several representatives and be "sold" a product. In other cases I got mixed messages and unfortunately none of the representatives were from the US. With Safeguard they provided great information about the process, what to expect and their services. I wasn't never unsure of what might take place. Rachel was great in answering my questions upfront and provided lots of details as what would impact my bottom line. This is why I went with SafeGuard and this is why it has been a rather smooth process so far! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Safeguard Global?

There hasn't been anything I disliked so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

SafeGuard Global is allowing us to hire outside of the US and provide competitive benefits and pay. It is allowing us to establish our footprint in a more "permanent" way. We can teast the waters, get great candidates and manage our costs from a employee/consultant perspective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Safeguard Global?

Safeguard Global helped me and my company employ an old friend living in Ukraine. His life was turned upside down with the Russian invasion and he could no longer work at his multi-generational family company. I own a small business, and without Safeguard Global, I never would've been able to accomodate the beauracracy and filing and reporting and tax requirements of employing a Ukrainian from Portland, Oregon. With the help of the team at Safeguard Global, my friend is not only able to secure flexible full-time work, but with the salary he is earning, those funds are sufficient to support his family and community. It is very important to me to be able to help the good people of Ukraine, and I could never have done it without Safeguard Global. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Safeguard Global?

Sometimes I get emails in the middle of the night, Pacific Standard Time, and the deadline to act has passed by the time I turn my computer on in the morning, and this sometimes causes month long delays. But this is just me nit picking. I love Safeguard Global. Thank you for helping me help my friend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Safeguard Global?

The team helping you does not know the legalities within the countires they are assisting you in. Employee's are located in India and there is no transparency. they forget to pay employee's and then claim it was a "system error". Do not use them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

employee's are not paid on time, poor communication, does not follow country regulations, customer support is not there on weekends, only india employee's that have no clue about the countries we are running payroll in. Confusing interface as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Safeguard Global?

Whilst the process was in place, everything went smoothly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Safeguard Global?

We used Safeguard Global to pay an employee in Germany. The onboarding was not very straightforward but we got there in the end.

At the end though, the offboarding was a right mess with conflicting emails from different departments, for instance they forgot to tell us about some dues for the 13th month which is a basic requirement there, could not send us a statement of accounts, etc.

It all concluded as a terrible experience with Safeguard, with a clear feeling they have a disconnected organisation, a total lack of customer centricity and a really heavy handed approach to customer service.

Really poor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Safeguard Global?

Safeguard is able to accomodate all of our EOR requests, and there is something to be said for streamlinging processes that we are able to work with one provider. Although we didn't have the best experience with our previous rep, I have had a great experience with our new rep thus far and have high hopes for an improved relationship. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Safeguard Global?

There is a high number of invoices received that are later credited and re-invoiced due to errors. There has also been inconsistency in the way refundable deposits are handled which has created a bit of reconciling nightmare between our accounting teams. We have at times received both a credit memo and a refund for the same refundable deposit. In the past it has been a struggle to get underlying support for expenses, but our new rep is helping us get access to global unity so we can pull this data ourselves.

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

Safeguard allows us to hire individuals across the globe so we can continue to expand our business and find where we need to expand operations next. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Safeguard Global?

Safeguard Global acts as a global employer of record for our organization in countries we do not have a physical location. After an initial set up period, Safeguard offers consistent payroll processing for our international employees. In countries where Safeguard doesn't have central offices, they work with a local partner, allowing for broader global reach. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Safeguard Global?

Safeguard Global, as with many PEOs, can be expensive and service fee structures vary from country to country. If you end up working with a local office in more obscure countries of registration, there can be a significant delays in response time. There also appears to be a high level of turnover in account managers, so you may be assigned a new point of contact every few months. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have international staff and by using Safeguard we do not need to register with each country's governments in order to hire employees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I feel that there has been a relinquishment of the HR duties and we have an in house HR team, this employee we have through safeguard is the only employee out of 500 to be employed via EOR Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Employing foreign workers and Risk Mitigation Growing into new markets may be fraught with danger, particularly when navigating unfamiliar labour laws and regulations.
