Multiplier employer of record: hire in 150+ countries

You have found the perfect candidate. They have the skills, the experience, and the enthusiasm. There is just one problem: they are in a country where you have no legal entity. No tax registration. No idea how local employment law works. Sound familiar?

This scenario plays out thousands of times a day across the tech industry. A company in Berlin wants to hire a developer in Buenos Aires. A London startup needs a customer success lead in Manila. The talent is there. The infrastructure to employ them compliantly, historically, has not been.

Multiplier closes that gap. The platform acts as the legal employer on your behalf in over 150 countries. It handles employment contracts, payroll, tax withholding, statutory contributions, and benefits administration from a single dashboard. You manage the work. Multiplier manages the compliance.

At its core, Multiplier is an employer of record (EOR) platform. It employs your international hires through its own legal entities. You do not need to set up a subsidiary in every country where you want to bring someone on. The company operates owned entities across more than 160 countries rather than relying on third-party intermediaries.

The practical difference matters. Multiplier generates employment contracts with country-specific clauses covering notice periods, probation terms, benefits entitlements, and termination rules. Contract generation takes under five minutes. Onboarding, in most countries, completes within days.

For companies already running international payroll, Multiplier launched Global Payroll Payments in April 2026, powered by fintech provider Navro. The integration handles gross-to-net calculation, local tax deductions, and multi-currency disbursement in a single flow.

Beyond full-time employees

Multiplier also handles contractor management from $40 per contractor per month, with multi-currency payments including cryptocurrency. The newer Contractor of Record (COR) product adds a compliance layer for misclassification risk, an issue attracting increasing regulatory attention across the EU.

For companies relocating hires or sponsoring work permits, Multiplier’s immigration product covers visa processing in over 140 countries. The platform integrates with existing HR tools like Workday, HiBob, and BambooHR.

What it costs

Multiplier’s EOR service starts at $400 per employee per month. No setup fees, no onboarding charges, no minimum headcount. That positions it below several major competitors: Deel’s EOR starts at $599 per month. Remote’s comparable plan begins at $599, or $499 on annual billing.

Contractor management starts at $40 per contractor per month. Global Payroll and Immigration pricing varies by headcount and number of countries.

Who it is for

The platform serves companies from early-stage startups hiring their first international employee to enterprises managing distributed teams across dozens of countries. More than 2,700 companies currently use Multiplier. The platform processes $2 billion in global wages annually and earned IEC Leader status in EOR for 2026.
