EOR fit matrix
| Profile | Best fit | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 150+ country coverage, large global expansion | Multiplier | Broadest country footprint; built for distributed teams expanding fast |
| Standard NA/EU/LATAM hires, brand-known platform | Deel | Largest brand recognition; tightest contractor + EOR + payroll bundle |
| SEA / non-core geos, payroll quality emphasis | Remote | Owns more local entities; better payroll accuracy in non-core markets |
| EU benefits-heavy senior hires | Oyster | EU-strong benefits marketplace; cleaner equity handling |
Rule of thumb: contractor vs EOR
- Short project < 6 months, multiple clients: contractor OK
- Full-time, single-client, > 6 months: EOR (no exceptions)
- Executive / country lead: EOR or local entity
- EU exclusive worker: EOR (strict reclassification presumption)
FAQ
- Multiplier vs Deel?
- Multiplier covers more countries (150+) and is often cheaper at the per-seat level. Deel has stronger brand recognition and a tighter contractor + EOR bundle. For a 1-3 hire situation in a standard country (US, UK, DE, IN), Deel is the safer default. For broader global expansion, Multiplier.
- Are these all really automated affiliates?
- Multiplier, Deel, Remote and Oyster run public affiliate programs with cookie tracking, and we earn a commission if you sign up through our links. A few vendors in 'Also worth considering' are listed because they fit specific hiring needs, and some of them don't pay us anything. Each card says which kind it is.
- What about Rippling Global or Velocity Global?
- Rippling has a channel-partner program for accounting firms and brokers but no public affiliate program, and Velocity Global is similar. We haven't added either yet.
