Gusto Global
Keep your global freelancer, while saving money long term
Have an international contractor you keep hiring? You may save money, boost retention, and help reduce compliance risk by bringing them on full time.
Gusto’s Employer of Record Service, powered by Remote, lets you convert contractors to employees in a snap – while managing details like HR, payroll, and benefits for you.
Should I bring my freelancer on full time?
For contractors you hire again and again, converting them to full time can make sense.
Save money long-term. Hourly rates for contractors are typically higher than employees, and when they work more, you often pay more.
Enhance productivity. Full-time teammates can grow their responsibility and scope, without triggering negotiations about price and hours.
Build stable, loyal teams. Help improve retention, and reduce the risk that key teammates will work for competitors.
Help reduce business risk
Help avoid misclassification penalties
Working with long-term contractors may raise your legal risk. Hiring them full time helps protect your business.

An EOR is an employment services provider enabling you to hire in other countries while helping with local tax and employment laws. An EOR handles everything required to hire, pay, and manage employees, including payroll, benefits, taxes, stock options, and local compliance.
Through an EOR, a company can hire employees in another country without having to set up a local entity, which can be expensive and take months. Hiring through an EOR can help a business quickly, affordably, and compliantly hire international employees.
While contractors are a valuable component of any team, hiring international team members can come with a variety of benefits, especially for fast-scaling, high-growth businesses.
For many skilled roles, it can be hard to find talent with the right expertise. In a competitive labor market, companies that offer full-time employment and benefits are more likely to attract and retain talent.
Plus, it’s important to note that international employees can feel more connected and more part of the team — especially when they get access to the same tools and work experiences as their U.S. peers.
Ultimately, it’s up to each business to determine their needs. Whatever you choose, we're here to support you through offering international contractor payments in more than 120 countries, and now the ability to hire international employees through our partnership with Remote.
At this time, Gusto's EOR service, powered by Remote, is designed for full-time, salaried employees in the countries we support.
Gusto's EOR service, powered by Remote, is available in Australia, Brazil, Canada, India, Mexico, Philippines, and the United Kingdom, with more countries on the way each month.
