An EOR legally employs the worker in their country, handling local payroll, benefits and compliance. Published EOR prices start around $599 per employee per month at Deel and Remote. Contractor tools are far cheaper ($29–$49/month), but the classification risk stays with you unless you buy a product that covers it. Classification rules vary by country, so get local advice.
Software only handles contracts and payroll. You still have to recruit, train, supervise and replace people. A nearshore staffing partner handles all of that for one monthly rate. That is the service we run ourselves (see below). Compare the total cost: EOR fee + salary + your management time vs. one staffing rate.
