Employer of Record (EOR) Services — Hire Globally Without Entities
“We built Dhi ADT because we saw mid-market companies lose 3–6 months trying to set up a Dutch B.V. before they could make a single hire. An EOR removes that barrier entirely. Your first Dutch employee can be on payroll in two weeks. That is not a marketing claim, it is what we do every month for our clients.”
Shrinivas Racha · Founder, Dhi ADTAn Employer of Record (EOR) legally employs your international team on your behalf, so you can hire in a new country without setting up a local entity. Dhi ADT acts as the compliant legal employer across 50+ countries, handling contracts, payroll, tax filings, and statutory benefits, while you keep full operational control over the employee's day-to-day work. This removes the 3–6 month entity setup process entirely: onboarding through Dhi ADT can begin within 48 hours. For companies testing a new market or hiring their first employee in Europe, an EOR is the fastest, lowest-risk way to expand.

EOR vs. Entity Setup vs. PEO
Three different ways to employ someone abroad — here's how they actually compare.
| Factor | Employer of Record (EOR) | Local Entity Setup |
|---|---|---|
| Time to first hire | As fast as 48 hours | 3–6 months |
| Upfront cost | No setup cost | Legal, notary, and registration fees |
| Legal employer | Dhi ADT (via owned entity or partner) | Your company |
| Compliance ownership | Dhi ADT manages local labor law, tax, and filings | Your company owns compliance directly |
| Best for | 1–15 employees in a country, market testing, fast hiring | 15–20+ employees, confirmed long-term presence |
| Exit / wind-down | No lock-in, exit at any time | Entity dissolution required, can take months |
| Factor | Employer of Record (EOR) | Professional Employer Organization (PEO) |
|---|---|---|
| Local entity required | No — EOR provides the legal entity | Yes — you must already have one |
| Legal employer of record | The EOR provider | Co-employment: shared between you and the PEO |
| Ideal use case | Hiring in a country where you have no entity yet | Managing HR/payroll for employees under your existing entity |
| Employment liability | Sits with the EOR provider | Shared between employer and PEO |
| Dhi ADT offering | Yes | Yes |
When Should You Use an EOR?
Use EOR when:
- You need talent in place within days, not months.
- You have 1–5 employees in a country like the Netherlands, UK, or Belgium.
- You want to test a new market before setting up a local company.
- Local legal and compliance requirements are outside your team's current expertise.
Switch to a local entity when:
- Headcount exceeds 15–20 employees in one country.
- Long-term presence in that market is confirmed.
