Country guides

Boundless owns local legal entities in the majority of the countries we support. In a small number of countries, we operate through carefully selected in-country partners. These partnerships are embedded into our platform and go through rigorous vetting to ensure the same standards of compliance, data security, and employee experience as our wholly owned entities.

For you and your employees, the experience remains the same. You work directly with the Boundless team, follow the same processes, and retain the same level of visibility and control. Partnering with trusted local experts allows us to expand country coverage more quickly while maintaining ironclad compliance and a consistent service standard.

Yes. This is exactly what an Employer of Record enables. Boundless becomes the legal employer on your behalf, allowing you to hire employees in another country without setting up or maintaining a local legal entity. You manage the day-to-day work, while Boundless handles employment, payroll, benefits, and compliance locally.

Boundless carries full employment compliance responsibility in every country where you hire through our services. This includes compliant employment contracts, payroll processing, statutory benefits, tax and social contributions, employer obligations, and adherence to local labour laws. You can hire with confidence knowing compliance is handled end to end.

Employer costs vary significantly by country and can differ even within the same region. These costs typically include employer social security contributions covering healthcare, pensions, unemployment insurance, sickness and disability provisions, and statutory leave.

In certain countries, these costs are fixed amounts, while in others they are calculated as a percentage of salary. Each country guide outlines the exact employer costs you should budget for, so you can plan accurately before hiring.

In most countries, onboarding takes between one and three business days once all required information is provided. Boundless supplies locally compliant employment agreements that can be signed digitally through our platform.

In some countries, statutory requirements such as medical checks, tax registrations, or social security enrolment may extend timelines slightly. Regardless of the country, Boundless guides you through each step and handles the operational complexity to ensure a smooth onboarding experience for both you and your employee.

No. Boundless is not a recruitment agency. Our Employer of Record services begin once you have identified the right candidate. We then step in to employ them legally and compliantly in their country.

Beyond EOR, Boundless also offers HR Support for companies hiring through their own entities or other providers. This includes guidance on country feasibility, legislative frameworks, and hands-on HR support to help global teams scale effectively.
