What is an Agent of Record

A Solution To Hire Independent Contractors Globally

The shifting dynamics in the global workforce challenge global employers to leverage various opportunities available with hybrid teams. Using an Agent of Record Solution (AOR), global employers can engage global talent resources for short-term projects or as part of a strategy to explore new markets or potential permanent hires. This gives organizations the freedom to take on more projects requiring specific qualifications, providing cost savings and flexibility in global talent acquisition.

An Agent of Record, also known as Independent Contractor Solution enables companies that are hiring the global workforce to gain a strategic advantage in the freelance market while reaping the benefits of global talent pools.

At Acumen International, we are champions of the opportunities available with hybrid teams and can support you with our global employment solutions, regardless of the complexity.

How An Independent Contractor Solution Can Empower Your Business

  • Compliance Assurance: Effortlessly navigate global talent pools, select independents you want to work with and easily onboard and pay global contractors in international or local currencies.
  • Cost Efficiency: Realise savings by avoiding the costs of the direct hire and minimise financial output at the start of a project. Easily transition freelancers into full-time employees with Acumen International’s support.
  • Flexibility & Scalability: Meet market demands by hiring independent contractors globally for short-term or exceptional projects like trial runs, per diem work, or shift tasks, all without long-term commitments.
  • Expert Support: Benefit from the expertise of a dedicated Acumen’s manager who will facilitate communication and oversee project completion, ensuring your intellectual property is safe and protected, and quality standards are met.
  • Contract-to-Employee Pathway: With over two decades of experience, we specialise in transitioning contractors to full-time employment offering a smooth transition for your expanding team. Rely on us to guide you through various in-country legislative nuances and procedures related with contractor to full-time employee transfers, which our team knows and can assist with.

Independent Contractor Solution vs. Umbrella Company

Unlike traditional umbrella companies that only act as intermediaries to arrange payouts, an Independent Contractor Solution provides a full spectrum of services to enable employers to legally deploy and pay their global workers internationally without legal risks to the company and risk to the intellectual products that you develop.

From ensuring global tax compliance to offering a complete service with global HR strategy support, we go beyond contractual management to deliver a comprehensive and compliant solution tailored to your global hiring needs. We will allocate a dedicated manager to your projects to help you manage worker communication in various time zones and ensure invoice approvals and payouts are run smoothly. 

At Acumen International, we understand the shifting dynamics of the global workforce and are champions of the opportunities available with hybrid teams. Leverage our international employment solutions and talent acquisition expertise for agile, global workforce integration.
