Frequently asked questions

Fronted is your single partner for building a compliant, high-performing global team. We combine world-class talent sourcing and vetting with complete Employer of Record (EOR) infrastructure. That means we handle employment logistics, payroll, and compliance so you can hire exceptional talent fast and without risk.

You tell us what success looks like. We interview and qualify every candidate before you ever see their profile, so you only meet the top candidates. We can handle contracts, onboarding and employment logistics so you can get started fast.

We typically work with growth-stage companies, startups, and scaleups that need to hire specialized talent quickly without establishing local entities. We also support established companies fill hard-to-find roles by sourcing global talent and handling the full employment setup.

No. While we are Nordic-built and most of our clients are based in Europe, our services are global.

Everything from developers, designers, and data specialists to marketing and operations roles, typically mid to senior-level positions. We also frequently help companies build full remote teams such as engineering, design, or growth pods. If you can describe it, we can find it.

We currently support EOR employment across a growing list of countries in Europe, US, the Middle East, and Asia. Contact us for the most up-to-date overview. For markets we don’t yet cover, we evaluate expansion based on client needs and the scope of planned hires. In many cases, we can begin the recruitment process while we assess the best way to support employment in that market. If you’re unsure whether we operate in a specific country, just reach out — we always find a solution

If you already have a local legal entity, you most likely don’t need a COR/EOR provider. But if you need help with recruitment, feel free to contact us — we can support you with that

From brief to signed contract usually takes 2–4 weeks depending on the role and market.

We support remote-only hires, hybrid roles (part-time or periodic on-site + remote). We have the options to scope each role with you upfront so you understand employment terms and any local requirements.

An Employer of Record (EOR) is a third-party organization that employs a worker on your behalf in a country where you don’t have a local entity. It handles the administrative side of employment, payroll, taxes, benefits, and compliance with local labor laws. Which means you should consider using an EOR when you want to employ people in a new market without setting up your own entity.

Unlike a pure recruiter who finds you candidates, or a staffing agency that supplies temporary workers, our model covers both: we source and match you with top global talent and provide employment infrastructure (via our EOR/enabling platform) so you can hire and employ that talent compliantly. Fronted also uses its employment platform as a growth engine for our customers. We help you hire great people and also support you in building out new teams or capabilities as your business scales, all with one partner.

Yes. Several of our clients switch from other EOR providers to Fronted for a smoother user experience and more competitive pricing.

We process payroll locally, ensure statutory deductions, taxes, and benefits are compliant, and deliver payslips to the employee each month.

We work with vetted local legal partners and continuously monitor regulatory changes in employment, taxation, and benefits.

Yes. We ensure assignment of IP and confidentiality clauses that transfer full ownership to you as the client.

If your hire is onboarded through our EOR/COR service, you don’t pay anything extra for recruitment, sourcing and matching are fully included. If you only need recruitment, we offer a separate fee structure and share a clear quote before starting the search. For EOR/COR, the monthly fee covers employment administration, payroll, benefits, and local statutory obligations.

Typically month-to-month for EOR, with one-month notice. Recruitment projects are one-off unless part of a subscription or retained model.

Yes. For clients hiring multiple roles or combining recruitment and EOR, we can tailor a package.

We can invoice in EUR, USD, GBP, or NOK, depending on your preference and country setup.
