What is Employer of Record (EOR)?

A third-party organization that serves as the legal employer of a worker in a country where the client company doesn't have its own entity, handling payroll, tax filings, benefits administration, and employment law compliance on behalf of the client.

Why it matters in hiring

Employer of Record (EOR) comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
