Hire in Germany before your company exists.
Hire your first people in Germany before your own company exists — legally employed through our network.
What you get and why it matters.
Sometimes the first hire comes before the company: a sales manager to test the market, or an engineer you don't want to lose. With an employer of record, a licensed company in our network employs the person for you, with a German contract, payroll and social insurance.
When your own company is ready, the employment moves over to it.
