FAQPage Schema
How do I kick off international expansion for hiring in a new country?

International expansion kickoff starts by gathering cross-functional intake, running EOR versus entity framing, and producing country-specific flags. It creates a persistent expansion tracker file so planning and stakeholder alignment can continue over time.

What's the best way to decide between using an EOR or setting up an entity for international hiring?

EOR versus entity framing structures your initial legal and employment approach for the target country. It evaluates the trade-offs of each model so you can make informed decisions quickly before making your first international hire.

What cross-functional questions should I ask when planning country hiring?

Cross-functional question drafting produces early stakeholder questions needed for complete inputs beyond just HR and legal. It ensures teams align on country-specific flags and employment legal considerations during the expansion kickoff.

Do I need to specify a country to start international expansion planning?

International expansion planning requires a specified country to load the correct jurisdictional legal reference and international-expansion workflow. If a country is not provided, the intake process will request clarification before proceeding.

How does the expansion tracker work for ongoing international hiring?

The expansion tracker creates a persistent expansion-[slug].yaml file for the specified country. It checks for an existing country tracker during kickoff and stores key considerations so the expansion planning work can continue over time.
