Professional Employer Organization (PEO)

What is the difference between PEO and EOR services?

At Employor, we offer both employer of record (EOR) and professional employment organisation (PEO) solutions. Both of these services assist international companies employing talent from the Netherlands. So, what’s the difference you might ask?

To hire employees in the Netherlands as a non-Dutch company, there are a number of requirements you must meet. These include becoming an official sponsor if talent from outside the EU bloc is hired,  legal entities and more. Establishing these can be both complex and time-consuming. That’s where an employer of record steps in. An EOR hires Netherlands-based talent as their own employee and seconds this talent to your company. That way, you can tap into the Dutch labour market, without the administration of hiring from abroad.

Alternatively, a partner offering PEO services does not hire talent on your behalf. Once talent is already hired by an international company, professional employment organisations can step in to take on the administrative tasks involved with maintaining these employees. This involves everything from payroll activities to HR matters and tax requirements. PEOs are also there to advise your company on all the ins and outs of Dutch employment laws and regulations.

At Employor, we’re proud to offer both! In doing so we can cover all bases for our international partners – from hiring professionals based in the Netherlands to nurturing this talent through PEO activities.
