The numbers behind Pebl
Global employment is too important to take on faith. Here are the stats behind Pebl's performance, expertise, and infrastructure.
What our customers say
The best proof isn’t what we say. It’s how our customers feel about hiring globally with Pebl.
Pebl helped our team onboard an extremely critical member of our international team in a short turn around time.
We now have employees across six countries and wouldn't have been able to do this without Pebl.
We appreciate their high-touch approach and emphasis on compliance. They are also delightful to work with and highly responsive.
I really like that Pebl makes it very easy and convenient for my company to hire international employees fairly quickly.
Pebl has helped us understand what is required to hire someone outside the US.
It is such a gift to be able to rely on the expertise of another organization for areas we don't have time to be the experts in.
Pebl is an essential partner in our high volume hiring and onboarding outside of the United States.
From my experience, the staff has been wonderful and very easy to work with.
I've had an exceptional experience with my HR at Pebl. Their support has been invaluable, offering tremendous assistance throughout.
I've helped SaaS start-ups expand internationally multiple times but found Pebl to provide the best experience…
VG helped our company to hire in a country where we did not have a presence, simplifying the process of workforce expansion.
Pebl’s team is very accessible and fast on their support.
Our CEO loves the fact that working with Pebl means we don’t need to handle everything ourselves, employ HR people in-country, or worry about compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why choose Pebl over G-P?
Global employment has evolved beyond legacy models like G-P. Pebl delivers enterprise-grade compliance, risk mitigation, speed, AI-powered workflows, transparent costs, expert support, and accountable execution without the delays and overhead of a traditional EOR.
-
Is G-P a good EOR?
G-P helped define the EOR category, but the category has evolved. G-P represents a legacy EOR model built around heavy process, quote-based pricing, service layers, and gated intelligence. Modern HR teams should ask whether that overhead actually improves global employment outcomes or simply slows them down.
-
Is G-P better for enterprise companies?
Not necessarily. Large enterprises need compliance, risk mitigation, support, reporting, controls, and accountability, but they don’t need unnecessary cost, latency, or manual process. Pebl delivers enterprise-grade global employment through a modern platform designed to reduce overhead while maintaining the rigor global companies need.
-
What does “enterprise drag” mean in relation to G-P?
G-P’s model can add process and cost around work that should be faster and easier to manage: quote-based pricing, deposits, setup fees, service tiers, paid AI, manual workflows, and escalation dependency. That may look like enterprise readiness, but for many teams it becomes what we refer to as “enterprise drag.”
-
Is Pebl only for smaller or faster-moving companies?
No. Pebl is built for companies that need global employment to work at scale. Pebl combines enterprise-grade compliance, risk mitigation, support, and employment accountability without unnecessary legacy overhead.
-
Does G-P use partners?
G-P has a mix of owned entities and partners to support global hiring. Before choosing any EOR, ask how employment is delivered in each country, including who owns onboarding, payroll, compliance, benefits, employee support, and issue resolution.
-
Why does delivery consistency matter in EOR?
EOR encompasses legal employment, payroll, benefits, compliance, employee support, and offboarding. If delivery varies by country, HR teams may face different timelines, workflows, support paths, and employee experiences across markets.
-
What is the difference between Gia and Alfie?
Gia is a paid add-on, while Alfie is built into Pebl’s platform—at no extra cost.
-
What do customer reviews say about G-P support?
Public customer reviews frequently mention challenges with response times, support quality, and navigating G-P's platform. Some reviewers describe slow contract creation, lengthy issue resolution, fragmented workflows, and software that's difficult to use. Others report frustrations with fees, employee benefits, and AI that provides contract guidance but falls short on broader employment questions.
While experiences vary, these reviews highlight a common theme: modern HR teams expect faster, more intuitive global employment tools with fewer handoffs and less operational friction.
-
Is G-P more expensive than Pebl?
G-P is a quote-based provider. Buyers should evaluate the full lifecycle cost, including employee EOR fees, deposits, setup fees, FX, add-ons, service tiers, off-cycle payroll, integrations, and termination costs. Pebl is built around clearer global employment pricing and lower start-up friction.
-
Why does G-P’s quote-based pricing matter?
Quote-based pricing can make it harder to compare true cost across providers. HR and Finance teams should ask for sample invoices, fee schedules, deposit requirements, FX assumptions, implementation costs, AI pricing, support tiers, and offboarding costs before comparing monthly EOR fees.
-
How do I switch from G-P to Pebl?
Switching is easy. Pebl can buy you out of your G-P contract, transfer your data, and guide the migration with a dedicated team, so you can move to focused EOR without disrupting your people, payroll, or operations.
