At a glance
- Onboarded their first international employee in Nova Scotia.
- Expanded operations to Canada without setting up a local entity, saving time and money.
Overview
With decades of success empowering at-risk families in the U.S., Great Kids, Inc. sought to expand their mission into Nova Scotia. They identified the ideal local expert to develop a culturally relevant guide for home visitor staff—but lacked the infrastructure and expertise to compliantly hire abroad.
Challenge
Great Kids had never hired internationally and was unfamiliar with Canadian employment law. Establishing an entity was too costly and time-consuming, and relying on an independent contractor wasn’t an option for this critical role. The nonprofit needed a fast, compliant hiring solution to secure the candidate and expand their impact without disruption.
Solution
Pebl stepped in with a tailored Employer of Record (EOR) service, offering detailed guidance on Canadian benefits, compliance, and onboarding requirements. Great Kids chose Pebl over other providers due to their responsive communication, nonprofit sensitivity, and end-to-end support for both the organization and the new hire.
Pebl is a godsend. They delivered a seamless international onboarding experience that we were unable to provide otherwise. They were sympathetic to our needs, and made sure we—and our new employee—had continued support throughout the process.
Outcome
Within weeks, Great Kids successfully onboarded their first international employee—without legal risk or administrative burden. The organization was able to launch new developmental materials for at-risk families in both the U.S. and Canada. With confidence in their hiring infrastructure, Great Kids is now positioned to scale their impact globally.
