Significant cost savings from avoiding unnecessary entity setup.

Overview

As a global cybersecurity leader, Rapid7 needed to attract and retain talent worldwide. But fragmented headcount across multiple countries strained their lean HR team—especially during restructures and relocations. Previous EOR providers lacked the personalized support Rapid7 needed to operate efficiently and compliantly at scale.

Challenge

Rapid7’s legacy EORs offered transactional service with slow support, risking compliance and creating inefficiencies during critical employee transitions. The team needed a proactive, strategic partner to streamline processes, minimize costs, and guide global growth—especially in complex markets like India.

Solution

Rapid7 partnered with Pebl to consolidate global employment under a trusted EOR with country-specific expertise and hands-on support. The dedicated account team advised on entity setup vs. EOR tradeoffs, handled sensitive employee transitions, and offered timely, strategic guidance across all lifecycle stages.

It was really helpful to have a partner that understood local challenges we were going to run into and gave us a heads up on things like ‘Here’s the best time to do this, and here’s where you’re going to have the least employee impact in that region.’

Outcome

Rapid7 expanded into 13 markets with confidence and reduced HR strain by shifting from scattered hires to strategic hubs. Transitions became smoother, compliance risks dropped, and HR gained back time to focus on people, not paperwork. Feedback loops with Pebl led to faster resolutions and stronger workflows.
