About the webinar
Volatility is the new normal when it comes to hiring plans today.
In this webinar, Pebl reveals our latest research from HR and finance leaders across North America and EMEA on what really happens in the first 48 hours after a hiring freeze, pause, or pivot. We unpack the data behind why HR absorbs the shock, where friction slows teams down, and why credibility and trust are most at risk early on.
Meet the speakers
Mercer’s experts will break down where hiring activity is expanding, from Serbia and Bulgaria to Costa Rica and Colombia and beyond, along with the workforce trends shaping these markets. Pebl will share a practical view on how employer of record (EOR) support helps companies enter new regions quickly and compliantly, without entity setup or legal friction.
