Why Convert Contractors?

Show you’re built for lasting growth

Converting contractors to employees proves to investors, boards, and regulators that your workforce is compliant, stable, and ready for the next milestone.

Secure startup funding

Investors look for stability. Converting contractors to employees shows you’re reducing compliance risk, securing your workforce, and ready to scale without legal surprises.

Get ready for an IPO

Going public means auditors, regulators, and investors reviewing every detail. Correct workforce classification cuts risk, helps maximize valuation, and keeps your listing on schedule.

Protect growth from compliance delays

Contractor misclassification can trigger audits, fines, or hiring freezes. We convert talent correctly so your expansion plans move forward fast.

Over the past year, we've doubled—if not tripled—our global headcount. That growth has been largely thanks to our partnership….

Frequently asked questions

Contractor conversion can protect your company from misclassification risk. You have two main options to convert contractors to employees.

One option is to set up a legal entity in each country where your team works. This lets you officially hire them as employees and provide full pay and benefits. But opening entities takes time and money.

The other is to use an employer of record (EOR), which hires them on your behalf so they’re legally employees. You still manage their work; the EOR handles payroll, benefits, and compliance in each country.

Build teams anywhere. No local entities needed.
