We’re a small business looking to expand our remote team and bring on someone overseas.

The challenge is figuring out the cleanest way to do global hiring without having to set up a business in another country.

So far I’ve come across:

• Hiring as an independent contractor
• Using an employer of record for full time roles

It seems like both are valid, but each comes with trade offs around compliance, cost and control.

If you’ve been through this what did you choose and why?
