Building an EOR shortlist takes more than collecting provider names. You need to decide how to employ the worker, understand the full hiring budget and ask each provider comparable questions. This resource library brings together our hiring guides, provider comparisons, cost tools and research methods for those steps. Choose the route that matches your current decision, then use the relevant checklist or comparison to prepare a brief that providers can answer in writing.

Make each provider answer the same brief

Download your quote checklist: Select Save to shortlist on provider cards in the directory. Open Saved shortlist, choose the providers you want to compare, then select Download quote checklist. The download includes your saved providers and a common brief.

Give each provider the same brief so you can compare the scope, costs and unanswered questions:

1
Hiring scope: List the countries, service needed, worker type, headcount, roles and expected start date.
2
Service delivery and legal employer: For each country, record the proposed legal employer or payroll provider, any delivery partners and who handles each part of the service.
3
Full commercial costs: Request the currency, service fee, billing period, commitment, minimums, setup charges, salary and employer costs, benefits, deposits, FX and exit charges. Separate refundable funding from non-refundable costs.
4
Operating requirements: Set out onboarding requirements, payroll input dates, essential integrations, support hours and the escalation contact.
5
Evidence and open questions: Link each answer to a source or proposal, note its country and plan, record the date checked and identify anything still needing confirmation.

Save your sources and quote details

Save the source and date for each material detail. If a price, service or country is unclear, ask for written confirmation before treating it as part of the offer.
