Why managed

Turn the RFP checklist into a provider comparison.

What we build

What your EOR provider comparison includes.

Weighted requirements

We build these with your HR, finance, legal and procurement stakeholders. The baseline weights are compliance and risk 25%, true cost 20%, coverage 15%, onboarding 15%, support 15%, and switching and exit 10%. You adjust them before any vendor sees the questionnaire.

Vendor questionnaire

The questions that separate vendors go in up front: who the legal employer would be in each market, what deposit or pre-funding is taken, and what an exit costs.

Reference checks

We ask each finalist's existing clients the same questions and keep the answers on file.

Recommendation memo

A ranked recommendation with the rationale, the runners-up, and why each lost, written for a committee to sign.

How it works

Four steps from requirements to recommendation.

Typically 3–6 weeks, depending on vendor response times.

Isn't a free RFP template enough?

For the questions themselves, yes: our free EOR RFP checklist has 47 questions, with the answer to expect for each. The managed RFP adds the rest: weighting them for your countries and your risk, holding every vendor’s answers to one scale, checking the references and writing up the rationale an auditor asks to see a year later.

Are you vendor-neutral if you also rank providers?

You fund this RFP through a fixed fee that does not depend on the winner. We take no provider commission or referral fee for this engagement. We apply your agreed requirements and weights to all vendors in scope, including vendors with and without a separate commercial relationship with us. Our funding disclosure explains those wider relationships.

Who runs the process, us or you?

We build the weighted requirements with your stakeholders, issue and manage the questionnaire, score the responses and run the reference calls. You choose the vendor and own the contract.

How long does an EOR RFP take with you?

Typically 3–6 weeks: about a week to lock weighted requirements with stakeholders, two to three weeks of vendor response time, and a week to score, reference-check and write the recommendation.

What does the committee actually receive?

A weighted requirements document, every vendor’s scored response, a side-by-side evaluation matrix, reference-check notes, and a recommendation memo with the rationale and the runners-up.

What if we already shortlisted vendors?

Then we run the RFP across your shortlist, plus one or two providers you should at least see if the field looks thin. Every vendor you asked for stays in.
