Frequently asked questions
1. What is a country hiring guide for Employer of Record (EOR)?
A country hiring guide for Employer of Record (EOR) is a practical reference that explains how to hire and manage employees in a specific country, including labor laws, payroll rules, benefits, taxes, and compliance requirements. Serviap Global’s country guides are designed to help you understand the basics of local employment before you start hiring through our EOR, contractor, or immigration services.
2. How do Serviap Global’s Country Guides help my global expansion strategy?
Serviap Global’s Country Guides give you a fast snapshot of each market so you can compare countries, understand hiring costs, and identify compliance risks before committing to an entity or long-term investment. By combining these guides with our EOR services, you can test new markets quickly, hire local talent in days instead of months, and scale up or down without setting up a legal entity.
3. Which countries are covered by your EOR country guides?
Our Country Guide hub focuses especially on key markets in Latin America and Europe, including Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico, Panama, Peru, Spain, Argentina and more. As Serviap Global supports hiring in 180+ countries, the library continues to grow as new markets are added or updated.
4. What information can I find in each country guide?
Each Serviap Global country guide typically covers:
Core economic indicators (such as GDP and GDP per capita)
Key employment laws and worker protections
Typical hiring models and contract types
Payroll, taxes, and social security obligations
Public holidays and working-time rules
Local benefits and market-standard packages
How our EOR, contractor, and immigration services operate in that country
This structure mirrors what leading EOR providers include in their country resources but is tailored to our expertise and focus on compliant hiring.
5. Are Serviap Global’s country hiring guides free to use?
Yes. Our country hiring guides are free resources that you can access at any time to support your international expansion planning. They are designed to help you make better decisions before you speak with our team, similar to our other free resources and downloadable guides.
6. Do I need to be an existing Serviap Global client to use the country guides?
No. You can explore the Country Guide hub even if you are just researching your options. Many companies use our guides at an early planning stage to shortlist countries or build an internal business case, and then book a call with our team when they are ready to move forward with EOR, contractor, or visa and immigration services.
7. How often are the EOR country guides updated?
We review and update our country guides regularly to reflect changes in local labor laws, payroll regulations, and economic indicators. Since employment rules can change frequently, we also encourage companies to contact our in-country experts for the latest guidance before finalizing hiring decisions or employment contracts.
8. How do the Country Guides connect with your EOR, contractor, and immigration services?
The Country Guide hub is the starting point: it helps you understand the basics of hiring in each market. From there, our EOR services take care of compliant employment, payroll, and benefits; our Contractor of Record solution helps you engage freelancers compliantly; and our visas and immigration team supports work permits and relocation where needed. This end-to-end approach aligns your country research with a concrete execution model.
9. Can I use the country guides to compare different expansion options?
Yes. The way our hub presents each country—with economic indicators, labor context, and links to detailed guides—makes it easier to compare markets side by side. Many clients use these insights to evaluate questions like “Should we start with Mexico or Brazil?” or “Is Spain a better entry point to Europe than another market?” before choosing an EOR strategy.
10. After reading a country guide, how quickly can I start hiring with Serviap Global’s EOR services?
Once you have identified your target country and role profiles, you can typically start hiring through Serviap Global’s Employer of Record services in a matter of days, not months. We handle local contracts, onboarding, payroll, and benefits so you can focus on building and managing your team while maintaining full operational control. Timelines may vary by country and role complexity, but using the country guides in advance usually speeds up the process.
11. Are the country guides only focused on Latin America, or do you cover other regions too?
Serviap Global has deep roots and on-the-ground expertise in Latin America, which is why many of our featured guides highlight countries like Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, and others in the region. At the same time, we support hiring in more than 180 countries worldwide and are expanding our library of guides to reflect that global coverage, including Europe and other strategic markets.
12. How can I get help if I still have questions after reading a country guide?
If you still have questions after reviewing a guide, you can request a quote or contact our team directly from the Country Guide hub. Our specialists will clarify any country-specific details, share hiring scenarios, and help you decide whether EOR, contractor management, or another solution is the best fit for your expansion plan.
