Start with the work, not the label
If you want someone on your team for an ongoing role, Get Scaled can help you hire and employ them through employer of record, or EOR, where you do not have a local entity.
If the work is clearly short term or project based, a contractor may be the better fit. Get Scaled can still recruit the person and, where needed, engage and pay them as a contractor of record.
When employer of record makes sense
EOR is usually the better route when you want a long-term team member and the client still manages the day-to-day work.
Through Get Scaled, the employment side is handled for you, including contracts, payroll, taxes and local employment compliance, so you do not need to open a subsidiary just to hire.

When a contractor is the better fit
A contractor usually suits a defined piece of work, a fixed scope, or a role you do not need on the team long term.
That can be the right call when flexibility matters more than employment.
Short projects
Specialist tasks
Interim support
Work that does not call for a permanent team seat
What Get Scaled does in each case
If you need to recruit, Get Scaled finds candidates and shares a vetted shortlist, usually within five days of starting the search.
If you already know the person you want, Get Scaled can still help by employing them through EOR or engaging them as a contractor, depending on what fits the role.
