Challenge
BLUESPARK faced significant barriers when expanding into Malaysia and Norway, particularly in hiring. They needed to establish compliant employment without setting up legal entities, requiring adherence to varying labour laws and tax regulations.
Blue Spark is a global energy services company with corporate headquarters in Canada and subsidiaries in the US and UK. Given the nature of our business, many of our team members are based around the world. As we are still as small company, we are not able to employ individuals in all countries. This is where Leap29 has been an incredible partner for us in bringing on new employees around the world. Today they have helped us bring on individuals based in Norway and Malaysia. One of the key factors for us in selecting an EOR is the seamless integration of our new hires. We want all of our employees to feel fully connected and a part of Blue Spark Energy. Our partners at Leap29 have made sure that our new employees don't feel disconnected in any way. They ensure they have access to all the pertinent platforms and have an ease of communication when needed. Our collaboration over the past year has significantly streamlined our international hiring process. I highly recommend Leap29 EOR Services to any company looking to simplify their international employment processes. Their comprehensive services, coupled with their professional and supportive team, have been a game-changer for us.They have truly become an extension of our HR department, and we couldn't be more pleased with the partnership.
