Toptal

Toptal operates HireGlobal, a global employment platform that lets companies onboard, manage and pay workers in more than 180 countries without setting up a local entity. Its hiring models include Employer of Record, a Virtual Employer of Record option, contractor management and Agent of Record arrangements, so clients can engage staff in Thailand and other markets under locally compliant contracts.

The platform combines these hiring models with an HR information system covering hiring, payroll, benefits administration and compliance in one place. Payments are supported in over 50 currencies with consolidated invoicing, and contracts are handled against local and international labour law requirements. Workers added to the platform receive automatic limited indemnification, with $1 million compliance indemnification per worker available through the Virtual Employer of Record model.

HireGlobal reports more than $5 billion processed in payroll and payments and over 33,000 companies using the service across its supported countries, drawing on more than 15 years of compliance experience. It serves both scaling startups and established international brands looking to build distributed teams.
