The Challenge: Navigating the Costs and Legalities of Employing US Workers
With a huge UK presence, this recruitment agency knew expanding into the US could diversify their business. However, differing employment regulations meant there would be significant challenges. The biggest obstacle in the road was sourcing affordable healthcare plans to attract US contractors.
They needed to establish a compliant and cost-effective way to hire contractors without getting bogged down by US-specific employment laws.
That’s where Workwell Global made it work for them.
How Workwell Global Helped
As a global Employer of Record, with deep expertise in the US, we worked with the recruitment agency every step of the way to ensure that they remained compliant when placing contractors, supporting them in offering an attractive benefits package to both their contractors and internal staff.
Here’s how we made it work for them:
- Top-tier Benefits Plans – we addressed this agency’s primary concern by tapping into our established networks and providing access to high-quality healthcare plans for this recruitment agency’s contractors without minimum participation requirements. This became a competitive advantage in attracting US talent.
- US Market Training – we supported this client with contract review assistance in unfamiliar US territory. Our experts, with deep expertise in the US, ran tailored consultations to help them successfully negotiate new deals and secure new business.
- Employment Compliance – we shared our local expertise, empowering their team of recruitment consultants to confidently navigate a new and unfamiliar market, offering one-to-one support on any questions they had on employment laws.
- Custom Invoicing Tool – we created a custom invoicing tool with data integration that streamlined their internal US invoicing and payment process.
- Visa Sponsorship – after a solid relationship was built between this agency and Workwell Global, we agreed to support their internal workers who required a TN visa to work in Canada. The visa sponsorships opened doors for the recruitment firm by helping expand their worker base.
