The Problem

Hiring in a new country usually means setting up a local entity, registering for payroll tax, opening a bank account and learning a labour code. That's eight to twelve weeks before your first hire even starts.

Hire
We draft a locally-compliant employment contract, run any background checks needed, and onboard your hire within a week. They start work as a Cosmos employee, working for you.
Pay
Cosmos runs your hire's payroll, taxes, social security and statutory contributions in the country they work in. You see one consolidated invoice each month.
Manage
We handle benefits, leave, performance documentation, contract amendments and terminations to local employment law. You decide how the role evolves.
