Looking to hire offshore or nearshore—without opening a local entity?
If you’re scaling a remote team and eyeing Jamaica or the wider Caribbean, a Professional Employer Organization (PEO) or Employer of Record (EOR) is the fastest, safest route. With TalentBox Caribbean as your local partner, you can hire in weeks—not months, run compliant payroll, deliver competitive benefits, and stay aligned with local labour laws—all while focusing on your core business.
PEO vs. EOR (Quick Guide)
- EOR (Employer of Record): We become the legal employer for your team members in Jamaica or other Caribbean markets. We handle employment contracts, payroll, taxes, statutory deductions, benefits, and compliance. You manage the day-to-day work.
- PEO: We co-employ your team and manage HR administration—payroll, benefits, compliance—while you remain the legal employer. Best when you already have (or plan to set up) a local entity.
