The case:

In mid-2024, a UK-based e-commerce company approached Acvian with a request to support its business expansion in Eastern Europe and Asia. The company wanted to hire overseas teams of developers and customer support specialists. Acvian ensured full compliance, transparent cost modeling, and efficient onboarding, helping the company cut hiring costs by 40% and speed up time-to-hire.

‍

‍

Key figures:

Average cost reduction: 40% per employee

Time saved (as opposed to other onboarding scenarios): up to 6 weeks

‍

‍

The challenge:

The client needed to lower total hiring expenses while ensuring compliance with local laws. The main concern was the lack of visibility into real employment costs. The company was also looking for a faster, more predictable, and streamlined hiring process.

‍

‍

The solution:

Acvian prepared a transparent cost model for each target country, clearly outlining taxes, benefits, and employer obligations. Our team also conducted salary benchmarking and total compensation planning to align offers with local standards. Additionally, a contract-to-hire model was implemented for selected employees, giving the client company flexibility to test new markets before making permanent commitments.

‍

‍

The outcome:

Our client successfully hired new teams across several countries, cutting average hiring costs by 40% and reducing time-to-hire from 8 weeks to just 2. No compliance fines or hidden costs occurred, allowing the company to scale confidently and allocate saved resources toward key business goals.

Setting up local entities and managing compliance independently often leads to significant administrative and legal costs. With an EOR partner like Acvian, companies gain immediate access to a fully compliant hiring infrastructure, transparent pricing, and market insights. This reduces both time and expenses associated with international hiring.
