THE OPERATING LAYER FOR GLOBAL TEAMS
Hiring across borders is easy. Managing it at scale is not.
Swivelt employs your people in 30+ countries and runs payroll, contracts, compliance and HR operations as one system. You direct the work. We run the operations underneath it, technology and local experts together, a simple extension of your team
WHEN THIS FITS
You are building a team across borders
Managing is the hard part
The first hire abroad was straightforward. Onboarding, reviews, leave and benefits across markets is the harder part.
The back-office multiplies
Every new country adds another layer of employment, payroll and compliance to run
No single view
Payroll, contracts and compliance sit across different tools and countries, with no one place to see them.
WHAT SWIVELT RUNS
The whole operating layer, as one system
Employs your people locally
Swivelt is the legal employer in 30+ countries, on its own entities, so employment is local and compliant.
Onboarding and offboarding
The full employee lifecycle handled in each market, from first day to last.
HR operations, day to day
Leave, expenses, benefits, performance and reporting, run on the iStrives platform.
Payroll as one system
Every country and currency on one platform, with one consolidated view of cost, rather than a separate cycle in each country.
Compliance, monitored
Contracts, statutory contributions and local employment law handled, and tracked as the rules change.
Technology and people
A dedicated manager and local HR experts alongside the platform, a simple extension of your team.
HOW IT WORKS
You direct the work. We run the operations.
3 steps
to get started
1
You bring the people and markets
You decide who joins the team and which countries you are growing into.
2
Swivelt employs and operates
We become the legal employer locally and run the contract, payroll, compliance, onboarding and HR operations as one system.
3
You manage, we run the operations
You set priorities and performance. We keep employment and operations running, with one point of contact and one view of cost.
WHAT SWIVELT RUNS
We run the operating layer underneath your global team.
Not just a contract in a country where you have no presence. The payroll, the compliance, the onboarding and the HR operations, run as one system, not forty separate ones. You add the next country, and we run the operations that come with it.
TEAMS THAT SCALED THIS WAY
We were introduced to Swivelt nearly 2 years ago and we have progressed as a business quicker than expected.
We no longer have contractual risks, as the team are employed correctly and the payroll process is straightforward with very little complications. Due to the support of Swivelt, we have been able to enter new countries and have peace of mind that our employees are taken care of.
If you are seeking a flexible, supportive and hard working Employee of Record Company, then I would highly recommend Swivelt.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Cost, control and speed
What does Swivelt actually run?
Swivelt is the legal employer in 30+ countries and runs payroll, contracts, compliance, onboarding and day-to-day HR operations as one system. You direct the work, we carry the operations underneath it.
Hiring is easy enough. What changes at scale?
One hire in one country is manageable. Across several, payroll, compliance and HR fragment across tools and countries. Swivelt runs them as one system with one view of cost, so adding a country does not add another back-office.
Who manages the employee day to day?
You do. You set the work, goals and priorities. Swivelt is the legal employer and runs the contract, payroll, compliance and HR operations.
How does Swivelt handle payroll across countries?
Every country and currency on one platform, with one consolidated view of cost, instead of separate cycles and formats in each country.
What HR operations does Swivelt cover?
Onboarding and offboarding, leave, expenses, benefits, performance and reporting, run on the iStrives platform, with a dedicated manager and local HR experts alongside it.
Do we need our own entity to use Swivelt?
No. Swivelt employs your people on its own local entities. It also works if you already have an entity and want to simplify how you employ and manage people
Can we convert existing contractors to employees?
Yes. Swivelt moves them onto compliant local employment and runs the payroll, statutory benefits and HR operations from there, reducing the misclassification exposure that builds up with long-term contractors.
What does it cost?
Two models. A fixed fee from $199 per employee per month for predictable budgeting, or a variable fee of 12 to 18 percent of compensation that reduces as your team grows. We will fit the right one to your case on the call.
