Agile EOR™

The Employer of Record built for recruiters. You make the placements while we take care of the rest.

Easily Start Up and Scale Up in the USA and Canada

Agile EOR helps you as a recruitment leader quickly and profitably grow your business in North America. Your team focuses on the two things that matter-- finding clients and making placements-- and Agile serves as the Employer of Record (or Agent of Record) for your contract workers.

Compliant onboarding across the U.S. and Canada

Full employment & risk management (classification, insurance, compliance)

Timesheets, invoicing, and collections

End-to-end payroll processing (taxes, pay stubs, reporting)

Benefits administration (health, dental, vision, 401(k), and more)

Integrated payroll funding options to eliminate cash flow gaps

Is Agile EOR™ Right for Your Staffing Firm?

Your choice of model depends on your growth stage and cash position. An EOR model is usually the best fit if you're facing these scenarios:

Entering North America

You’re scaling in the USA or Canada but don’t have the local entity, insurance, or legal infrastructure to hire. 

Operational Speed

You need to onboard a contractor tomorrow but don’t have time to navigate state-side registrations or tax nexus.

Risk Mitigation

You want a partner to own the employment risk, including workers' comp and legal liability, so you don't have to.

Enterprise-Grade Automation
You see competitors using AI and automation to win, but the tech stack cost is too much to take on alone.

Three Flexible Models Tailored to Your Growth

One size doesn't fit all in staffing. We offer three distinct EOR models based on who signs the contract and who funds the payroll.

Full Service

Agile signs the staffing agreement using our insurances. We handle onboarding, invoicing, and payroll funding.


Best for: Startups and UK firms just entering the North American market.

Hybrid

You sign the client agreement. Agile serves as the EOR, pays the worker, and manages client invoicing on your behalf.


Best for: Mid-sized firms with US entities that need funding support.

White Label

You sign the agreement and use your own funding. Agile onboards the worker and invoices your firm for the payroll costs.


Best for: Established firms with global credit lines who want a seamless brand experience.

Embedded Funding

Optional funding that's built-in, not bolted on

Affordable payroll funding built right into our EOR services. We handle invoicing, credit risk and cash flow so you can focus on making your next placement.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between EOR and PEO?

The primary distinction lies in legal responsibility. With an Employer of Record (EOR), Agile becomes the sole legal employer, assuming 100% of the risk and compliance burden. In contrast, a PEO uses a "co-employment" model where your firm retains significant legal liability and administrative tasks. Additionally, Agile EOR™ includes all necessary business and workers' compensation insurances, whereas PEOs typically charge extra for these coverages.

What is embedded funding?

Embedded funding eliminates the cash flow gap between paying your contractors and receiving client remittances. By leveraging your client's credit, Agile advances 100% of your payroll costs. Unlike traditional factoring, this is integrated directly into your EOR service, allowing you to scale your headcount without draining your own cash reserves.

Is payroll funding mandatory with your EOR service?

No. While funding is embedded in our Full Service and Hybrid models, our White Label model allows you to utilize your own capital or existing credit lines.

How quickly can we onboard a new contractor?

In most cases, we can begin the onboarding process within 24 hours of receiving the placement details, provided all compliance documentation is ready.

What is the process when a contract assignment ends?

We manage the full offboarding lifecycle, including final pay compliance and equipment return logistics. This keeps the experience professional for the worker and legally secure for your agency.

Do you offer coverage in all 50 U.S. states?

Yes. Our EOR services provide full compliance and workers' compensation coverage across the entire United States and Canada.

What is the minimum number of workers needed to start a business with an Employer of Record (EOR)?

Unlike Professional Employer Organizations (PEOs), which typically require a minimum of five to ten employees, EORs have no such restrictions and can accommodate organizations with just one employee.
