Creating a world-class team starts with being flexible. The most forward-thinking companies see independent talent as a strategic advantage—driving growth and delivering real results. 

At MBO Partners, we offer Employer of Record (EOR) and Agent of Record (AOR) solutions that let you confidently engage independent professionals while minimizing risk and staying compliant—no matter where or how they work. 

What It Takes for EOR/AOR Providers to Develop a Successful Workforce

MBO makes working with independent professionals simple and secure, starting with the foundation of compliance: proper worker classification. 

Getting Worker Classification Right from Day One

Worker misclassification is a widespread issue. According to the National Employment Law Project, misclassification impacts 10–30% of U.S. employers—and this issue occurs globally as well. Organizations across industries face this challenge, with each case bringing unique classification requirements and potential penalties. 

That’s where experience makes the difference. MBO has supported hundreds of clients across diverse workforce models, developing a clear, step-by-step assessment process that removes the guesswork. From London to Las Vegas, we provide EOR and AOR services that keep your workforce compliant. Our proven approach helps businesses navigate the challenges of workforce management while ensuring compliance with local laws and regulations. 

When questions come up (and they will), you’ll have a knowledge partner in your corner. We help you understand not just what to do, but why it matters for your overall talent strategy.

Starting Out Strong With Thorough Vetting

A strong start sets the stage for long-term success. MBO’s EOR and AOR services cover everything from payroll services to insurance verification, and we tailor our approach to your specific projects while maintaining quality standards. 

Our onboarding process ensures both you and your independent professionals feel confident from day one. Clear, transparent communication keeps everyone aligned and avoids unnecessary delays. 

The results speak for themselves: A global consulting firm partnered with MBO Partners as their Employer of Record to simplify independent contractor engagement, saving $47 million while managing nearly 350 contractors across six business units. 

Creating Flexibility That Works

The independent workforce is redefining how work gets done. Our 2024 State of Independence report shows 72.7 million independent workers in the U.S. alone—and that number keeps growing worldwide. This means your talent strategy needs to be inclusive of independent workers who are the future of the workforce. 

Flexibility demands structure. Our EOR and AOR solutions create frameworks for every work arrangement—onsite, remote, or hybrid—ensuring compliance while attracting top talent. 

Consider us as your compass, guiding you on your journey. You’ll move forward with the best independent talent available while staying on the right path when it comes to compliance.

Making Payroll Simple

Complicated payment systems can slow you down. Whether you’re using our platform or your existing VMS, our EOR and AOR services build a process that handles these responsibilities for you. 

Timely payments help build trust. Our system ensures accurate payments while handling tax and administrative requirements for various types of projects. 

A real-world example: One of the world’s leading consumer electronics retailers partnered with MBO to maintain direct contractor relationships while avoiding a costly transition to a payroll model. The results: lower costs, satisfied talent, and fast turnaround on on-demand projects. 

Bringing Clarity to Your Workforce Budget

A recent Gartner survey found that 15% of CFOs expect rising costs to be a major challenge in 2025. Now imagine turning one of your most complex cost centers—workforce management—into a strategic advantage. 

MBO’s platform gives your finance team real-time visibility and control over independent workforce spending, replacing spreadsheets and siloed systems with one intuitive dashboard that: 

  • Tracks budgets in real time 
  • Keeps financial insights up to date 
  • Delivers instant spending reports 

No more manual reconciliations or missed deadlines. Just accurate, audit-ready financials all in one place. 

Creating Stronger Talent Retention Strategies

According to a Gallup study, 42% of people leaving their jobs could have been prevented. For independent talent, retention starts with strong relationships. 

Our EOR/AOR services help you gain access to a vast talent network. As a result, you can quickly rehire professionals who already understand your company’s culture and processes. This leads to shorter ramp-up times and faster project execution. 

Think of it as building your own high-value talent community ready to scale with your business.
