Country fit & local delivery
Regional model
Locations distinguishes six direct-employment markets (South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Kenya, Mauritius, Zambia) from contractor engagement through local partners elsewhere. The headline 46-country reach is not 46 verified EOR entities; the EOR page uses broader wording. Obtain the employing company and employment model for each proposed hire.
