About eor.asia

eor.asia exists because hiring in Asia is genuinely hard and the information available to most companies is either outdated, vendor-produced, or written by people who have never dealt with an EPFO audit, a 36 Agreement violation, or a Manpower Law termination. We are fixing that.

What We Cover

We review Employer of Record (EOR) providers — the platforms that let companies hire employees in Asia without setting up a local entity. We also publish country-specific compliance guides, head-to-head comparisons, and operational guides for HR teams and founders building teams across Southeast Asia, South Asia, and East Asia.

Every piece of content on this site is written to answer a specific operational question: how much does CPF cost, which EOR has an owned entity in Vietnam, what happens if you terminate an employee in South Korea without documented cause. If it doesn't answer a question a real hiring manager would ask, we don't publish it.

The Research Process

Each provider review scores across five dimensions:

  • Compliance depth — owned entity vs partner model, in-country legal teams, statutory contribution handling
  • Pricing — published rates, fee transparency, total cost of employment (EOR fee + employer contributions)
  • Onboarding speed — time to first payroll in each covered market
  • Platform quality — employee portal, HRIS integrations, self-service capability
  • Support — response times, in-country vs remote support, escalation paths

Scores draw from published product documentation, aggregated user reviews on G2 and Capterra, compliance framework verification, and direct platform access where available. Providers are notified of published reviews but have no editorial input.

Editorial Team

Anchal Katyal

Founder & Editor-in-Chief

Anchal has spent over a decade working across product strategy, category management, and market expansion in Asia and the Middle East. She built eor.asia after repeatedly running into the same problem: the available information on EOR providers was either written by the vendors themselves or too generic to be useful when you actually needed to make a decision. Her reviews focus on compliance depth, entity ownership, payroll accuracy, and in-country support quality, not marketing claims. She has evaluated EOR platforms for companies ranging from early-stage startups to enterprise teams managing hundreds of employees across the region.
