Great EOR for growing teams abroad

What they like best

We needed an affordable EOR, and Columbus fit our budget perfectly. The onboarding was super smooth—contracts ready in just two days. I loved how human their team felt, not just chatbots. Our account manager Julia was patient with every question. They made it easy to understand local benefits and compliance for Spain and Portugal.

How they helped

Before Columbus, hiring abroad felt complicated. We didn't want to set up a legal entity for just one person. They handled contracts, taxes, payments—everything. Now we've got two happy team members in Europe, fully compliant with smooth payroll.

Really happy with how fast and simple everything is

What they like best

They were super fast in getting our team onboarded. I was surprised how quick it went, and believe i was so stress about hiring the whole team. The team actually replies to emails fast, which is rare these days.

How they helped

They helped us hire our first employee in Germany without opening a company there. Saves a lot of admin work every month, and we can just focus on the actual business instead of dealing with paperwork.

Affordable and smooth

What they like best

Cheapest EOR service we found so far, but the service quality is still great. Scott, the account manager was super kind and patient, even when we kept changing things last minute.

How they helped

We had contractors in Spain and Finland, and Columbus helped convert them into full-time employees easily. Big relief to have it all compliant now.

Hire With Columbus is cheaper than most EORs, while offering quality services.

What they like best

They have a fantastic onboarding system, affordable prices and great customer support.

How they helped

Hiring full-time employees from another country, without setting up a company there. I hired 2 employees from Ukraine, and one from Serbia, whereas Hire With Columbus manages their employee benefits, and I completely handle the employees' workflow and tasks.

Good for startups on a budget!

What they like best

It's affordable. We're a small startup and needed an EOR that wouldn't kill our budget, and Columbus was literally the cheapest we found. The process is easy to understand, and the people are nice to talk to.

How they helped

Helps us manage employees abroad without having to register entities or worry about taxes.
