Onyx’s challenge
With clients spread across the world, Onyx CenterSource needed to build a workforce that matched its global scope. The payments provider enlisted Launch Global to recruit talent across borders but soon hit a snag: Many top candidates lived in countries where Onyx did not have entities. Seeking to compliantly hire talent regardless of entity status, Onyx Senior Vice President of HR Becky Ospina turned to Launch Global for advice.
“We did not want to be bound by geographic limitations when hiring top talent,” Ospina said. “We wanted to hire the best people regardless of their location. That’s when Launch Global advised us to consider an EOR solution.”
Launch Global connected Ospina with its trusted EOR partner, Velocity Global, to help her take the next step. Working with an EOR would help Onyx legally onboard, pay, and support the candidates that Launch Global identified—no entities required. It would also remove the heavy burden of international compliance, payroll, benefits, and HR support from Ospina’s shoulders.
Velocity Global’s solution
Ospina vetted Velocity Global with three expectations in mind: worldwide scope, comprehensive legal expertise, and streamlined communication.
Ospina needed her EOR partner to be everywhere she wanted to hire and support talent—no restrictions, no gaps. Because Ospina’s team lacked the time, resources, and expertise to wade through local labor laws, she also needed a partner that would ensure compliance. Finally, Ospina needed her partner to understand Onyx’s unique needs and clearly communicate throughout every stage of global hiring—from onboarding to ongoing talent management.
In Velocity Global, Ospina found a full-service partner that met her every need in over 185 countries.
Shared success
With Launch Global as its recruiter and Velocity Global as its EOR, Onyx compliantly added more than 35 international employees in less than six months. Velocity Global now helps Onyx provide payroll, benefits, and local HR support in countries such as Mexico, Ireland, Portugal, China, Greece, and Sweden.
Ospina appreciates that Velocity Global provides the expertise and resources her teams need to easily onboard, manage, and support talent across multiple countries—with full compliance. While Ospina can turn to a single point of contact whenever she needs help, she can also rest assured her talent is well taken care of by Velocity Global account managers who deliver consistent, top-tier support worldwide.
Ospina also values her EOR partner’s global scope and all-encompassing capabilities. “The biggest benefit Velocity Global provides my managers and me is the element of flexibility,” Ospina said. “From covering a wide array of time zones and geographic markets to offering benefits packages of all sizes and complexities, Velocity Global does everything we need them to do.”
Onyx expects soon to add supported employees in at least two additional countries. As Onyx continues to grow its global footprint, Ospina and her team are thrilled about what’s possible with the combined power of Velocity Global and Launch Global.
“Launch Global has been instrumental in sourcing the world’s best candidates, while the seamless hand-off to Velocity Global makes the whole process easy for our company and our talent,” Ospina said. “Velocity Global and Launch Global have completely transformed our hiring approach by helping us easily find, onboard, and support top talent anywhere.”
