To ensure absolute compliance and operational ease, they also offer optional Employer of Record (EOR) and Contractor of Record (COR) services, complete with localized HR, IT, and payroll support. What sets Pear Tree apart in the crowded remote staffing space is its rigorous 6-step vetting process, an industry-leading 6-month replacement guarantee, and an ethical commitment to ensuring offshore talent is paid fairly—resulting in a massive 90% first-year retention rate and up to 80% monthly payroll savings for their clients.
