Six Services, Built Around How Hiring Actually Happens
Headhunting
We find the people others can’t. Direct outreach, structured assessment, 3-5 pre-vetted finalists.
Employer of Record
You find the talent, we make it legal. Employment, payroll, and compliance - globally.
Turnkey Staff Augmentation
Tell us the problem. We shape the role, source the people, and deliver the shortlist.
Contractor of Record
Compliance wrapper for your contractors. One frame agreement, one invoice.
Contractor Sourcing
Project-based specialists or full project teams - sourced, vetted, ready to start.
Build-Operate-Transfer
We build and run your team on our entity, so you can test the market and de-risk your entry. Then transfer everything to yours.
Which One Do You Actually Need?
| Service | Who Finds the Candidate | Speed | Compliance Owner | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Headhunting | Perpetum | 2–4 weeks (brief to shortlist) | You (Perpetum only searches; you employ) | Executive/leadership hires, hard-to-fill roles, companies with their own entity or EOR |
| Employer of Record | You | 5–10 business days (signed agreement to first day) | Perpetum | Companies that already found their candidate and need compliant employment fast |
| Turnkey Staff Augmentation | Perpetum | 3–8 weeks (discovery call to signed offer) | Perpetum | Companies with a clear (or vague) need who want the full lifecycle handled |
| Contractor of Record | You | 3–5 business days | Perpetum (compliance wrapper) | Companies already working with contractors globally who need a compliant structure |
| Contractor Sourcing | Perpetum | 1–3 weeks (brief to pre-screened shortlist) | Perpetum (via COR wrapper) | Companies needing project-based specialists or full contractor teams, sourced and vetted |
| Build-Operate-Transfer | Perpetum | Subject to specifics; most engagements reach Transfer-readiness in 18–36 months; min. team size 10 | Perpetum → You (on transfer) | Companies committed to a market 3+ years, building 15+ people, want to eventually own the entity |

Go Deeper Before You Decide
Still weighing your options? That’s normal. Choosing between Global Staffing Services usually comes down to two things: how much of the hiring process you want to own, and how long you plan to be in that market. Contractor vs Employer of Record: Which Is Right for Your Startup? breaks down the two most commonly confused models. If compliance is your main concern, Why US Companies Use an Employer of Record to Hire in Eastern Europe explains what EOR actually protects you from. And if you’ve tried staff augmentation before and it didn’t work, Your Staff-Augmented Developer Isn’t Delivering, Is It the People or the Process? is worth reading before you rule the model out.

Case Studies
FAQ
What's the difference between EOR and staff augmentation?
Employer of Record is for talent you’ve already found. Perpetum becomes the legal employer and handles payroll and compliance. Turnkey Staff Augmentation goes further back: we source, vet and deliver the team based on your brief, then handle employment once they’re approved.
Do I need a local entity to hire in Eastern Europe, LatAm, or India?
No. EOR and Contractor of Record both let you hire compliantly without setting up a local entity. An entity only becomes worth considering at larger team sizes, which is where Build-Operate-Transfer comes in.
Can I combine services, like headhunting into EOR?
Yes. Most engagements start with sourcing (Headhunting or Contractor Sourcing) and transition directly into employment (EOR or Contractor of Record) once a candidate is approved. One continuous handoff, not two separate vendors.
How is Perpetum different from platforms like Deel or Remote?
Those are self-serve platforms built for volume. Perpetum is a managed service with a named account manager, deeper vetting on the sourcing side and services like headhunting and staff augmentation that pure EOR platforms don’t offer at all.
Which service is right if I'm not sure what I need yet?
Start with a discovery call. Tell us the problem, not the service name, and we’ll recommend the right model or combination based on your budget, timeline and how much of the hiring process you want to own.
Do compliance and legal risk work differently across services?
Yes, significantly. Under EOR and Contractor of Record, Perpetum owns compliance. Under Headhunting and Contractor Sourcing, you own compliance once the candidate is engaged. This is exactly what the comparison table above breaks down service by service.
