Employer of Record Services
Already found the person you want to hire? Lakeshore Talent can help you put the right employment arrangement in place. Our Employer of Record services support eligible workers with onboarding, payroll, benefits coordination, HR administration, and ongoing support while your team directs their day-to-day work.
Based in Denver, Lakeshore Talent supports employers hiring in Colorado and across the United States. Whether you need to employ someone you selected in another state, support a contingent worker, or reduce the administrative work behind a growing team, we can help you assess the next step.
What Does an Employer of Record Do
An Employer of Record, or EOR, employs an eligible worker under an agreed arrangement and manages defined employment responsibilities. Lakeshore Talent can handle employment paperwork, payroll and tax withholdings, benefits administration for eligible workers, workers’ compensation coordination, and ongoing HR support. Your business remains responsible for directing the person’s daily work, priorities, and performance.
The scope of each engagement depends on the worker’s location, role, classification, and contract terms. We review those details with you before recommending an EOR arrangement.
When EOR Services Make Sense
An Employer of Record, also known as an EOR, is a third-party organization that legally employs workers on your behalf. Your company manages the worker’s daily responsibilities, performance, and business priorities, while the EOR manages the employment administration.
An Employer of Record can manage:
If you also need to find candidates, Lakeshore Talent can help through its recruiting services. The employment arrangement and the recruiting work can be discussed together or separately.
How the EOR Partnership Works
1
Tell us about the worker and the role. Share the work location, duties, intended start date, and the employment support you need. You can bring a person you have already identified.
2
Review the arrangement. We discuss the worker’s circumstances, service scope, onboarding requirements, and pricing before the engagement begins.
3
Onboard and support the worker. Lakeshore Talent coordinates the agreed employment administration and provides a point of contact for ongoing payroll, benefits, and HR questions while your team manages day-to-day work.
EOR Support in Colorado and Across the United States
Lakeshore Talent is headquartered in Denver and also has a Chicago office. We work with employers hiring in Colorado and other U.S. states, including organizations building remote or distributed teams. Through our relationship with People 2.0, we can discuss broader hiring needs, including international locations, based on the specific role and jurisdiction.
For a Colorado employer hiring elsewhere, or an out-of-state company hiring in Colorado, the starting point is the same: tell us where the worker will perform the work and what support your team needs.
EOR Compared With Payroll and Staffing
A payroll processor typically runs payroll for workers your company employs. In an EOR arrangement, another organization serves as the employer for the eligible worker and handles the employment responsibilities set out in the agreement. The word “payrolling” is used for different service models, so ask who will employ the worker and which services are included.
If you need Lakeshore Talent to source and place professionals for a defined assignment, explore our contract staffing services. If you are hiring for a permanent role and need recruiting support, see our direct hire staffing services. If you already have the worker and primarily need an employment arrangement, start here.
Choosing an Employer of Record Company
If you are comparing EOR providers, ask how each company handles onboarding, worker questions, and the coordination between recruiting and employment administration. For more than 25 years, Lakeshore Talent has supported employers with staffing and workforce solutions. Our EOR service combines that experience with dedicated account support. You have a person to contact about onboarding and employment administration, and your workers have a team to contact about the support included in their arrangement.
We will help you determine whether EOR fits the worker you have in mind and explain the responsibilities, service scope, and next steps before onboarding.
Employer of Record Questions
No. You can bring a worker you have already identified. We will review the role and location to determine whether an EOR arrangement is appropriate. Recruiting support is also available when you need help finding candidates.
Staffing services generally include finding and placing talent. EOR services focus on the agreed employment arrangement and administration for an eligible worker. Lakeshore Talent can discuss both needs when you need recruiting and employment support.
Lakeshore Talent supports employers hiring across the United States. The available arrangement and onboarding steps depend on where the worker will work, the role, and applicable employment requirements.
EOR payroll support can include wage processing, applicable tax withholdings, benefits deductions, and related employment records. The full service scope may also cover onboarding, HR support, and insurance administration; confirm the details for your engagement.
We can review a proposed contingent worker arrangement and discuss appropriate options. An EOR arrangement does not automatically resolve worker classification questions. The facts of the working relationship determine the appropriate structure.
Eligible workers may have access to health, dental, vision, and retirement options, depending on the arrangement and plan terms. We will explain eligibility and enrollment during the review and onboarding process.
