What is G-P?
G-P, founded as Globalization Partners by Nicole Sahin in 2012, set out to let companies hire abroad without opening entities. It now acts as employer of record in 180+ countries.
As legal employer, G-P runs contracts, payroll, tax filings, benefits and offboarding while you direct the work. Its edge is ownership: 100+ wholly owned entities, so fewer hires depend on third-party partners.
Pricing starts at $599 per employee a month, with no minimum contract term, and $39 per contractor in months you pay an invoice. That matches Deel and sits above Multiplier’s $459 annual rate, and G-P does not publish its security deposit terms.

G-P Review: Editor’s Verdict
With 100+ wholly owned entities, G-P carries more of the legal employer’s risk itself than an EOR that resells partner coverage.
G-P is the EOR to shortlist when an employment mistake would cost more than the fee. At $599 per employee a month it is priced level with Deel, with 100+ wholly owned entities behind its 180+ country coverage.
Mid-market and enterprise teams hiring into strict labor markets get the most from it, and native Workday, SAP SuccessFactors and ADP integrations suit companies running a central HCM.

G-P Pros & Cons 2026
G-P’s strengths sit in legal infrastructure and enterprise fit. Its weaknesses show up in the day-to-day admin experience and in what the price page leaves out.
Strengths
100+ wholly owned entities
G-P employs through its own entities across much of its footprint, which shortens the chain of liability when a termination or audit goes wrong.
Published rate, no lock-in
$599 a month with no minimum contract length, so a six-month hire carries no annual commitment.
Enterprise HCM integrations
Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, ADP Workforce Now, UKG Pro and BambooHR sync employee data natively. Okta and Entra ID handle access.
In-country HR specialists
Reviewers single out local experts for questions on pensions, notice periods and enforceable clauses.
Four ISO certifications
ISO/IEC 27001, 27017, 27018 and 42001.
Pay-per-use contractor billing
The $39 contractor fee applies only in months you pay an invoice, which suits quarterly or milestone-based contractors.
Areas to Watch
Clunky admin navigation
G2 users describe the interface as clicky and fragmented, with slow page loads and contracts filed in more than one place.
Deposit only revealed in quote
You won’t know the deposit until sales tells you.
Ticket support varies by region
Account managers draw consistent praise. Frontline tickets do not: reviewers cite auto-closed chats and re-explaining issues to new agents.
Full rate for small teams
Discounts are tied to volume, so a company with two hires pays $599 each while Multiplier lists $459 on an annual plan.
What do G-P’s strengths and drawbacks mean in practice?
The strengths favour mid-market and enterprise teams: owned entities, HCM integrations and in-country HR specialists reduce legal and operational risk.
The drawbacks are about transparency and usability. The deposit appears only in a quote, volume discounts are negotiated, and G2 reviewers describe the admin interface as clunky.
G-P Top Features
G-P’s case is ownership: 100+ wholly owned entities and a compliance engine behind them, with HCM integrations on top. The rest is a standard EOR lifecycle plus a contractor product and an AI compliance agent.
Differentiators
Owned entity network
StrongG-P employs through 100+ wholly owned entities.
G-P operates 100+ wholly owned legal entities, so in those markets the company on your employee’s contract is G-P itself. That matters most at termination, where an owned entity answers directly for severance and notice.
In the rest of its 180+ countries, ask which partner holds the contract.
Global Compliance Engine
StrongCompliance rules and regulatory alerts built into the platform.
G-P encodes local labor rules for its 180+ countries and checks contracts, onboarding steps, payroll runs and benefit changes against them. Errors surface before they reach payroll rather than after a filing.
G-P reports a 100% pass rate on compliance reviews and audits, a vendor figure buyers cannot verify independently.
HCM integrations and API
Strong15 native integrations, including Workday, SAP SuccessFactors and UKG.
Fifteen native integrations cover payroll, HCM and identity tools, with G-P apps built directly on Workday and an SAP BTP connector. The developer platform offers 25+ endpoints with OAuth 2.0 and a sandbox.
An MCP server connects G-P data to AI tools and core HR systems.

How does G-P Contractor differ from G-P EOR?

EOR fees only, same headcount
G-P lists $599 as a starting rate with no minimum term. Deel bills month to month at $599, and Multiplier’s monthly-billing rate is $499.
What does G-P cost for a real team?
At the calculator defaults, five EOR employees and two contractors, G-P’s service fee is $3,073 a month, or $36,876 a year. That is $2,995 for the employees at $599 and $78 for the contractors at $39.
The same five employees cost $2,995 a month at Deel and $2,495 at Multiplier on monthly billing. $599 is a starting rate, volume discounts are negotiated, and the deposit is only disclosed in a quote, so ask for all three in writing.

Is G-P the Right EOR for You?
G-P earns its place when legal exposure is the main risk. If cost per head or a fast admin experience ranks higher, other providers fit better.
Best for
- Hiring into strict labor markets where a bad termination is expensive
- Workday, SAP SuccessFactors or UKG shops that want EOR data inside the HCM
- Mid-market and enterprise teams converting contractors or closing entities
- Short engagements that need no minimum contract term
- Legal teams that want a disclosed owned-entity count
Skip if
- You want the lowest published rate: Multiplier lists $459 a month on annual terms
- You want EOR, contractors and a free HRIS in one tool: Deel bundles all three
- You need deposit terms in writing before the first sales call
- You are hiring one or two people and will never reach volume pricing
Short version. G-P fits mid-market and enterprise teams hiring into strict labor markets, where owned entities and compliance depth matter more than price. If price decides it, check Multiplier or RemoFirst first.
