One thing you should study is the legal and tax implications of the country.
Even though the legal system in India and the US are similar, foreign companies hiring employees in India will still be entering an unfamiliar and regulatory environment.
There are multiple options in hiring employees in India.
- Use third-party services, such as Upwork
- Offshore Hiring through Employer of Record
- Set up a legal entity in India to run payroll and taxes
Use third-party services (Upwork and Fiverr)
One of the best ways to hire employees in India is to have a third party local entity service to outsource employment and serve as intermediary in an existing employee-employer relationship, here’s a quick guide on how to do it.
Companies like Upwork offer numerous competent contractors with various skill sets. Moreover, this service cuts out a lot of the problems of hiring someone in India through other means.
Offshore Hiring through Employer of Record (EOR)
If you want to go further in finding talent and hiring employees from India locally, you can work with an EOR.
What is an Employer of Record (EOR)?
An Employer of Record is the official employer of an employee. They are a third-party organization used by businesses hiring international employees. The biggest benefit of this kind of hiring approach is that you avoid compliance issues, which can tie down your business and take away your peace of mind.
Set up a legal entity in India to start hiring and conducting payroll
If you are getting serious about putting down roots in India, then you have the possibility to hire and run payroll as a legal entity in India. Of course, this comes with some risk. You will need to ensure that your team understands the laws and regulations of India, as well as its states and localities.
