Employ Borderless announces its annual assessment of the top Employer of Record services, identifying seven industry leaders after evaluating 25+ global employment platforms. The 2025 rankings highlight category specialists who perform well in distinct markets and business requirements.
This report arrives as the global EOR market value is projected to grow from USD 5.23 billion in 2024 to USD 9.17 billion by 2033, according to Business Research Insights. Companies are increasingly selecting EOR providers based on specific regional expertise and business model alignment rather than generic solutions.
'The EOR market has changed significantly with providers now specializing in distinct niches rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions,' said Robbin Schuchmann, Co-founder of Employ Borderless. 'This year's analysis reveals clear category leaders who perform well in specific regions, company sizes, and operational requirements.'
Following months of platform analysis, pricing comparisons, and user experience testing, Employ Borderless identifies the category-leading Employer of Record services for 2025.
Paul Jansen, Co-founder of Employ Borderless, noted the industry's movement toward specialization. 'The most successful EOR providers in 2025 have stopped trying to be everything to everyone. Instead, they've focused on specific strengths, whether that's regional compliance expertise, particular company sizes, or unique service offerings.'
Research highlights from the 2025 evaluation include the following findings.
Rippling secured the EU operations category by establishing its European headquarters in Dublin and developing a platform that integrates HR, IT, and finance functions. Companies report improved operational efficiency when using a single system rather than managing separate platforms.
Remote earned recognition in IP protection through SOC 2 certification and its Remote IP Guard technology. Organizations handling sensitive information prefer Remote's direct entity ownership model over third-party partnerships.
Multiplier captured the Asia-Pacific category with focused expertise in Singapore, Australia, and Japan markets. The platform's same-day onboarding capability has attracted companies requiring rapid international expansion.
Remofirst claimed the startup category by simplifying international hiring processes. Small businesses favor the platform's five-day setup timeline and absence of hidden fees during onboarding.
Deel achieved worldwide coverage leadership through local entities in 120 countries. Companies frequently cite the contractor-to-employee conversion feature as a key differentiator for workforce flexibility.
JustWorks captured the US operations category with its integrated approach combining EOR and domestic PEO services. Small businesses favor the platform's ability to manage both international and domestic employees from a single system, with many citing the streamlined onboarding process as a key advantage.
Oyster won the transparency category through clear pricing structures and user interface design. Companies value the predictable fee model and recent addition of global payroll capabilities for existing international operations.
'These providers represent the new reality of EOR services,' concluded Robbin Schuchmann. 'Success now depends on deep specialization rather than broad mediocrity. Companies that match their specific needs with the right category leader will see significantly better outcomes than those selecting based on name recognition alone.'
The shift toward specialized EOR providers reflects broader changes in how companies approach international expansion. Rather than one-size-fits-all solutions, businesses increasingly value providers who understand their particular challenges, whether regulatory, operational, or financial.

Xiaomi won't sell its EVs outside China before 2027: CEO
STORY: Xiaomi won't consider selling its EVs outside China before 2027. That was according to Chief Executive Lei Jun in a livestream Wednesday (July 2). He says the company has to focus on domestic orders for its two models. Until recently better known as a smartphone maker, the Chinese firm has launched its first two electric cars over little more than a year. And it's struggling to keep up with demand. The YU7 SUV launched last week saw about 240,000 orders in its first 18 hours on sale. Now Xiaomi is telling buyers they will have to wait over a year to get their car. Meanwhile, the firm's SU7 sedan has outsold the competing Tesla Model 3 every month since December, raising pressure on Elon Musk's firm in the key Chinese market. Many commentators asked Lei about the long wait times for customers during the livestream. However, he offered few clues, saying only that Xiaomi would strive to ramp up capacity. A Reuters review of one consumer complaints site showed hundreds of customers have demanded refunds, saying they were not told of the long wait times when placing orders. Xiaomi plans new factories on two plots of land near its Beijing plant to help meet demand.

As a Nation's Economy Slows, Some Say It's No Time for a Free Lunch
Nina Megayanti used to think she had it all. For years, she had a comfortable life in Jakarta, Indonesia's capital, eating out with friends, taking weekend trips abroad and making house payments. But in 2023, she was laid off from her marketing job as the economy slowed. She was out of work for more than a year, lost her housing deposit and went through almost all of her savings. Millions of other Indonesians are similarly desperate. The International Monetary Fund has warned that the country's unemployment rate will rise this year to become the second-highest in Asia, exceeded only by China's. But the government says the economy is doing fine, pointing to its annual growth rate of about 5 percent. Since taking office in October, President Prabowo Subianto has been focused on fulfilling campaign pledges, including a nationwide free school lunch program and affordable housing. He has also set up a new sovereign wealth fund. To bankroll these projects, he has redirected the equivalent of billions of dollars in government funds, slashed budgets and demanded austerity from the ministries of public works, health and education, among others. He has also fired thousands of government contractors. But Indonesia's economy is heavily dependent on state spending, and critics say Mr. Prabowo's priorities are misplaced. 'The government is in denial about the economy,' said Awalil Rizky, an economist at the Bright Institute, an independent think tank in Jakarta. 'The employment figures are evidence that the conditions are indeed not good.' The I.M.F. has projected that Indonesia's unemployment rate will rise to 5 percent this year, from 4.9 percent in 2024. And on Tuesday, the government lowered its estimate for economic growth in 2025 to about 5 percent, from 5.2 percent. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Fujitsu to develop ETF trading platform based on TSE's CONNEQTOR and provide it to Australian Securities Exchange
TOKYO, July 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Australian Securities Exchange (ASX), the Tokyo Stock Exchange, Inc. (TSE), and Fujitsu Limited on June 2, 2025 signed MOU to develop a SaaS-based Request for Quote (RFQ) platform. Fujitsu will develop the platform based on 'CONNEQTOR,' an RFQ platform for the ETF market developed by TSE and Fujitsu, and provide it to ASX. The initiative aims to modernize the process for ETF pricing in Australia by implementing a SaaS RFQ platform, built and managed by Fujitsu. The foundation of this new platform is the CONNEQTOR system provided by TSE, one of Asia's most successful RFQ platforms. Since its launch in February 2021, CONNEQTOR has enabled over 290 users to significantly reduce costs and improve the efficiency of their ETF trading operations. Monthly trading value reached a record high of JPY 306.4 billion in April 2025. Fujitsu will serve as the service provider for the Fujitsu RFQ platform, responsible for service development, provision, and utilization support. TSE, as the licensor and operator of the CONNEQTOR system, will provide support for the platform's implementation. Andrew Walton, General Manager, Trading, ASX comments: 'ASX is excited to partner with Fujitsu and TSE to explore the opportunities the Fujitsu RFQ platform can deliver for the Australian market. With the ability to increase liquidity and price discovery, ASX sees the potential to support the development of this market segment and its participants. We will be engaging extensively with the Australian industry to gather feedback to assess the feasibility of launching this platform in the first half of 2026.' Satoshi Takura, Senior Executive Officer, TSE (Senior Executive Officer & CIO, Japan Exchange Group) comments: 'It is great to join forces on the feasibility of a service based on TSE's CONNEQTOR. By providing international and diverse market functions, we hope to contribute to the development of the global ETF market from a technological perspective.' Masaru Yagi, Corporate Executive Officer, EVP, Fujitsu comments: 'Fujitsu is excited to explore this opportunity to provide the Fujitsu RFQ platform for the Australian Securities Exchange. Leveraging our deep experience in building and maintaining financial infrastructure with cutting-edge technology, we're confident that our strong partnership with the Tokyo Stock Exchange will unlock even greater value for the ASX and its global customers.'
