Employer of Record
Hire Employees in Germany Without Establishing a German Entity
Hire Employees in Germany Without Setting Up a German Company.
Gibbesch Consulting's Employer of Record (EoR) service enables international companies to hire employees in Germany quickly, legally, and compliantly. We become the legal employer, taking care of payroll, employment contracts, taxes, social security contributions, and compliance with German labor law, while you retain full control over your employee's day-to-day work and performance.
This allows you to focus on growing your business while we handle the legal framework behind the employment.
Many EoR providers began with payroll and later added immigration and relocation services. We are the opposite.
Long before offering EoR services, we were helping professionals, entrepreneurs, and their families relocate to Germany. Our expertise has always been immigration, visas, residence permits, and helping people successfully build a new life here.
As more international companies asked us for a compliant way to employ talent before establishing a German entity, EoR became a natural extension of our business.
We've always focused on people first, we understand that successful international hiring doesn't end with an employment contract. It begins with helping employees legally move to Germany, relocate smoothly, and integrate successfully.
We Start with People, Not Payroll
A Partner with German Expertise
Who Is Our EoR Service For? Whether you're exploring the German market or hiring your first employee in Germany, our Employer of Record solution provides a fast and compliant way to employ talent.
Market Entry
Want to test the German market before opening a local subsidiary?
An EoR allows you to hire employees legally in Germany while you evaluate business opportunities. When you're ready to establish your own German company, your employees can easily transition.
Local Hiring
Found the perfect candidate who already lives in Germany?
Instead of engaging them as a freelancer, you can employ them through our EoR service and offer a fully compliant employment contract with payroll, social security, and statutory employment benefits.
Founder Relocation
Many entrepreneurs relocate to Germany while continuing to operate their company abroad.
Our EoR service offers a practical employment solution while you settle into Germany and decide whether establishing a German company is the right long-term option.
International Talent
If your future employee requires a German work visa or residence permit, employment is only part of the process.
Because immigration and relocation are at the core of our business, we support both employers and employees – from the job offer to arriving and settling in Germany.

Employment contracts compliant with German labor law
Monthly payroll processing
Income tax and social security administration

Support with work permits and visas (where applicable)
