When a company hires someone in another country, it’s easy to assume that the hard part is finding the right person. In reality, there’s much more to navigate – especially when local employment laws and compliance regulations vary dramatically from one country to the next.
Native Teams, founded in 2020, set out to make this process easier for everyone. The platform, which now operates in 95 countries and serves more than 3,000 customers, handles the legal and financial complexity of cross-border employment, pay-roll, and work operations, so both parties can avoid the costly consequences of getting it wrong.
At this year’s IFGS conference at London’s Guildhall, Tech Funding News sat down with Skerdi Sino, Native Teams’ chief marketing officer, to understand what the future of global hiring looks like — and why the trust infrastructure behind it matters more than some people realise.
One of the most common mistakes companies make, Sino explains, is bringing someone on as a contractor when, legally speaking, they’re functioning as a full-time employee.
In many countries, regulators treat this as a misclassification, and the consequences can be as severe as millions in unpaid taxes and fines that affect both parties.
