The Challenge
Outgrowing the EoR model across borders
Impel’s rapid international growth — accelerated by acquisitions of Pulsar AI, CarLabs.ai, and Outsell — outpaced its Employer of Record (EoR) setup in Australia and Canada. Moving employees from EoR to newly formed legal entities raised compliance risks and threatened to disrupt benefits, while each jurisdiction had its own rules on service continuity and employee transitions. An outdated HRIS only added to the complexity. Impel needed an expert partner to handle it all transparently — without losing employee goodwill.

The impact
