What is an Employer of Record?
An Employer of Record (EOR) is a third-party organisation that legally employs workers on behalf of another company. Tech Talent becomes the legal employer of your Malaysian staff — handling all employment administration, statutory obligations, and regulatory compliance — while your team member works exclusively under your direction.
This is the fastest and most compliant path for foreign companies to build a team in Malaysia, or for any business that wants to hire without the cost and time of incorporating a new local entity.
Who Is This For?
EOR is the right solution if you are in any of these situations.
Hiring Remote Malaysian Talent
Global teams hiring Malaysian professionals who need a fully compliant in-country employment structure.
Testing the Malaysia Market
Businesses in early market validation who want to hire fast without committing to full entity setup costs and timelines.
