| Challenge | Hiring in Colombia without a local entity |
| Result | Compliant employment setup for a Colombian HealthTech team |
The company needed local employment without local setup
The Danish HealthTech company needed to employ medical professionals in Colombia, but it did not have a local legal entity. Without the right structure, hiring locally would create complexity around contracts, payroll, statutory benefits, and compliance.
Opening a Colombian company would have taken time and added administrative responsibility. At the same time, a freelance setup was not the right fit for a long-term HealthTech team.
The client needed a compliant employment structure that allowed them to build a Colombian team while staying focused on their core operations.

Hiring in Colombia without a local entity?
Globedesk helps international companies manage local contracts, payroll, compliance, and HR administration in Colombia.
Why This Model Was the Right Fit
EOR gave the client a compliant local structure
An Employer of Record model was the right fit because the client needed to employ people in Colombia without building its own legal, HR, and payroll infrastructure.
Through the EOR setup, Globedesk became the local employment partner. The client could manage the team’s daily work and professional responsibilities, while Globedesk handled contracts, payroll, statutory contributions, and compliance.
This allowed the company to hire in Colombia in a structured way, without delaying the process through local entity setup.
How the Setup Worked
Globedesk handled the employment administration
Globedesk created a compliant employment setup for the Colombian team. The medical professionals could be employed locally, while the client remained focused on operations, quality, and team management.
The process included
Local employment contracts
Monthly payroll management
Statutory benefits and contributions
HR administration
Compliance with Colombian labour requirements
Ongoing employment support
Clear division between employment administration and daily team management
This helped the client avoid unnecessary legal and payroll complexity while building a long-term team in Colombia.
