What is Foxhire?
Foxhire is a U.S.-based Employer of Record platform designed specifically for staffing agencies and businesses that need to place contract workers across the United States. They handle payroll, taxes, benefits, workers' compensation, and compliance for W-2 contract workers with custom pricing based on your needs.
Foxhire offers fast contractor onboarding, time tracking, invoicing tools, and full EOR compliance across all 50 U.S. states. They're designed for staffing agencies and businesses that need to quickly place contract workers without handling employment admin.
The Foxhire Problem
Foxhire is excellent for staffing agencies placing W-2 contract workers in the U.S. However, if you're a small business or startup working with properly classified independent contractors (not W-2 workers) globally, Foxhire's U.S.-focused platform and custom pricing can be limiting.
You don't need EOR services if your contractors are legitimately independent (working for multiple clients, setting their own schedules, using their own tools). You just need a way to organize contracts, track invoices, manage payments globally, and stay organized for tax time.
