You already found the contractor. What you do not have is a country-correct agreement, a documented classification, assigned IP, and a payment rail that survives an audit. XCAILE becomes the Agent of Record and owns all four.
Contractor onboarding in 3 to 7 days across 100+ countries, with a clean route into EOR employment the moment the role becomes permanent.
We don't start with a service. We start with the business outcome, then determine the optimal workforce strategy.
Every engagement carries a country-specific classification assessment, not a boilerplate template reused globally.
Engage contractors in markets where you have no legal presence, without incorporation, banking, or local counsel.
IP assignment and confidentiality written to hold up in the contractor's jurisdiction, not just in yours.
Agreement, classification review, tax documentation, and payment setup handled in one pass.
Invoice approval, cross-border payment, FX, and reconciliation run for you, per contractor, per country.
When the role turns ongoing, we convert AOR to EOR in the same country without breaking continuity.
An Agent of Record contracts, classifies, and pays independent contractors on your behalf. XCAILE holds the contractor agreement, tests the classification against the country's own test, assigns IP to you, collects and approves invoices, pays in local currency, and keeps the audit trail. You keep the working relationship, we carry the paperwork and the compliance discipline behind it.
You hired two contractors abroad off a referral. AOR makes that defensible before it becomes a liability.
Consolidate a scattered contractor base across countries into one contract, one payment run, one standard.
Bring shadow contractor spend under a documented classification and payment standard your auditors accept.
Engage annotators, evaluators, researchers, and specialists across many countries at project pace.
We test the role against the country's own employment test and tell you plainly whether AOR or EOR is defensible.
Country-correct agreement, IP assignment, identity and tax verification, and payment rail set up in days.
Invoices approved, payment issued in local currency, records kept, and classification revisited as the role evolves.
Send the countries, the scope, and how the work is actually supervised. We come back with the defensible model per role, what AOR covers, and a realistic onboarding date.
Most providers sell you the product you asked for. We tell you when AOR is the wrong answer and EOR is the defensible one.
Contractor today, employee tomorrow, same country, same relationship, no vendor migration in between.
Deep operating depth across LatAm on top of 100+ country coverage, with time-zone-aligned talent when you also need sourcing.
Contracting, classification, payment, and, when you need it, the sourcing of the talent itself. One contract, one SLA.
An Agent of Record is the party that contracts, classifies, and pays independent contractors on your behalf. The AOR owns the contractor agreement, the classification test, IP assignment, invoicing, and cross-border payment, so the contractor relationship stays defensible without you opening an entity.
Contractor onboarding and identity verification, a country-correct contractor agreement, a documented classification assessment, IP and confidentiality assignment, invoice collection and approval, local-currency payment, tax-form handling, and an audit trail per contractor.
AOR engages the person as an independent contractor. EOR employs them. If the work is a defined scope, self-directed, and non-exclusive, AOR is right. If it is ongoing, supervised, or exclusive, EOR is the defensible model. XCAILE runs both and tests classification per role and per country before recommending either.
AOR is priced as a service fee per contractor rather than a percentage of statutory employer cost, which is why it is lighter than EOR. Pricing depends on country, volume, and payment rails, and we quote it per scope rather than publishing a rate card.
Contractor onboarding through AOR is the fastest compliant route we run. XCAILE deploys AI-ready talent and contractors in 3 to 7 days, including agreement, classification review, and payment setup.
XCAILE runs AOR and EOR across 100+ countries, with deep density across Latin America. Coverage, payment rails, and classification posture are confirmed per country for the role you describe.
AOR reduces exposure by documenting the classification, contracting correctly for the country, and keeping the payment trail clean. It does not make an employment relationship legal. Where the facts point to employment, we convert the role to EOR instead of papering over it.
Yes, and it is common once a role becomes permanent. XCAILE converts contractors into compliant employees in the same country without breaking payment continuity or the working relationship.
Yes. Contractors are contracted in their own country and paid in local currency where required, with invoice approval, tax documentation, and reconciliation handled as part of the AOR service.
Yes. That is the most common AOR use case. You have the person, we take over contracting, classification, IP, payment, and compliance. If you also need us to source the person, that is contract staffing, which includes recruiting on top of the AOR layer.
