Why Hire in the UK?

As an international finance and commercial hub, with a highly-skilled and educated workforce, the UK is a popular destination for companies looking to build an international team.

You could do this on your own: Set up a company, register as an employer and start recruiting and hiring employees yourself in the UK. However, this option is usually expensive, time-consuming, and runs the risk that you will break UK employment and tax laws.

When you use an Employer of Record (EOR) like Horizons, you can have your new team hired and onboard in as little as a day. We take care of all aspects of employment compliance, including payroll, taxation, employee benefits and national insurance.

When you choose Horizons, we take the hassle out of UK hiring and leave you to focus on your core business.
