Global employment solutions for your international operations

Our mission is to provide global employment, entity and advisory solutions that genuinely put clients first. We help businesses large and small employ people around the world fast, easily and compliantly. And our global entity solutions help our clients expand and manage their international footprint.

Today, we support over 180 countries, covering 24 time zones through offices strategically located in the US, UK, Hong Kong, Japan, Mexico, Singapore and Nicaragua. The Financial Times recognized us in their inaugural list of The Americas’ Fastest Growing Companies 2021. We are also in the top 15% of fastest growing private companies in the Inc. 5000 for 2020 and 2021.

We believe we owe our success and excellent client retention to our personal, flexible and responsive way of doing business. The Blueback Manifesto sums this up.

The Blueback Manifesto

We’re the international people who believe in the power of the global – different people, different cultures, different thinking.

We work hard to understand the what, the how and the why of employing people around the world, making it easier and faster so that wherever you are and whatever your business, you can employ the talent you need.

Because people matter most. It’s not all about the tech.

But when you have good people and good tech, that’s when things start to sing.

We work with you as if we’re part of your team, we think long-term relationships are more important than short-term profit, so we do the right thing every time and if you don’t need some of our services, we tell you - straight.

We know that next week is useless when need comes knocking at your door today, that small things matter. Especially small things.

We believe in working in ways that fit your business and not our processes, in owning up when things go wrong and putting them right fast, in making it all look wonderfully smooth and easy and straightforward.

We are Blueback Global.
