About EOR Germany

No reseller in the chain.
Your team works for our German company.

International companies use us to employ staff in Germany with no company formation on their side. The employment runs through our own German entity, and every client gets one dedicated specialist rather than a portal or a chatbot.

Taking on someone abroad should not demand a new legal entity, a Steuerberater on retainer and weeks of forms. A phone call with people who already know the route should be enough.

Our story

Why we exist

The problem behind EOR Germany kept repeating itself: a company overseas wants one or two German hires, and both routes open to them cost too much. Forming a subsidiary is slow and expensive, while the big global platforms offer scale with little depth in any one country.

So we built the third route: a German employer of record proper, running on our own GmbH with an AüG licence, which lets an overseas company have staff employed here in days instead of months.

Agility EOR is the group we belong to. It has committed to a short list of European countries and to doing each one properly: the UK and Channel Islands, Ireland, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Malta and the Czech Republic. Covering few countries, deliberately, is what makes genuine expertise in each possible.

What owning the entity changes for you

The difference you feel from day one

Most EOR providers
How we do it
You sign with a reseller, and the actual employer turns out to be a company you never meet.
The employment contract names our German GmbH, and we have it signed within hours.
Questions disappear into a shared queue, and simple answers can take days to surface.
A named specialist in Germany owns your account and typically comes back the same day.
Setup fees are common, and pricing often only works once you commit several hires.
One fixed monthly fee per person on a single invoice, and a single hire is plenty.

Our way of working

What you get with us, reliably

We keep the team small and the scope narrow, and we would rather do a few things properly than run a vast platform.

The German entity is ours

Your people sign with our own GmbH, which holds an AüG licence. No third company sits between you and the employer, so when something needs fixing, the fix is ours to make.

A single named contact

One Germany specialist learns your account and keeps it. Onboarding, payroll questions and offboarding all go through that same person.

A person answers the phone

Ask something about German employment and someone who actually knows will reply, normally inside the same working day.

Speed never beats compliance

Once the details are with us we move quickly, though never by skipping documentation or compliance checks. Doing it properly is the reason clients hire us at all.

Shaped around your stage

First hire, scaling team or an orderly wind-down: the service bends to fit. There is no rigid platform to fight.

Fixed pricing, plainly stated

A single monthly fee for each employee. No setup charge, no surprise lines on the invoice, and one hire is enough to start.

Germany expertise up front, a European group at your back

The specialist you deal with works on German employment and nothing else. Standing behind them is Agility EOR, a group focused on seven European countries it aims to know deeply: the UK and Channel Islands, Ireland, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Malta and the Czech Republic.

When another country joins your plans, the same group employs there too. No fresh vendor and no second contract.

The team

The team on the other end of the phone

Deliberately small. Whoever picks up will already know your account.

Our Germany employment guides are written by Scott Winter, Chief HR Officer at Agility EOR. Scott leads HR across the group’s specialist European countries, Germany among them, and each guide on this site is reviewed against the current German rates and rules before it goes out.
