Employer of Record (EOR) Services in Malaysia
Hire employees in Malaysia without setting up a local company. Talent Recruit provides employer of record services that cover everything from employment contracts and payroll to statutory compliance — so you can build your Malaysian team quickly, legally, and without the burden of local incorporation.
What Is an Employer of Record?
An employer of record in Malaysia is a third-party organisation that becomes the legal employer of your staff on your behalf. While you manage the employee's daily work and responsibilities, the EOR takes care of employment contracts, payroll processing, statutory contributions, and full compliance with Malaysian labour law.
This arrangement allows foreign companies, startups, and businesses without a Malaysian entity to hire local talent — fast and fully compliant. There's no need to register a Sdn Bhd, open a local bank account, or navigate the complexities of Malaysian employment regulations on your own.
