EOR or Dedicated Staffing in Pakistan? How to Choose
Both let a foreign company have people in Pakistan without a Pakistani entity. They solve different problems. Pick by one question: do you already have the person?

The one-line difference
Employer of Record: you found the person; we employ them for you. Dedicated staffing: you describe the role; we recruit, employ, equip, seat and supervise the person for you. Both end with a full-time employee working under your direction on your tools and hours.
Side by side
| Employer of Record | Dedicated staffing | |
|---|---|---|
| Who finds the person | You | TechKoders recruits and shortlists |
| Where they work | Their home or your chosen location | TechKoders Lahore facility (500+ workstations) or remote |
| Equipment and internet | Yours or ours at cost | Included |
| Supervision and HR | You manage; we handle HR compliance | We manage attendance, HR and replacement; you direct the work |
| Pricing | Actual salary cost + flat fee from $249/month | One flat monthly rate from $599 covering salary, HR, equipment and supervision |
| Replacement guarantee | Not applicable (your hire) | Yes, free replacement if a hire does not work out |
| Best for | Converting contractors, a specific person, pre-entity hiring | Building a team from scratch, back-office or support functions, scaling fast |
Mixing the two
Most clients who grow end up with both: a developer or accountant they already knew on EOR, and a support or back-office team recruited and seated through dedicated staffing. Both run on one invoice and the same service agreement. Moving a person from one model to the other is a paperwork change, not a new hire.
Which should you start with?
- You have a name and a salary in mind → Employer of Record.
- You have a job description and want candidates → Dedicated staffing.
- You have a team of contractors and want them all employed → EOR for the team, with an optional desk at our facility.
