Client Testimonials
Alcor is a reliable partner that meets our hiring needs. We finally hired experienced software engineers in Eastern Europe with strong tech skills and business acumen. Account Managers are awesome!
With Alcor’s all-in-one solution, we got a software R&D office with 15 senior PHP devs and a compliant operational coverage. I really appreciated their transparent pricing structure and deep expertise.
We interviewed a lot of EoR platforms and companies, but Alcor was the only one that provides a combo package of EoR and Recruting offerings. Alcor helped us build a full stack team in 1.5 month.
We wanted to switch from our outsourcing provider, and Alcor has become really game-changing for us. Within a mere 6 months, we got a fully-fledged team of 30 engineers in our own R&D office.
Alcor’s R&D solution eclipses full-cycle recruitment, EOR service, and operational support for our offshore team. Their ‘all-in-one place’ approach is far more cost-effective than I could’ve imagined.
I value their commitment to going the extra mile. We evolved from an outstaff project into an independent company, and Alcor’s support was crucial. They hired and ondoarded 15+ professionals for us.
Thanks to Alcor, we hired four engineers and a designer that strengthened our team. Beside stellar recruitment, Alcor flawlessly handled our payroll. Their approach was seamless and swift.
Alcor closed our 4 QA positions in a month and more than doubled the team in a year! We chose Alcor because of their communication style, cost, scope of services, and ideas to help us be successful.
Expanding our engineering team outside the US with Alcor was a game-changer! They found 15 talented developers and provided seamless EOR & operational support. Great responsiveness to our needs!
Alcor’s flexible model helped us scale from 0 to 30 devs in a year first, and then to 50! No buy-out fees, seamless hiring, and top-tier talent. A hassle-free way to grow without setting up a subsidiary!
Alcor helped us hire the top 5% of tech talent while building our employer brand. They were proactive, never compromised on quality, and delivered. Three years later, our hires are still thriving!

FAQ
How does Alcor EOR differ from Pebl (ex-Velocity Global)?
Alcor and Pebl are both Employer of Record providers, but they operate on fundamentally different models. Pebl is a generalist global HR platform serving six industries: technology, manufacturing, retail, finance, AI, and professional services. Alcor is built exclusively for tech product companies, with every contract, benefit package, and hiring process configured for engineering teams.
Pebl covers payroll, compliance, benefits, and immigration support. Recruitment is handled through third-party partners. Alcor combines EOR, in-house tech recruitment, and full operational support and sets up a global engineering infrastructure for clients, with zero other vendors required.
On pricing, Pebl’s per-employee fee is fixed regardless of team size and offers no published volume discounts. Alcor’s fee lowers as your engineering team grows. There are no setup fees, no security deposits, and no exit costs, including free tech team insourcing.
Customer support also differs. Pebl leads with Alfie, its AI assistant, as the primary support layer. Alcor assigns a dedicated Customer Operations Manager to every account – no ticket systems, no AI-generated responses.
Which companies should choose Alcor EOR over Pebl (ex-Velocity Global)?
Alcor is the right fit for tech product companies building or scaling engineering teams in Latin America or Eastern Europe. Specifically:
- VC-backed startups at Series A–C that need 10–30 senior engineers fast – including AI/ML, DevOps, and full-stack roles – without setting up a legal entity abroad.
- Companies protecting IP that require NDAs, B2B, and FTE employment options, and IP rights agreements configured for tech product teams from day one.
- Tech product businesses hiring in proven tech talent pools – Ukraine, Poland, Romania, Mexico, Colombia – where Alcor has its own legal entities, local legal teams, and overall on-the-ground support.
- Companies scaling post-acquisition or pre-IPO that need stock-option management and clean legal documentation for the entire engineering team.
When is Pebl (ex-Velocity Global) a better alternative to Alcor EOR?
Pebl is a stronger fit when:
- You need to hire across 185+ countries, spanning multiple industries and employment types simultaneously.
- Your company operates outside tech: in manufacturing, retail, finance, or professional services.
- You need a self-serve, platform-led approach with AI-assisted compliance, instant cost estimates, and 250+ HRIS integrations.
- Your target markets are outside Eastern Europe and Latin America – Alcor operates exclusively in those regions.
Can Alcor support hiring, EOR, and operational services in one model?
Yes. Alcor offers an all-in-one solution that is built specifically for tech product companies that need all three.
- Tech-focused EOR: Compliant employment in EE and LATAM: payroll, IP protection, legal shield, B2B & FTE options, NDAs, benefits, and onboarding/offboarding. Engineers start delivering in 10 business days. Tax incentives for tech are included. Alcor bears 100% of employment risks.
- Full-cycle recruitment: 40 in-house tech researchers and recruiters across help you find hires in LATAM and Eastern Europe. First CVs in 5 business days. Senior engineering roles closed in 2–6 weeks. 8 CVs to 1 accepted offer. 98.6% probation pass rate. Culture-fit interviews on every hire.
