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 an all-in-one tech R&D center for clients, with zero other vendors required.
On pricing, Pebl’s per-employee fee is fixed regardless of team size. Alcor’s fee decreases as your engineering team grows, with no setup fees.
Customer support also differs. Pebl leads with Alfie, its AI assistant, as the primary support layer, and also offers support from its local experts. Alcor assigns a dedicated Customer Operations Manager to every account – no ticket systems, no AI-generated responses.
Which companies should choose Alcor EOR/COR over Pebl (ex-Velocity Global)?
Alcor is the right fit for tech product companies scaling engineering teams in EE or LATAM. Specifically:
- Scale-ups get recruitment and EOR/COR model in one place – no need to juggle 3+ vendors to build their first offshore engineering team.
- Mature tech product companies get the operational depth – payroll, HR, office setup, employer branding – needed to run a stable, long-term R&D center abroad.
- Unicorns and high-growth companies get a proven model to scale from 10 to 30+ developers in 3 months, with dedicated support and volume pricing that a self-service platform can’t match.
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 within a single 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 safeguards, EOR & COR engagement options, NDAs, benefits, and onboarding/offboarding. Engineers start delivering in 10 business days. Alcor bears the associated employment/engagement risks.
- Full-cycle recruitment: 40 in-house tech researchers and recruiters help you find hires in LATAM and Eastern Europe. First CVs are generally ready within 5 business days. Senior engineering roles are filled in 2–6 weeks, with just 8 CVs needed to secure 1 accepted offer. Moreover, Alcor conducts culture-fit interviews on every hire.
- 360° operational support: Hardware procurement, sysadmin support, office/coworking lease, employer branding, stock options, benefits management, visas – everything in one place. AlcorOS gives full visibility over your team, payroll, and related costs. A dedicated Customer Operations Manager owns every request from the first message to the final fix.
