What is a Remote Contractor?

Remote contractors work across a variety of skills and roles, from customer service, sales, and marketing to IT or pretty much any profession that can be done remotely. Many choose to live abroad, whether for family reasons, a lifestyle change, or just a different climate.

At Nordsabroad, we help you find C1-C2 level or native speakers of Swedish, Norwegian, German, Dutch, or Danish who are living abroad and are able to invoice through their own company or via an Employer of Record (EOR) solution.

Battle Rising Costs and Uncertainty with Remote Contractors

We live in dynamic times, marked by sudden shifts. In recent years, we’ve experienced unexpected events like wars, pandemics, and rising inflation. Today, businesses—especially startups—need to stay versatile, able to scale up or down quickly in response to market changes.

Remote contractors can be your hidden weapon to stay ahead!

One consistent trend, though, is the rising cost of employment, while employees often see reduced net income. This can lead to frustration directed at employers, even when up to 50% of earnings go towards taxes and employment costs. Recently, some countries have recognized the potential of attracting remote workers by offering favorable tax deductions or lower taxes for small businesses. This benefits remote workers, who retain more of their earnings, and the local economy, which gains foreign capital.

Recruiting remote contractors offers a flexible solution, allowing companies to save costs and gain flexibility compared to local hires. Often, you can pay the same or even less, while remote contractors retain a higher net income than they would if employed locally. The result is a motivated, happy team member enjoying a better climate or location of their choice—all while your employment costs are significantly reduced.

Why is Hiring Remote Contractors Often More Affordable?

Many factors influence salary. If your business is located in cities like London, Berlin, Stockholm, or Copenhagen, a large portion of employees’ salaries often goes to expenses related to those locations. While having employees work from an office has its benefits, here are some things to consider about remote work:

Remote workers often have:

• Lower rent
• No need for an additional car
• Lower living costs in general
• Get more sunshine and a boost in mood and alertness
• Less time spent commuting

All these factors mean that remote workers often need less to afford a good lifestyle compared to hiring local talent in a major city.

The Issue: Finding the Right Talent Abroad with the Necessary Skills and Ability to Invoice

If you post a remote job ad, you might get a lot of interest, but finding candidates willing to work abroad and invoice can be challenging.

This is where Nordsabroad comes in. We thrive on sourcing challenges and have already established contacts with flexible talent located abroad who could add real value to your company.

How Does It Work?

We help you find and match with the right talent, with the right skillset and conditions from the start, saving you valuable time. Our fees are fair and low since we also work abroad—a saving we pass directly to our clients.

We also partner with EORquotes to match you with the right EOR solution when you want to employ talent without setting up an entity in their country.

Hiring a remote contractor is simple. As usual, you make an agreement and discuss terms with your candidate. They can then invoice you the agreed amount each month, or you can use an EOR solution to employ them locally (to read more about EOR providers, click here).
