Meet Orbit, Playroll’s AI Assistant for Global Hiring Decisions

What is Playroll's Orbit GPT?

Orbit is an HR AI assistant built specifically to support international hiring and employment decisions with confidence.

Instead of scraping the internet, Orbit is powered by the verified, up-to-date knowledge of Playroll’s in-house HR, payroll, and legal experts, operating across global markets every day. This means Orbit is designed for real-world employment scenarios, instead of hypotheticals.

Who is Orbit built for?

Orbit acts as a personal AI assistant for teams making high-stakes global hiring decisions. This includes:

‍HR and People teams: Get country-specific guidance on contracts, benefits, leave, and termination rules so you can hire confidently across markets without having to consult fragmented sources or risking non-compliance.

‍Founders expanding into new markets: Quickly understand where and how you can hire, what setup is required, and the risks of different employment models.

‍Legal and ops teams managing compliance: Stay ahead of changing labor laws and classification rules with up-to-date guidance that helps identify risk early and keep global operations compliant.

How Orbit Is Different From General AI Tools

Most AI tools, for example ChatGPT for HR queries, are used for initial exploration of a topic. Orbit is built to go deeper than surface-level insights and make hiring decisions with impact. That means:

• Its answers are grounded in real employment frameworks tried and tested by Playroll’s in-house experts.
• It offers clear, AI-powered guidance on what’s legally required and what’s not in specific markets.
• It provides support for your practical hiring scenarios,

Whether you’re exploring a new market or validating an active hiring decision, Orbit helps you understand what’s required before risk becomes reality.

What You Can Use Orbit For

Teams use Orbit to answer practical, business-critical questions such as:

• Where you can hire and what the setup looks like in each country: Better understand whether you need a local entity, an Employer of Record, or a contractor arrangement, plus what each option means for timelines, cost, and compliance.
  

• Mandatory benefits, leave, and termination rules by location: Get clarity on statutory benefits, paid leave requirements, notice periods, and termination obligations before you make an offer or plan headcount.
  
  
• Employee vs contractor classification risk before it becomes a problem: Assess whether a role can safely be hired as a contractor or must be treated as employment under local law, before misclassification puts you at risk.
  

For Example:

Let’s say your team wants to hire a senior product designer based in Spain. You’re not sure whether to hire as an employee or a contractor, and you need to make a decision soon.

Using Orbit, you can ask:

• “Can I hire a full-time product designer in Spain without setting up a local entity?”
• “What are the mandatory benefits and notice periods for employees in Spain?”
• “What classification risks apply if this role is structured as a contractor?”
