THE COMPANY

Meet Milford Blake

Milford Blake is a specialist boutique Executive Search and Headhunting consultancy which focuses exclusively on the Financial Services and Real Estate sectors. Recognized as experts in talent acquisition within these sectors, Milford Blake continues to deliver extraordinary results for their clients.
THE PROBLEM

Red Tape When Expanding to New Markets

Milford Blake offered bespoke executive search support, yet often hit roadblocks in hiring executive talent in countries where their clients didn’t have entities and didn’t have access to competitive benefits.  This meant they had a limited number of markets they could source talent from due to compliance and entity restrictions.

They started searching for an Employer of Record (EOR) partner who could take over hiring and compliance with local employment laws on their behalf. As a leading HR executive search firm, Milford Blake evaluated and utilized other EORs before Playroll, but did not report a good experience.

Many of our clients have sought to hire candidates in new markets or in geographies where they may not have operations or licenses in. Before Playroll, this was an impossible task, or at best, an extremely complex, resource-intensive exercise with a lot of risks for all involved - not to mention the service standards often weren’t historically met by third-party providers.

THE SOLUTION

Finding The Right EOR Partner For Global Expansion

While Milford Blake was focused on expanding their global footprint of client services, they needed an EOR partner that could:
Enable scalability aligned to workforce growth needs.
Provide dedicated support for them, as well as their clients.
Offer global multi-currency payroll, compliant with local tax and labor laws.
Make it easy to comprehend the unique employment rules and regulations in other nations.

They turned to Playroll, who ticked all their boxes and went the extra mile when it came to service delivery.

Thanks to Playroll, our clients get to hire local talent in any country where they want to expand long before they set up the entity there. In terms of service, Playroll’s customer success team is extremely responsive and very knowledgeable. Our candidates-turned-employees have found the platform to be as user-friendly and efficient as our clients have reported.

THE RESULTS

A One-Stop Shop To Tap Into Global Talent

By partnering with Playroll, they were able to offer their clients one easy solution to employ people in any country legally and compliantly through Employer of Record (EOR) services at a fraction of the retail cost.

Besides giving their clients an easier way to expand, Milford Blake could also get new recruits up and running much faster than the traditional route of establishing a presence in new countries. Playroll not only manages multi-currency payroll, but also provides competitive benefit offerings for priority hires in new markets through an intuitive platform.

Thousands of companies across hundreds of countries trust Playroll with their people. You can too.
