What G-P/Globalization Partners does

G-P (Globalization Partners) is a Boston-headquartered global employment platform founded in 2012 that enables companies to hire, pay, and manage international employees and contractors without establishing local legal entities. Its core product, G-P EOR, acts as the legal Employer of Record in 180+ countries, handling local payroll, labor-law compliance, benefits, and contracts — supported by a claimed 99% payroll accuracy and an API-first architecture with native integrations into Workday, ADP, HiBob, UKG, and Wise for cross-border payments.

The product surface has expanded from a single EOR service into a three-product platform: G-P EOR (enterprise, quote-based), G-P Contractor (self-serve contractor management in 190+ countries at $39/month per contractor), and G-P Gia (a 2025-launched, patent-pending agentic AI compliance agent built on a proprietary RAG model trained on over 100,000 legally vetted articles and 1,500+ government sources). Gia generates compliant HR documents, contracts, and offer letters, and automates contractor classification checks, with SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, GDPR, and CCPA certifications underpinning the platform.

G-P generates revenue primarily through subscription-based EOR contracts (custom-quoted annual enterprise agreements, with per-employee-per-month economics), supplemented by self-serve monthly subscriptions for G-P Contractor and emerging subscription pricing for G-P Gia. Distribution runs through three motions — enterprise field sales, self-serve product-led growth, and a channel partner resale program launched in December 2024. The company serves enterprise, mid-market, and startup segments across more than eight verticals (technology, energy, robotics, fintech, hospitality, entertainment, travel, professional services) with named customers including Boston Dynamics, Repsol, TaskUs, Zoom, Figma, Hard Rock Cafe, Hertz Europe, Las Vegas Sands, and Kraft Group.
