Gotchas - check before you buy

high

'No cost until hire' — but placement fees never published; get numbers before committing to a pipeline

medium

Vendor-hosted review pages mix with third-party ones; weigh G2 and Trustpilot higher

medium

Guess: switching EOR providers mid-employment means re-papering employees; expect lock-in friction

medium

No public security page — request data-handling terms before sharing candidate PII
