Alcor is a tech R&D accelerator that helps US and European product tech companies launch and scale their own software R&D centers in Latin America and Eastern Europe. We don’t do generic outsourcing or spread thin across industries – we have been 100% tech-focused since 2017. With us, you can scale your engineering team from 10 to 100 developers within a year, while keeping full control over your team, culture, and IP. Our comprehensive services include: • Tech-focused Employer of Record (EOR): 100% compliant contracts, transparent payroll, benefits management, PTO administration, legal shield for your engineers, as well as smooth onboarding & offboarding, and a Dedicated Customer Ops Manager for day-to-day support. • Recruitment of top 10% talent: Silicon Valley-caliber software developers vetted and hired in Mexico, Colombia, Chile, Argentina, Poland, Romania, Ukraine, and Bulgaria, with up to 40% cost savings compared to outsourcing. On average, we need only 8 CVs to make 1 accepted offer, with 15% of roles closed from the very first CV. • 360° operational support: Hardware procurement, HR services, employer branding, office lease, IT support, travel/visa arrangements, plus stock option and IP agreement structuring – everything you need to run your R&D center seamlessly.
