"Functional PEO"

2.5/5

What do you like best about Safeguard Global?

Safeguard Global acts as a global employer of record for our organization in countries we do not have a physical location. After an initial set up period, Safeguard offers consistent payroll processing for our international employees. In countries where Safeguard doesn't have central offices, they work with a local partner, allowing for broader global reach. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Safeguard Global?

Safeguard Global, as with many PEOs, can be expensive and service fee structures vary from country to country. If you end up working with a local office in more obscure countries of registration, there can be a significant delays in response time. There also appears to be a high level of turnover in account managers, so you may be assigned a new point of contact every few months. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Safeguard Global supports us globally!"

4/5

What do you like best about Safeguard Global?

That we have global support in any country we require, to ensure we remain compliant. Partnering with Safeguard means we have no restrictions on where in the world we hire people. Having Lindsey Forrest as our account manager has been really helpful in supporting with any issues etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Safeguard Global?

My contacts for each country regularly change but I don't always get notified or any advance warning of this. The GEO ticketing system massively impacts on my Outlook account. The bigger the email thread becomes, the slower my Outlook becomes - making even opening or replying to a Safeguard email really difficult. This can be incredibly frustrating. Not sure if this is an IT issue or not. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We are so happy to support your hiring needs globally, and more importantly, hire your team compliantly. We understand how dealing with support via multiple email threads can be frustrating. Have you tried managing your GEO tickets through our Safeguard Global Support Center? It's our web-based query management tool that allows us to manage your quieres through our secure system without the need of bulky email chains.

We'd love to walk you through how it works. We'll connect with Lindsey to get something scheduled.

Provide limited benefits to staff, I need more understanding of local law of the countries I am not familiar with and sometimes I can't find the needed advice.
