About Contractor of Record

Contractor of Record is an independent resource that helps companies choose how to hire and pay people globally. We review and compare Employer of Record (EOR), Contractor of Record (COR), contractor management, contractor payout and global payroll platforms.

Our goal is to make a high-stakes, confusing decision clearer — with structured facts, transparent sources and an honest editorial take. Read exactly how we research and score platforms in our editorial methodology.

Who we are

Contractor of Record was founded by Aleksandra Popova — an ex-KPMG audit senior consultant with eight years in IFRS financial reporting. She defines the comparison methodology and reviews every page before it ships. You can also find her on LinkedIn.

A small research team supports data collection: monitoring vendor pricing and feature changes, gathering user sentiment from third-party review platforms, and maintaining country guides. Every page they touch is reviewed by Aleksandra before publication.

How we make money

We don't currently run advertising or affiliate links. If that changes, we'll disclose it clearly, and it will never change how we score a platform.
