Creo Medical hired globally with Employer of Record

A UK company looks beyond borders

In 2023, Creo Medical, a UK-based MedTech company focussing on the development and commercialisation of minimally invasive electrosurgical devices, wanted to expand into The Netherlands. However, Creo Medical did not have an existing entity or payroll presence in The Netherlands. As establishing in-country entities and payroll systems can be time consuming and costly, Creo Medical needed to find a more efficient route to entering this new market.

With time, they expanded into medical device development and rebranded as Creo Medical in 2010. Creo Medical employs 281 people, across 14 global offices in nine countries, and boasts 318 patents.

Problems faced

This global MedTech company needed to hire professionals in the Netherlands, however lacked an in-country presence or payroll system. They faced the challenge of negotiating hiring professionals in a region where they had no expertise. This posed a number of issues for Creo Medical’s leaders.
