Why Mauve is exhibiting as a trusted partner

Empowering global higher education since 1996

For more than three decades, Mauve Group has supported colleges and universities in building global workforces – removing the administrative, legal, and compliance barriers that can slow international collaboration, research, and growth.

This year, we’re proud to continue our decade-plus partnership with NACUBO and look forward to connecting with institutions navigating global expansion – from international research partnerships and transnational education (TNE) programmes to remote and distributed workforces.

Whether you're a university employing researchers outside the U.S., a private school supporting staff relocating abroad for personal reasons, or an EdTech company managing international teams without setting up a local entity, Mauve’s global employment solutions provide the expertise and infrastructure needed to operate compliantly, efficiently, and confidently.

Client success story

How a global education organisation hired talent in India without entity setup

When The PIE needed to hire a reporter in India to support its global coverage of international education, the organisation needed a way to recruit specialist talent quickly and compliantly, without establishing a local entity.

Mauve Group supported the engagement through its Employer of Record (EOR) solution, managing local employment and compliance requirements.

The result: faster project delivery, reduced risk and costs, and seamless support for international operations.
