From
Employer of Record to
Company-as-a-Service
How US-based startup Design Pickle built its pod team in Portugal with the help of BRIDGE IN
HEADQUARTERS: Scottsdale, Arizona
FOUNDED: 2015
COMPANY SIZE: 500+ Global Team Members
INDUSTRY: IT & Creative Services
SERVICES: Design Pickle is a subscription creative services company powered by custom technology and a global subscription workforce across the globe. Design Pickle’s all-in-one creative services include graphic design, custom illustrations, presentation design, and motion graphics.
Design Pickle was exploring Portugal as a location for their European tech hub. To avoid employee misclassification, the US-based startup was looking for a compliant solution where they could pay and run payroll locally for their newly hired team. This means that new contracts had to be issued in Portugal, in full compliance with local regulations. Also, as is often the case when operating across multiple countries, local cultural and customary differences had to be observed.
