Brazil workforce comparison
Staffing is designed around flexible workforce capacity, often including recruiting and an all in rate. Employer of Record is designed around employing a person the buyer has selected or intends to retain as an employee. Both can avoid an immediate entity, but they solve different commercial and workforce problems.
