The challenge: scaling globally without adding complexity
As Canidium expanded across EMEA, APAC, and the Americas, their HR team hit a familiar roadblock: how to hire international employees and contractors without setting up legal entities in every country.
The team needed a solution that could:
- Onboard global hires quickly and consistently
- Ensure compliance with local employment and contractor laws
- Provide trusted HR and legal guidance as the business scaled
The solution: simplified compliance with EOR, Contractor, and Gia
Canidium used G-P EOR and G-P Contractor to build and manage its global workforce through a single platform, reducing the complexity of international hiring while maintaining confidence in compliance.
“We had worked with a couple of different EOR providers before moving to G-P, and G-P feels like a true partner," explained Annie Diiorio, HR Manager at Canidium. "Their proactive approach and our customer success manager’s dedication have been game-changing, making all the difference in our experience. Onboarding new hires is easy for both our admin team and our global team members.”
Using G-P, Canidium now supports team members across Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Costa Rica, India, Ireland, and the UK, managing both employees and contractors without the burden of setting up and maintaining local entities. With G-P as a strategic compliance partner, Canidium has peace of mind that both EOR professionals and contractors are classified correctly, reducing legal risks and penalties.
To further support compliance and day-to-day HR decision-making, Canidium also uses G-P Gia, G-P’s AI-powered global HR agent. The team relies on Gia for fast, accurate guidance on country-specific regulations, including statutory holidays, leave policies, and employment requirements.
Gia consistently saves a significant amount of time, even helping create complex policies like parental leave in minutes instead of hours. I appreciate that Gia includes its sources so I can easily verify accuracy. Gia is the database I use whether I need a quick answer or assistance with something more complicated.”

The impact: faster onboarding, trusted compliance, and confident global growth
With G-P, Canidium gained:
- Streamlined onboarding for both EOR professionals and contractors
- Confidence in compliant worker classification across regions
- Faster access to reliable HR and legal guidance
- Freedom to expand globally without adding administrative overhead
By blending EOR, Contractor, and Gia, Canidium established a unified, compliant approach to global workforce management — allowing the HR team to focus on strategic priorities while ensuring employees and contractors worldwide are supported and empowered.
Having one platform for EOR and Contractor simplifies the administration process for our HR and accounting teams — and Gia makes things even easier."
