The challenge: navigating international employment law in unfamiliar markets
As Cogstate's global footprint expanded, the Australian-based company needed to hire talent in new countries — fast. But expanding into international markets meant navigating complex local employment regulations, establishing legal presence, managing payroll and taxes, administering benefits, and maintaining compliance across jurisdictions where the team lacked direct expertise. The stakes were high: missteps could jeopardize both operations and the ability to attract top candidates.
Cogstate turned to a local HR consulting firm for guidance, which recommended G-P — a recognized leader in the global employment industry — as an employer of record (EOR) partner.
The solution: a trusted EOR partner to manage global employment complexity
By partnering with G-P EOR, Cogstate gained the compliance infrastructure and expert support needed to hire and retain international team members with confidence. G-P handles legal presence establishment, payroll, taxes, benefits administration, and ongoing regulatory compliance — ensuring that local terms and conditions are met in every market where Cogstate operates.
Beyond compliance, G-P helps Cogstate create a cohesive employee experience across borders, ensuring global team members feel integrated into company culture from day one.
知道当地的条款和条件得到了严格遵守，这对我们非常有帮助。在你不熟悉的国家，劳动法可能难以驾驶。在 G-P 的支持下，我们满怀信心地确保合规性。即使在新的地理区域，这也有助于我们为该职位找到最佳候选人。

The impact: global talent access and a unified team culture
With G-P managing the complexity of international employment, Cogstate's leadership team can focus on what matters most: finding and retaining the best people, wherever they are in the world.
The partnership has also smoothed the path for existing team members who choose to relocate, reducing friction and supporting continuity.
"No matter the country they reside in, our team members receive comprehensive support," Teunissen said. "We love that our international team members feel fully integrated into our daily operations and are embraced as part of our 'family,' regardless of employment details being managed by G-P."
Key outcomes include:
- Reduced compliance risk and uncertainty in international markets
- Expanded talent pipeline beyond geographic boundaries
- Seamless support for employee relocations
- Stronger sense of belonging and cultural integration for global team members
无论地理边界如何，Cogstate都将继续与该职位的最佳候选人接触。我们与G-P的合作有助于我们吸引新的人才。G-P 还允许我们在现有团队成员选择调动时为他们的无缝过渡提供支持，从而确保我们组织的满意度、持续的专业发展和持续增长。
