What sets Gloroots apart from JustWorks

Gloroots was built to help companies find, hire, and manage global talent. JustWorks was built primarily as a PEO for US small businesses, with EOR added as an extension — not as a core capability.

By combining recruiting, hiring, and EOR into a single global-first platform, Gloroots eliminates the bundling requirements, pricing complexity, and coverage gaps that come with JustWorks' US-centric model.

FAQs

Does JustWorks charge $599 for EOR like other providers?

Yes. JustWorks EOR starts at $599/month per employee and requires an active PEO plan in addition. Gloroots starts at $299/month with no prerequisite plan required.

Do I need a JustWorks PEO plan to access their EOR?

Yes. JustWorks EOR is available only to existing PEO Basic or Plus subscribers, which significantly increases your total cost. Gloroots offers EOR as a standalone service with no bundling required.

Is JustWorks built for global hiring, like Gloroots?

JustWorks started as a US PEO; EOR was added later. It owns entities in just 11 countries and relies on third-party partners for 90+ others. Gloroots is purpose-built for global hiring across 140+ countries with local experts in each market.

Does JustWorks offer recruiting and hiring support?

No. JustWorks handles EOR onboarding but provides no recruiting or talent-sourcing support. Gloroots covers the full hiring cycle, from sourcing to EOR onboarding, in one connected workflow.

How does JustWorks handle compliance in countries where it doesn't own entities?

In 90+ countries, JustWorks relies on third-party partners for compliance. Service consistency varies by partner. Gloroots operates with local experts across its 140+ country footprint.

Can I reach compliance or payroll specialists at JustWorks?

Not directly. JustWorks account managers are service and sales professionals, not subject matter experts. Complex payroll and tax issues are often routed without direct specialist access. Gloroots connects you directly with country-specific HR, legal, and payroll experts.
