Multiplier is a global employment platform founded in 2020 in Singapore that enables companies to hire, onboard, and pay employees in over 150 countries without setting up local entities. The platform handles locally compliant employment contracts, multi-currency payroll in 120+ currencies, statutory tax filings, mandatory benefits administration, and leave management. It also supports contractor payments starting at $40/month per contractor and offers immigration and visa services in 140+ countries.
The platform is particularly strong in the Asia-Pacific region, with solid local support in Singapore, Australia, Japan, and India. Customer support via chat is generally responsive and well-regarded, and onboarding can be completed within 24 hours. There are no setup, onboarding, or offboarding fees, and no minimum employee requirements.
On the downside, Multiplier lacks a dedicated mobile app, does not offer a payroll-only solution for companies with their own entities, and has limited HRIS depth. There is no ATS, performance management, or advanced analytics. Email support can be notably slower than chat. Some users report platform glitches with invoice generation and contract uploads, and FX spreads of 0.5-1.5%% add hidden costs on top of the base EOR fee.
