Hiring an EOR Employee: Part 1 – Submitting Candidate Details

This article walks you through the first step of hiring a new employee via Lano’s Employer of Record (EOR) service — submitting candidate and job details to receive a precise employment cost estimate. This flow is ideal when you already have a specific candidate in mind and need an accurate cost calculation based on their details. The estimation process includes built-in compliance logic based on job location and work eligibility. If you’re still early in planning or want to explore costs across multiple countries, try the Hiring Cost Calculator for a quicker but less detailed estimate.

You can initiate the hiring flow from two places in the platform:

• Go to Onboarding or Team, then click Add team member

• Select Remote team member

• Click Continue

You’ll then be guided through five steps to submit the hiring request for estimation.

• Job title

• Experience level (required for the role)

• Job description (from your job offer)

• First and last name

• Email address (we won’t send any communication until onboarding begins)

• Country where the candidate will work

• State/Region (only if applicable)

• Work eligibility – Can the candidate legally work in the selected country?

• Contract type (indefinite or fixed-term): For fixed-term: specify end date

• Start date

• Employment type (full-time or part-time): For part-time: specify hours per day and days per month

• Annual leave entitlement

• Notice period (select from predefined options)

• Probation period (select from predefined options)

• Gross annual base salary (entered in the local currency of the hire’s country)

• Bonuses or commissions (optional, if selected: choose type, amount, and payment frequency)

• Allowances (optional, if selected: choose type, amount, and frequency)

• You’ll see a full overview of your entries.

• Double-check all data before submitting.

• If you change key selections like country or work eligibility, you’ll need to re-enter all previous information.

• Once confirmed, click Get Employment Costs. Lano will forward your request to our local EOR partner to calculate the exact hiring cost based on your inputs.
