Flexible, fully compliant employment solutions across Asia.
Expanding into Asia doesn’t always require a local entity. Many businesses need fast, compliant employee onboarding—whether to test markets, support clients, or run short-term projects—without the cost and complexity of full incorporation. Global Staffing Solutions (GSS) provide an efficient alternative. Dezan Shira & Associates’ GSS model allows companies to hire staff legally without setting up subsidiaries. We offer Professional Employer Organization (PEO) services, recruitment support for localized hiring, and global mobility assistance for visas, relocation, and permits. Across single or multiple markets, our regional teams ensure compliance, streamlined onboarding, payroll, and HR support—helping businesses scale quickly and responsibly across Asia.

Case Studies and Insights
FAQs - Global Staffing Solutions and PEO
Global Staffing Solutions allow companies to hire talent across Asia without setting up a legal entity. Unlike traditional hiring models that require local incorporation, GSS leverages a Professional Employer Organization (PEO) structure—enabling businesses to onboard staff quickly, remain compliant, and control costs while focusing on core operations. It’s ideal for market entry, project-based work, or regional expansion.
We support GSS across a broad Asia–Pacific footprint, including:
- China, India, Vietnam, Singapore, Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand
- South Korea, Japan, and Hong Kong SAR
- Additional coverage available through our partner network in Central Asia and select GCC countries
This wide network enables us to manage hiring, payroll, and compliance across both developed and emerging Asian economies.
Under the PEO model, we act as the legal employer of record while you manage day-to-day work responsibilities. Our firm handles employment contracts, payroll, benefits, and compliance. This structure allows companies to place talent on the ground without the burden of entity setup, while retaining full control over performance and job scope.
We provide targeted recruitment support based on your job description and market needs, including:
- Local job board postings and professional outreach

- Application support and documentation review
- Coordination with immigration authorities or legal advisors
