Trusted by 600+ teams getting their headspace back

Your contractors are in 12 countries. Your spreadsheet is in 3 pieces

You manage real people — with visas, mortgages, families. They’re counting on payday. You’re caught between the bank, the provider, and the tax code. Kleos handles everything between “offer accepted” and “money landed”

These aren’t edge cases. They’re every HR Director’s reality when the team goes global

The Friday afternoon panic. The offer is accepted. The candidate’s in a country where you have no entity, no local lawyer, and zero idea what their compliance requirements are. The hiring manager wants a signed contract by Monday. You’re Googling “contractor agreement template Serbia” at 11pm.

“Where is my salary?” Payday came and went. Three Slack messages, two DMs, one email from the founder asking what happened. The provider blames the bank. The bank blames SWIFT. You’re caught in the middle, apologizing to people who just want to pay their rent.

The audit you can’t survive. Tax authority asks how you handle worker classification. CFO asks how much you actually spent on contractor ops last quarter. Investor asks for the IP chain. You’re piecing together answers from three providers, two spreadsheets, and one shared inbox.

The visa your best engineer needs by Friday. Your senior dev is applying for residence in Portugal. Their bank needs proof of income with a named contract. Your current provider issues a generic invoice. The candidate’s lawyer says it won’t fly. You’re about to lose them — to a competitor who already has an entity in Lisbon.

You’re not a corporate lawyer. You shouldn’t have to be one

HR Directors didn’t sign up to interpret tax codes in 12 jurisdictions, debug SWIFT errors, or become amateur compliance officers. Your job is people — hiring them, supporting them, helping them grow. Everything between “offer accepted” and “money landed” is infrastructure. It should work like infrastructure: invisible until you need it, reliable when you do.

That’s what Kleos is built for.

That's what

does.

From “we have a problem” to “wait, that was it?”

Step 1

You talk to us (30 min)

A real conversation about your team’s situation: locations, passports, corridors, edge cases. We point out the risks, explain how it works, and answer your questions. No forms, no “submit a ticket.”

Step 2

We set up the legal rails

Your company signs one B2B agreement with Kleos. We handle individual contracts with each team member — compliance, documentation, and local requirements included. Your legal team doesn’t need to be involved in every hire.

Step 3

Your team onboards themselves

Each contractor gets a personal dashboard to submit their details, KYC, and banking info. You don’t touch any of it. They get the documentation they need — for visas, residence permits, mortgage applications.

Step 4

One approval, everyone paid

Upload your registry. Approve with one button. Your team gets paid. Invoices and compliance docs generate automatically. You’re done by 11am.

“It used to take a week to process payments for our international team — coordinating with the bank, reconciling accounts, fielding messages. Now I initiate payments with two clicks, and 40+ contractors across 15 countries get paid the same day.”

Sarah C.

HR Director

“Our contractors are in Argentina, Georgia, Serbia. Each had their own banks, their own preferences, their own paperwork. It used to be a nightmare of spreadsheets. Now we add a person, they choose how they want to be paid, and the whole team settles in one transaction.”

Charles R.

HR Manager

“I used to be the person delivering bad news on payday. Now payday is the day I focus on actual HR work — performance, hiring plans, anything other than triaging payment failures.”

The questions HR directors always ask

Fair questions, honest answers

How do I make the case to my CFO / founder?

It's one vendor, one invoice and a predictable cost per cycle instead of scattered transfers and FX surprises. Finance gets a clean audit trail, and you stop spending days reconciling. Most teams frame it as removing risk and admin, not adding another tool.

Can we start with just 1–2 contractors to test?

Yes. Add one or two people, run a cycle, and see how it works before rolling out to the whole team.

How long does onboarding a contractor in a new country actually take?

Usually minutes, not weeks. The contractor chooses how they want to be paid, signs a compliant contract, and they're ready for the next payout — no entity setup on your side.

What happens when a payment corridor gets disrupted?

Kleos routes around it. If a corridor or provider drops a region, payments switch to a working route so your team still gets paid on schedule — including markets other providers quietly exit.
