Case Study: GitLab achieves seamless global EOR consolidation and rapid onboarding with Global Expansion

Global Expansion Delivers a Flawless EOR Transition for GitLab

GitLab, a leading all‑remote AI-driven DevSecOps platform with 500+ employees across 65+ countries, needed to consolidate its Employer of Record (EOR) footprint from more than 30 providers to a single global partner to improve pricing, compliance, processes, and employee experience. After an RFP, GitLab selected Global Expansion as its exclusive EOR provider.

Global Expansion implemented its GX1 platform, co‑developed country‑by‑country roadmaps, and executed a phased onboarding that respected notice periods, PTO, and tax requirements while running town halls and targeted communications to address employee concerns. Global Expansion’s approach gave GitLab full visibility and streamlined HR workflows, consolidated 30+ EOR relationships into one, and enabled GitLab to initiate over 30 critical new hires within the first 30 days, improving compliance, pricing, and the overall employee experience.
