Case Study: Snyk achieves 4x headcount growth and compliant global hiring with Globalization Partners

Snyk Maintains an International Outlook While Navigating Rapid Growth

Snyk, a developer-focused security company founded in 2015 with hubs in Boston, London, and Tel Aviv, faced a sudden surge in demand during the pandemic and needed to hire international talent fast while navigating different employment laws. To scale quickly and compliantly—growing headcount from about 170 at the end of 2019 to close to 700 by January 2021—Snyk engaged Globalization Partners and used their full‑stack global employment/Employer of Record platform.

Globalization Partners delivered a simple, consistent platform with in‑country support, strong data‑privacy controls, and fast turnaround that streamlined onboarding and improved the employee experience. As a result, Snyk was able to expand into multiple markets rapidly and maintain compliance while scaling nearly fourfold in under a year using Globalization Partners’ solution.
