Case Study: Cogstate achieves compliant international hiring with Globalization Partners

Cogstate Navigates International Employment Regulations with Confidence

Cogstate, an Australian biotechnology company that develops digital cognitive assessments, needed to hire talent in a new country while ensuring local compliance with employment law, payroll, taxes, benefits, and other HR requirements. To avoid establishing a local entity and to manage regulatory complexity, Cogstate engaged Globalization Partners on the recommendation of a local HR consulting firm and leveraged G‑P Meridian Prime™ as its Employer of Record solution.

Globalization Partners provided EOR services—including legal‑presence establishment, payroll, benefits administration, and comprehensive compliance management—reducing key uncertainties and risks associated with international hiring. As a result, Cogstate gained the confidence to recruit and relocate the best candidates across borders, improved integration and belonging for international team members, and supported ongoing talent attraction and growth without the burden of local entity setup.
