Case Study: HeartFlow achieves a compliant cross-border hire of a Canadian radiologist with Globalization Partners

How Globalization Partners Solved a First-Time Hiring Hurdle

HeartFlow, a Redwood City medical technology startup focused on improving diagnosis and treatment of coronary artery disease, needed to hire a must-have radiologist who lived and practiced medicine in Canada but could not relocate. Lacking a Canadian entity, HeartFlow turned to Globalization Partners and its Global Employer of Record platform to explore a compliant way to employ the candidate without disrupting his Canadian practice.

Globalization Partners’ legal and EOR teams quickly designed a compliant arrangement, required a two-month salary reserve to ensure payroll continuity, and handled country-specific payroll, taxes, benefits, and compliance. As a result, HeartFlow successfully hired the radiologist, now has a couple of employees on Globalization Partners’ platform in different countries, met its hiring timeframe, and gained the international talent needed to drive business growth.
