Facilitating Earth Rated's European Expansion

    Earth Rated, a Canadian-based B Corporation, is a renowned manufacturer of responsibly made, high-quality products for dogs, with the most recent addition to their portfolio, being toys.  The company was founded in 2009 with a focus on manufacturing dog wipes and bags. Today, the products are used in more than 40+ countries.

    After a successful European market entry, the supplier resorted to hiring a full-time sales manager in the Netherlands with the support of EuroDev's EOR services. 

    Identifying the needs and challenges

    After successfully initiating its’ European journey through EuroDev’s Sales Outsourcing service, Earth Rated wanted to hire its first full-time employee in October 2020. As Earth Rated did not have the required European HR expertise, it needed a partner who would be able to help with facilitating the HR infrastructure and advice. 

    How we assisted Earth Rated

    EuroDev helped Earth Rated by acting as the Employer of Record, incorporating an entity on behalf of the client. EuroDev wholly owned this entity. As Earth Rated wanted to have a customized and personalized European experience for the employee, we named the entity Earth Rated HR BV.

    Furthermore, we took away all the HR responsibilities from Earth Rated, and took care of all the activities, from onboarding to offboarding.
