ABOUT ATLAS
Enabling businesses to compete in a borderless world.
ABOUT ATLAS
Atlas was built on years of experience navigating the business challenges of quickly deploying and paying international employees, all while ensuring compliance with local regulations. As the first – and now largest – 100% direct Employer of Record (EOR), Atlas enables innovative companies to compete in a global economy because we believe that businesses should employ whomever they want, wherever the talent exists, making the world a lot smaller and easier to navigate for everyone.
With establishments in over 160 countries, we deliver the flexibility for companies to expand across borders, onboard talent, manage compliance, and pay their global workforce without the need for a local establishment or multiple third-party providers.
The Atlas enterprise-grade technology platform is uniquely designed to deliver end-to-end EOR and Human Experience Management (HXM) solutions through an empowered user experience. The platform supports thousands of companies and remote teams through localised experience and expertise, providing self-service capabilities and real-time insights that lead to improved business outcomes.
We are committed to expanding the outreach of entrepreneurship and employment alike. Our business model helps startups and SMEs compete on the international playing field, turning commercial innovations into viable global enterprises – and bringing opportunity to local economies and the people who work there.
Our mission, vision, and values guide all that we do and keep us laser-focused on improving the human experience of our customers, our employees, and our communities.
To guide companies on their growth journeys with software and solutions that enable global talent management.
We see a future where growth thrives across borders and cultures.

Rick Hammell founds Elements Global Services to revolutionize the way that international companies manage their talent. In doing so, he coins the term “Employer of Record” for the burgeoning industry and introduces the world’s first 100% direct Employer of Record model.
Elements Global Services rapidly expands its EOR and payroll services to 80 countries. It also officially launches its first international offices in the UK and India.
With an international workforce of 75 people, operations in 100 countries, and new offices opened in Barcelona, South Africa, and China, Elements Global Services launches ApprovPay — a cloud-based platform to efficiently and compliantly manage international HR and payrolls.
Elements Global Services completes raising capital of $20 million Series A with Guidepost Growth Equity to support its global expansion and technological investments. The company passes the figure of 100 international employees and its operations reach 135 countries, while moving its HQ to Chicago.
Providing the perfect solution to the global business challenge of COVID-19, Elements Global Services experiences rapid growth and expands to over 250 employees and more than 150 countries served globally.
After completing a $200 million Series B capital raise with Sixth Street Global, Elements Global Services rebrands to Atlas in conjunction with the launch of its Human Experience Management (HXM) platform — simplifying the operations of people globally with unified software and a unique ‘Glocal’ model.
Atlas is also named as a ‘Leader’ in Global Employer of Record Services by NelsonHall and Everest Group, as well as recognition from the Global Payroll Association in their EOR Organisation of the Year award.
Atlas continues to revolutionize the way the world works. With 500 global employees and establishments in more than 160 countries, Atlas helps its clients to build a reputation that attracts the world’s top talent.
This year will see a host of new enhancements to our HXM platform, including the launch of contractor pay, expense management, a mobile app, and a partnership with Coursera to improve employee experience. The company has also launched its impact ESG program and was named as a ‘Leader’ in IEC’s 2023 EOR industry report.
The mission of Atlas is supported by some of the world’s most innovative investors.
