The agreement, signed on October 2, 2026, merges TalentHero's employment and recruitment services with DeeMoney's cross-border payment infrastructure. The partnership aims to simplify the process of hiring and managing employees in the country for foreign companies, while also providing financial services to Thai workers who support families abroad or conduct business internationally.\n\nEmployer of Record (EOR) is a model that has gained popularity in Southeast Asia, as it allows companies to hire local employees through a third-party employer, which handles employment administration, payroll, and HR compliance.
