Four employer-of-record companies have merged their operations and brand identities into a single global platform called Rivermate, creating a network that covers more than 180 countries and supports more than 3,500 workers worldwide.
London and Dubai-based Rivermate, along with Eos Global Expansion, Serviap Global, and Hightekers, announced Monday that all employer-of-record (EOR) operations will now operate under the Rivermate name. The combined entity runs through 38 wholly owned legal entities and a network of more than 150 local partners.
“We are not just renaming companies,” said Roger Oudiz, chairman of the group. “We are building a global infrastructure for the future of work. Bringing Eos, Serviap, and our Hightekers EOR operations under the Rivermate brand is the right move at the right time — it gives our clients a single, trusted partner wherever they hire, and gives our teams the platform they deserve to compete globally.”
The group says the consolidation draws on more than 15 years of operational experience, anchored by Eos Global Expansion’s and Serviap Global’s founding in 2010. The combined platform spans Latin America, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.
What changes — and what doesn’t
Existing client contracts and service delivery are not affected, the company says. Clients will continue working with their existing contacts, and will gain access to the expanded capabilities of the unified platform.
The Serviap and Eos brands will be retired. Their operations, teams, and client relationships will continue under the Rivermate name.
Hightekers will remain a separate brand within the group. It will continue serving independent professionals through a freelancer management solution and retain its own identity, teams, and commercial focus.
Two-brand structure
The consolidation establishes a two-brand model. Rivermate will serve as the group’s single brand for EOR, contractor-of-record (COR), and contractor payment solutions. Hightekers will focus on the independent professional market.
The group says the strategy is aimed at building what it describes as a comprehensive global work intermediary — a platform serving both companies managing international expansion and professionals working independently.
Oudiz said the regional expertise that defined each organization remains central to the new structure. “The regional expertise that made each of these businesses great is not going anywhere,” he said. “It is now part of something bigger.”
