Pebl

Pebl (Velocity Global's new name since September 2025) is an Employer of Record (EOR) platform that lets you hire, pay, and manage employees across 185+ countries without creating a legal entity there. The editor highlights an AI-first redesign of the customer journey, with an assistant named Alfie available in over 50 languages, instant salary-cost simulations, and self-service onboarding. The site mentions a fixed monthly-fee-per-employee model rather than a percentage of payroll, but no amounts are published; the FAQ consistently directs to a custom quote request, noting that existing Velocity Global customer contracts and pricing remain unchanged after the rebrand.

The site offers a French version (hellopebl.com/fr) alongside German, Spanish, and Portuguese, which eases adoption for a French-speaking HR team. A Pebl API is documented for technical integrations, and the tool connects notably to Greenhouse, ADP Workforce Now, and JazzHR on the HR side. The editor does not document a GDPR policy or European data residency on pages reviewed. Unlike classic HR software, pricing depends on the number of employees hired abroad rather than total company size: a 20-person SME hiring one or two employees overseas may be in scope, but the per-employee EOR cost remains, across all players in the sector, a significant monthly budget line for a single position.
