What is Swapp Agency?

Founded in 2017 and headquartered in Reykjavík, Iceland, Swapp Agency is an Employer of Record and HR services provider built to make global hiring easier. They act as the legal employer for your international workforce, taking on contracts, payroll, tax contributions, and local compliance across 160+ countries. You keep full control over the day-to-day work.

What stands out is how much sits under one roof. Recruitment runs with sourcing and screening, then rolls straight into compliant employment with no handoff. Payroll works on its own or as part of the full EOR package. Background checks follow local legal rules, and visa and work permit support helps relocate talent across borders.

For companies preparing to set up their own entity later, Swapp guides the move from EOR to local incorporation. Practical add-ons go beyond standard employment: car leasing, company cards, local insurance, and office or co-working space access. Pay-outs run in EUR, GBP, and USD.
