The first AI-native Employer of Record meets one of the largest global tech talent marketplaces to streamline how companies find, hire, and pay international workers, fast.
Toronto, ON – [May 8th, 2025] – Borderless AI, the world’s first AI-powered global HR platform, today announced a strategic partnership with VanHack, a leading marketplace for vetted international tech talent. This partnership connects two critical components of building global teams: sourcing world-class candidates and employing them compliantly at scale.
As more companies look beyond borders for talent, the challenge isn’t just finding great people, it’s managing everything that comes next: payroll, taxes, compliance, contracts, benefits, and onboarding. Borderless AI and VanHack together solve both sides of this equation. Now, companies can tap into VanHack’s network of over 400,000 pre-vetted candidates and activate Borderless AI’s real-time AI automation to compliantly hire and pay them in 170+ countries.
The Global Hiring Conundrum
Today’s global hiring landscape is stuck between two broken models:
- The old-school way of setting up costly legal entities and building HR teams in every country
- The workaround of using legacy EOR services that rely heavily on manual processes, opaque fees, and piecemeal tech.
While demand for global talent is booming, especially in engineering, product, and data roles, HR teams are overwhelmed. Compliance risk is high, timelines are long, and the experience is often frustrating for both companies and candidates. Businesses face a paradox: remote work is borderless, but hiring isn’t.
That’s the problem this partnership solves.
Two Halves of a Global Hiring Flywheel
With VanHack, companies can instantly access top-tier tech talent from Latin America, Eastern Europe, Asia, and beyond, pre-vetted, interview-ready, and eager to work remotely. With Borderless AI, those same companies can onboard that talent in days, not months, with 100% compliant employment agreements, automated payroll, real-time payments, and AI agents that handle everything from onboarding to vacation tracking.
“This is about compressing the entire global hiring lifecycle into a matter of days,” said Willson Cross, CEO and Co-Founder of Borderless AI. “VanHack brings the talent. Borderless AI brings the infrastructure. Together, we’re creating a seamless, scalable path to hire anyone, anywhere, with zero friction.”
Why This Partnership Matters Now
The timing couldn’t be more critical. Businesses are under pressure to move fast, save money, and access skills they can’t find locally. At the same time, compliance regulations are tightening, and legacy EOR providers are struggling to keep up with demand or deliver a great experience.
Borderless AI changes the game by using AI agents like HRGPT to automate everything that slows down global employment, from contract generation to tax compliance. VanHack removes the talent bottleneck by surfacing the right candidates faster than internal recruiting teams or agencies can.
Together, the companies are:
- Reducing time-to-hire from months to days
- Eliminating the need for legal entities in new markets
- Cutting employment costs with real-time, no pre-funded payroll
- Delivering an unmatched candidate and employer experience
- Enabling scale-ups and enterprises to expand globally with confidence
“We’ve always believed that great talent is everywhere. But accessing it has been too hard for too long,” said Ilya Brotzky, CEO of VanHack. “Our partnership with Borderless AI finally solves that. It means companies can focus on building products and growing teams, not navigating red tape.”
A New Standard for Global Teams
This partnership sets a new bar for what hiring globally should look like. It’s fast, compliant, and radically simple. And most importantly, it’s built for scale, whether you’re hiring your first remote developer or expanding a team across 10 new markets.
With Borderless AI and VanHack, building a global team is no longer a logistical headache. It’s a competitive advantage.
