Parakar becomes the first licensed Employer of Record in Belgium
Setting a new standard for international employment in Europe.
Parakar has officially become the first and only licensed Employer of Record (EOR) in Belgium, with Temporary Work Agency Agreements now granted for both the Flanders and Brussels regions.
This milestone marks more than regulatory approval. It reflects Parakar’s long-term commitment to helping shape how international employment is organised across Europe, not just executing it.
contributed to key discussions around EOR market requirements, including securing exemptions within agency work legislation. This resulted in Belgium’s first EOR licence, a meaningful step forward for the market.
International hiring is becoming increasingly complex. Regulations differ per country, frameworks are still evolving, and companies may struggle to find reliable or clear guidance. Rather than simply adapting to existing rules, Parakar actively engages with regulators and industries to help build sustainable solutions for the future of cross-border employment.
Belgium is our point of proof. Not because of market size, but because it represents our belief in moving the market forward. It shows what’s possible when you combine deep local expertise with a willingness to help shape how international employment is organised.
While open-ended contracts are not yet available (a collective agreement is currently being drafted by the ministry), this licence already enables Parakar to support companies compliantly in Belgium under the current framework, with permanent employment expected to follow once regulations are finalised.
For Parakar, this achievement showcases its role as a thought leader in international employment. Going beyond compliance means helping create the regulatory foundation that allows businesses and talent to grow across borders, safely, transparently, and future-proof.
