With a team spread across several countries, IRIS Software Group has established a significant global presence. Recently, this business-critical software development leader identified a need to continue its expansion efforts to tap into a broader, global talent pool.
However, IRIS did not yet have an established presence in the new region where it planned to expand one of its teams. Setting up a new entity typically takes several months, which conflicted with IRIS’s urgent need to hire nearly 60 team members as quickly as possible.
A collaborative partnership propels global expansion
As existing partners since 2021, IRIS has successfully leveraged G-P’s adept global employment and EOR solutions to strengthen its client service offerings. By combining IRIS’ technological prowess with G-P’s global employment solutions and expertise, both companies are transforming the future of global talent management. This partnership ensures IRIS’ and G-P’s clients can rapidly expand into new international markets legally and compliantly, without needing to engage lawyers, accountants, and payroll providers across different countries.
When the need arose for IRIS to expand into a new market, it turned to G-P for Employer of Record (EOR) services and technology, confident in G-P’s ability to deliver seamless client experiences. As its EOR, G-P manages employment aspects of IRIS’ growing team in the new region, handling payroll, local labor law compliance, and complex HR tasks. This enabled IRIS to quickly enter the new market without needing to establish its own entity.
Leveraging the powerful technology and expert guidance behind G-P EOR Prime™, G-P’s premium EOR solution, IRIS was able to begin recruiting and hiring talent in the new market in less than two weeks after kicking off discussions with G-P.
“G-P understood the urgency and importance of moving quickly for our business. We made our first hire just 10 days after our initial discussion with the G-P team. Our first team member contract was out within 24 hours, and we didn't slow down. We hired 55 people in 50 days with the support of G-P.

Advancing market entry and operational readiness
IRIS’ partnership with G-P has proven instrumental in facilitating rapid market entry and agile talent acquisition strategies. With talent onboarded and a market presence established, IRIS efficiently allocated resources to create a local entity in the new region. Partnering with G-P as its EOR provided IRIS the flexibility to ensure new hires made an immediate impact on the business.
“The beauty of our relationship with G-P is that it allowed us to quickly hire and establish ourselves in a new region, ensuring our new team members made an immediate commercial impact while we got our ducks in a row. The support from the G-P team has been outstanding from day one, from generating insightful reports to resolving queries within hours.

IRIS now employs G-P Contractor™ to efficiently manage and ensure accurate payments for select international workers. This shift highlights the scalability enabled by the IRIS-G-P partnership and the ongoing support provided by G-P.
Continued growth with unmatched support
As IRIS continues to explore new regions and expand its global footprint, the foundation it has laid with G-P ensures continued global operational excellence.
“Our path may lead to launching new regions or expanding existing ones in the future,” Lyons said. “While we may not need to move as rapidly as we did with this project, we know we have a partner who can support us if we do”
“With G-P by our side, we find comfort in moving forward confidently, knowing their steadfast support and innovative solutions are always there for us.
