Introduction
BLUESPARK specialises in providing innovative solutions to enhance oil and energy production. Their primary technology, BLUESPARK Wireline Applied Stimulation Pulsing (WASP®), uses high-voltage electrical pulses to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of well interventions. This method addresses common challenges such as wellbore blockages, scale buildup, and formation damage.
Challenge
BLUESPARK faced significant barriers when expanding into Malaysia and Norway, particularly in hiring.
Establishing a legal entity in another country involves numerous legal, financial, and regulatory considerations. To employ their staff compliantly, they needed to adhere to varying labour laws and tax regulations.
BLUESPARK contacted Leap29 for guidance on comprehensive Employer of Record (EOR) solutions in Malaysia and later Norway. Leap29’s expertise in sectors such as construction, engineering, life sciences, manufacturing, oil and gas, renewable energy, and technology provided the necessary support for managing international hires efficiently.
Results
We successfully provided seamless solutions, including work permits and onboarding for new hires in Malaysia and Norway. By offering comprehensive support throughout the process, we ensured smooth employee transitions and integration into the company, while ensuring compliance with local employment laws, payroll, taxes, benefits, and visa regulations.
Leap29 handled a variety of HR and administrative tasks, such as drafting employment contracts, managing payroll, and ensuring compliance with local laws, taxes, and visa requirements. This service allowed BLUESPARK to focus on its core operations without the need to establish a legal entity in these countries.
If you still didn't add terms of 'category', you can add new terms and assign.
Testimonial
Blue Spark is a global energy services company with corporate headquarters in Canada and subsidiaries in the US and UK. Given the nature of our business, many of our team members are based around the world. As we are still as small company, we are not able to employ individuals in all countries. This is where Leap29 has been an incredible partner for us in bringing on new employees around the world.
Today they have helped us bring on individuals based in Norway and Malaysia. One of the key factors for us in selecting an EOR is the seamless integration of our new hires. We want all of our employees to feel fully connected and a part of Blue Spark Energy. Our partners at Leap29 have made sure that our new employees don’t feel disconnected in any way. They ensure they have access to all the pertinent platforms and have an ease of communication when needed.
Our collaboration over the past year has significantly streamlined our international hiring process. I highly recommend Leap29 EOR Services to any company looking to simplify their international employment processes. Their comprehensive services, coupled with their professional and supportive team, have been a game-changer for us.They have truly become an extension of our HR department, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the partnership.”
