GoGlobal x Fleet: Secure, compliant and fast global hiring with device leasing

Expanding into new markets brings legal complexity, logistical friction and security risk. Pairing GoGlobal’s Employer of Record (EOR) services with Fleet’s device lifecycle management — leasing, zero‑touch provisioning, MDM and reverse logistics — lets companies hire quickly, provision day‑one devices worldwide, enforce security baselines and optimize costs.

Global hiring without friction

The problem

Hiring across multiple jurisdictions exposes companies to varied payroll, tax and employment rules. Setting up a local entity can take months while time‑sensitive roles must be filled now. For competitive profiles (engineering, data, support), speed and candidate experience are decisive.

How to move faster?

• Use an EOR like GoGlobal to legally onboard talent in-country within days.
• Standardize global comp frameworks and adapt them to local market parity.
• Run asynchronous hiring processes and shared evaluation scorecards to speed decisions.

Fleet’s value

• Equip hires from day one: Fleet ships preconfigured, tracked devices to employees in their country, removing hardware as a blocker to productivity.
• Leasing converts upfront capital into predictable operating expense and simplifies global scale‑up.
• Centralized inventory and lifecycle reporting deliver finance and hiring teams visibility into cost-per-hire and device allocation.

👉 Hiring speed and candidate experience improve when device provisioning is aligned with contract signing — Fleet ensures hires receive the right hardware before day one.

Distributed onboarding: get people productive on day one

The problem

Typical delays arise from shipping, customs, accessory shortages, manual OS imaging and slow account provisioning. Without secure access and apps ready, new hires waste critical days.

Best practices

• Orchestrate hiring, provisioning and access in one flow so devices and accounts are ready at start.
• Use global onboarding templates with localized modules for benefits and legal.
• Enforce MDM and SSO so devices meet security baselines before they access sensitive systems.

Fleet’s contribution

• Zero‑touch provisioning: devices enroll into MDM and receive security policies and core apps on first boot.
• International shipping and delivery confirmation reduce logistics uncertainty.
• Central portal to confirm device readiness, track shipments and escalate replacements.

Metric to track

• Time-to-productivity: the interval from contract signature to first meaningful contribution. Fleet’s provisioning can shrink that interval by days or weeks versus traditional procurement.

Deliver a consistent employee experience everywhere

The problem

Inconsistent equipment, accessories or support across offices and countries creates perceived inequity and damages employer brand.

Solutions

• Define persona‑based device catalogs so each role receives an appropriate standard setup.
• Offer localized benefits and allowances while maintaining global parity for core tools.
• Provide proactive IT support with clear SLAs and self‑service for routine tasks.

Fleet’s role

• Catalogs and leasing allow uniform standards without large capital commitments.
• Centralized support and replacement workflows reduce downtime and frustration.
• Standardized accessories, warranties and onboarding materials reinforce a consistent experience.

Business impact

A consistent employee experience improves retention, productivity and employer reputation in competitive hiring markets.

Security, compliance and governance at scale

The problem

Global expansion multiplies compliance regimes and endpoints, increasing risk for data breaches, unencrypted devices or inconsistent logging.

What to implement

• Security-by-design: enforce MFA, full‑disk encryption and automatic OS patching.
• Make MDM required for access to sensitive systems and implement conditional access.
• Monitor device posture centrally: patch status, encryption, last check‑in and incidents.

Fleet’s enforcement

• Compliant-by-default MDM profiles and baseline security policies.
• Lifecycle visibility from procurement to disposal; remote wipe and access revocation at offboarding.
• Dashboards for security posture, incidents and regulatory compliance.

👉 Treat device health as a gating condition for application access — only devices compliant with Fleet’s MDM should gain access to critical systems.

Offboarding at scale: recover value and reduce risk

The problem

Offboarding in multiple countries is a logistics and compliance headache: recovering equipment, executing secure erasure, respecting local rules and redeploying assets.

Operational steps

• Standardized offboarding playbooks that involve HR, IT and Legal.
• Global reverse logistics (return labels, local drop‑off, partner couriers).
• Remote wipe and certified secure erasure before refurbishment or disposal.

Fleet’s solution

• Global coordination of returns and certified data erasure.
• Refurbishment and leaseback programs to recover asset value and reduce fleet costs.
• Rapid reassignment workflows to shorten time-to-redeployment.

KPI

Offboarding recovery rate and time to redeploy reflect how well assets are reused and costs controlled.

International launch checklist (practical)

Legal & HR

Choose EOR vs entity per country, localize comp and benefits, document playbooks.

IT & Security

Define persona catalog, require MDM+SSO, implement zero‑touch and secure return processes.

Operations

Identify logistics partners, set IT SLAs and build cost & compliance dashboards.

Suggested KPIs

Time to productivity, provisioning lead time, cost per device per year, offboarding recovery rate.

Questions 🤯

What is an Employer of Record (EOR)?

An EOR employs staff legally in a country on your behalf — handling payroll, taxes, benefits and local compliance — so you can hire quickly without a local entity.

What does zero‑touch provisioning mean?

Devices straight out of the box automatically enroll into MDM, receive a standard OS image, security policies and core apps on first boot.

Why lease devices rather than buy them?

Leasing reduces upfront CAPEX, converts costs to OPEX, simplifies global scaling and allows more frequent refresh cycles.

Conclusion

Scaling internationally requires aligned HR, ops and IT playbooks. GoGlobal handles compliant hiring while Fleet takes ownership of device lifecycle — leasing, zero‑touch provisioning, MDM enforcement and reverse logistics. Together, they reduce time‑to‑productivity, lower risk and optimize device costs.
