About this Episode

In this HR in Review episode, we look at the risks of non-compliance for companies hiring globally. We also consider some of the biggest market factors to overcome in order to ensure the UK holds its reputation as a technology leader.

 

Guest: Rick Hammell

Joining Bill Banham on the show today is Rick Hammell, founder and CEO of Atlas. Rick founded Atlas in 2015, from his dining room table after noticing gaps in the existing marketplace for solutions that enabled companies to expand into new markets simply, quickly, and compliantly. Through his commitment to simplifying expansion, Rick pioneered the Direct Employer of Record business model aimed at supporting companies with global aspirations.
