Omnipresent vs. Safeguard Global

Omnipresent is a great solution for companies looking to grow globally but that don't have the resources or market understanding to open new legal entities in other countries. We found that they beat their competitors when it comes to customer service and employee experience.

The onboarding was not very straightforward and we had to go back and forth many times even though it was just one standard work contract. The payroll management overall was OK despite a few billing issues. Closing the contract did not go well, with conflicting emails from different departments who could not answer basic questions such as providing a statement of account and detail the closing dues minus the deposit (they forgot to tell us about some dues for the 13th month which is a basic requirement in Germany).

• The Omniplatform is very user friendly
• Onboarding is quick and easy
• The website is very useful
• The team are very helpful

Incentivized

• payroll
• employer of reference
• employment contract management

• Consistency - There's been a lot of turnover of staff over the past year. It would be ideal to have the same account manager for more than six months.
• In many countries, Omnipresent uses local service providers to employ folks. In those countries, we see really long response times, and the info provided isn't always accurate or easy to understand.

Incentivized

• patchy and slow customer service
• disjointed offboarding and onboarding processes
• poor customer experience overall

Depending on the country, other EORs are more economical. Some of their third party providers in country can impact employee experience.

The question doesn't really apply to a service like Omnipresent. If we are speaking about their app, it is easy to use and works fairly well

Clunky portal, can't even see the contracts and no useful dashboard.

Customer service is approachable but many times they can't offer solutions quickly enough

Question doesn't apply. Omnipresent is not a SaaS

Omnipresent has a good customer support system. We have been in touch before regarding an employee who needed to be onboarded as quickly as possible (outside of the minimum 2-week onboarding time frame). An issue is that there is no number to call, and we can only rely on emails, which is frustrating when you need to get in touch ASAP. Once we got in contact, they were really helpful.

I've had several queries when using Safeguard, every time response times were slow and at times they have been incorrect. The comms are disjointed, it feels level 1 support are not equipped to deal with basic questions and there's not really an escalation path fit for purpose. The answers come out either tone-deaf or administrative.

Again, this is not a software system. The question doesn't really apply

Remote, Global Velocity. We choose Omnipresent at the time due to the following reasons: 1) Cheaper. 2) Better customer service (offered a dedicated account manager). 3) Had a presence in all of the countries we wanted to hire an employee. 4) They believed speed was just important as we did when recruiting and hiring someone new. This was an important factor for us making sure we worked with a company who could get an employee signed quickly.

It was the cheapest at the time and to be honest we were not impressed with other players except Remote and Papa but they were way more expensive.

Incentivized

I think the price could be be better for smaller companies with a very Distributed workforce

Question doesn't apply. Omnipresent doesn't offer software as a service

Good as long as there are no issues, but if something arises attention and customer service lack a bit

Incentivized

• We have a greater selection of candidates as we can employ people abroad.
• Efficient billing system - they handle salary payroll.

Incentivized

• Allowed us to hire a German employee but at a fairly high cost
• Lack of customer centricity and a really heavy handed approach to customer service.
• Really poor client communications.
• Some basic processes were not performed adequately.
