We have an exciting opportunity available in our MILES EOR team based in Leiden, the Netherlands.
As an EOR HR Consultant, you combine employment law and HR knowledge with hands-on operational execution. You support both employees and clients as part of our Employer of Record (EOR+) service, ensuring compliant employment practices while contributing to the day-to-day delivery of our services.
