NelsonHall Identifies Atlas as a ‘Leader’ in its NEAT Vendor Evaluation for Employer of Record (EOR) Services 2024
CHICAGO, September 20th, 2024 — Atlas, the pioneer of Employer of Record (EOR) services, is pleased to announce its continued recognition as a ‘Leader’ in NelsonHall's NEAT Vendor Evaluation for Employer of Record (EOR) Services 2024. This follows on from Atlas' leadership position in the 2023 edition of the NEAT Vendor Evaluation, solidifying the company’s reputation for excellence in the EOR industry.
The NelsonHall Vendor Evaluation & Assessment Tool (NEAT) analyzes the performance of vendors that offer global EOR services, allowing strategic sourcing managers to assess the capability of these vendors across a range of criteria and business situations and identify the best performing ones. Evaluating vendors on both their ‘ability to deliver immediate benefit’ and their ‘ability to meet client future requirements’, vendors are then classified into one of four categories: Leaders, High Achievers, Innovators, and Major Players.
Atlas achieved Leader status across all categories for EOR Services in 2024, including ‘Innovation in Technology & Tools’, ‘Innovation in Services’, ‘Overall’, ‘SMB EOR Capability’ and ‘Enterprise EOR Capability’.
In recognizing Atlas as a Leader across EOR services, NelsonHall pointed to the company’s ability to meet future client requirements as well as delivering immediate benefits to its global EOR services clients. In particular, Atlas' strengths were identified as:
A mature EOR service provider offering multi-national firms across all market segments compliant service-enabled technology solutions, with capabilities in more than 160 countries and across dozens of industries, and targeted growth in underrepresented regions and countries
Atlas' 100% direct EOR services model, which strengthens service quality and compliance by eliminating third-party global and in-country partners
Total equity funding of ~$220m raised to date supports continued R&D efforts and growth strategies to expand its worldwide footprint and technology-enabled services
The Atlas HXM platform, which offers a single and modern system supporting all aspects of human experience management, including global expansion, onboarding, payroll, and resource management. The company maintains a robust product roadmap supporting continuous improvement and relevancy of the platform's functionality, including the development of expanded A.I. and fintech capabilities.
Atlas has expanded its Insights portal and advisory services to better support its clients’ workforce planning efforts, to include global compliance and HR policy, salary benchmarking and global talent availability.
The recognition of Atlas as a ‘Leader’ in ‘Enterprise EOR Capability’ shows that the company has found a strong fit with larger organizations who need strategic advice on their global workforce. Atlas is building out its global workforce advisory practice capabilities, harnessing market insights to anticipate and lead talent trends and providing workforce analytics and global planning solutions to optimize talent strategies.

Enterprise clients often have complex requirements, spanning multiple countries and involving various talent acquisition and management needs. Atlas is well-positioned to cater to these demands, leveraging its extensive global presence, deep understanding of local labor laws and regulations, and robust technology platform. By providing tailored, end-to-end EOR services, Atlas enables enterprise clients to navigate the challenges of global expansion, reduce operational risks, and scale their workforce efficiently.”
