Indonesia is one of the fastest-growing digital and economic markets in Southeast Asia.
It is no surprise that many global companies are racing to find local talent or test the
market here.
However, the main hurdle is bureaucracy: setting up a legal entity (PT PMA) in
Indonesia takes months, requires significant capital, and involves complex legal
processes.
So, how can foreign companies hire Indonesian talent quickly and legally? The answer is
using an Employer of Record (EOR) solution.
What is an Employer of Record (EOR)?
Simply put, an Employer of Record (EOR) is a service where a local partner like Accura
acts as the "proxy" or legal employer for your workforce in Indonesia.
While the employees are legally contracted under Accura, they work 100% under your
management and direction. We take over all the recruitment, administrative, and legal
burdens behind the scenes.
Why Do Global Corporations Choose Accura's EOR?
Compared to conventional methods, an EOR offers much higher flexibility and efficiency.
Here is an in-depth comparison between setting up your own entity and using Accura as
your EOR proxy:
| Business Aspect | Setting Up PT PMA (Own Entity) | Accura EOR Proxy |
| Setup Time | 3 - 6 Months (Bureaucracy & licensing) | 1 - 2 Weeks (Employees are ready to work) |
| Upfront Costs | Very High (Notary, paid-up capital, office rent) | Zero / Very Low (Monthly service fee only) |
| Legal Risk | Fully borne by your company | Absorbed by Accura (As the Legal Employer) |
| Talent Sourcing | Must recruit independently without local networks | Fully Assisted (We find the best talent for you) |
| Admin & Payroll | Must build an HR team & internal systems |
Fully Managed (Consolidated in 1 monthly invoice) |
| Tax Compliance | Risk of fines for incorrect filing | 100% Compliant (Managed by Accura's experts) |
Our Core Advantages
- End-to-End Talent Sourcing: Don't have a candidate yet? Our team will source,
screen, and recommend the best local talent that fits your company's
specifications and culture. - Speed to Market: Once a candidate is selected, you can have a legally compliant
team ready to work in a matter of days. - Zero Compliance Risk: We ensure employment contracts comply with the latest
local labor laws and handle all mandatory registrations for national social security
and healthcare (BPJS). - Precision Payroll: Our system handles attendance, timely payroll distribution,
and monthly tax deductions and reporting (equivalent to local PPh 21) with high
accuracy.
How Does It Work?
Our workflow is designed to be highly streamlined:
- Sourcing & Screening (Optional): Tell us the candidate profile you are looking for.
We will filter resumes, conduct initial interviews, and recommend top candidates. - Onboarding & Legalities: We issue legally binding local employment contracts
and register the employees with the national insurance system. - Daily Operations: The employees start working directly under your company's
instruction and direction. - Monthly Management: Every month, we process payroll, tax reporting, and
provide other HR administrative support.

Accura's EOR service is a strategic move for:
- Foreign companies looking to hire remote developers, marketers, or support staff
