Our initial service to Visa was to provide Employer of Record (EOR) solutions for staffing in Iraq, and due to our successful partnership expanded into the MENA region by providing full workforce services compliantly in the UAE, Lebanon and various African nations.
The Challenge: A Compliant Employer of Record (EOR) Solution
Before engaging mselect, Visa, a global leader in digital payments, faced significant challenges in establishing a transparent and compliant Employer of Record (EOR) solution in Iraq, Dubai, Lebanon, and several African nations.
Having experienced significant obstacles to their ability to employ staff effectively in these countries due to the complexities of local labour laws and regulatory requirements, Visa realised that without a reliable EOR provider, they would struggle to ensure smooth regional operational continuity in each country.
Additionally, Visa faced difficulties in identifying and hiring highly skilled nationals for their key managerial positions, and the scarcity of experienced professionals in the local talent markets further complicated their workforce expansion.
mselect's Solution: Experienced Employer of Record and Workforce Services
mselect stepped in as Visa's trusted workforce solutions provider, initially focusing on Iraq, offering a fully compliant EOR platform to enable effective regional operations. By employing Visa's staff on their behalf, we ensured full legal and regulatory compliance, mitigating risks and streamlining Visa's presence in the country.
Beyond compliance, we were able to use our deep industry understanding and expertise, as well as our extensive network, to address Visa's talent acquisition challenges. By conducting a targeted recruitment campaign, we (mselect) successfully sourced and mobilised multiple experienced managerial professionals within Iraq, filling critical leadership roles for Visa.
Having successfully developed a strong working relationship and high-quality delivery for Iraq, Visa contracted us to provide EOR for several more nations they operate in.
MENA Expansion: Visa Expands Contract to Further Key Global Locations
Following the successful partnership in Iraq, Visa recognised mselect's value as a strategic workforce partner. Our contract with Visa was expanded beyond Iraq to multiple countries in the region, including Dubai, Lebanon, and several African nations.
mselect's ability to deliver tailored recruitment and outsourcing solutions cemented our reputation as a trusted global partner for Visa. We believe this is why Visa and other global brands continue to work with us.
