Agile HRO vs Papaya Global
Papaya is a payroll engine. Agile is a full HR partner: same multi-country payroll depth, plus named HR leads in every market, mobility and visas in-house, and senior advisory you can actually call. Payroll is the floor, not the ceiling.
Why teams switch
Long enterprise onboardings cost you offers and candidates. Most Agile clients have their first hire live in under 72 hours.
Visas and relocation move on the same platform as payroll. No second SOW, no second vendor.
A senior advisor and a named in-country HR lead sit across your account, not a tier-1 inbox. Decisions about entity, benefits and structure happen faster.
