Hire exceptional MENA talent.We handle everything in between.
No local entity. Bilingual EN/AR contracts, a structured payroll cycle, payouts on the rails that work in each market — and one invoice at the end of it.
Illustrative product flow — not a real employer or payroll run.
You keep the relationship. We hold the employment.
An Employer of Record (EOR) legally employs your team member in their own country — so you can hire without opening a local company. You choose who to hire and how you work together; NoBound handles the contract, payroll and paperwork.

The only thing that changes iswho handles the paperwork.
You keep
- Who you hire
- What they work on
- How you manage them
- What they're paid
NoBound handles
- The local employment contract
- Payroll and payslips
- Statutory registrations and filings
- The records the country requires
Hiring across MENA is a project.It should be a decision.
Without local infrastructure a single hire drags in entity work, legal work, banking work and payroll work — and you keep that overhead long after the hire is made.
Doing it yourself
Nine workstreams. Most of them never end.

Schematic of sequence and recurrence — not a timeline.
From a name on a shortlist to a paid employee.
Eight steps, one system. Every step produces a record you can point at later — a document, an approval, a payment.
Illustrative product flow — not a real employer or payroll run.
01 / 08
Select the hire
You choose the person and the country. No sourcing detour, no marketplace bidding — this is the person you already want to employ.
Generate employment
A country-scoped employment agreement is prepared, in Arabic and English where the market expects both.
Verify
Identity, address and banking documents move from pending, through review, to verified before anything is activated.
Activate
Signatures are captured and employment becomes active, with the executed document stored against the record.
Fund
You see one funding requirement for the whole regional team, not a transfer per person.
Run payroll
Gross salary, employer obligations, the NoBound fee and any deductions resolve into a single payroll figure for the cycle.
Pay
Salaries move out through the local rails configured for each market, with payout state tracked per employee.
Report
Invoice, payroll receipt, payslips and workforce status are all available afterwards, for both sides.
Illustrative product flow — not a real employer or payroll run.
Built for markets global platforms treat as an afterthought.
Six markets, all the way down — real payout rails, bilingual contracts, and per-country configuration. Not 180 countries an inch deep.
Country information is general guidance only and does not constitute legal, tax, or HR advice.
World-class talent shouldn't need to relocate to work globally.
Palestine has one of the region's deepest benches of engineers and designers — strong English, deep remote-work experience, and working hours that overlap Europe's.
Hiring there has never been a talent problem. It's an infrastructure problem: banking rails, contract enforceability, payroll logistics. That infrastructure is exactly what we build.

Every contract. Both languages. One signature.
One employment relationship. Two simple experiences.
You run payroll from one dashboard. Your hire gets a portal with their contract, payslips and status — the same record, seen from both sides.
Same payroll run. Same record. Both sides see it.
Illustrative product flow — not a real employer or payroll run.
One invoice in. Payroll out.
You fund a single invoice. NoBound confirms the deposit, runs the cycle, and delivers salaries through each market's rails — every stage recorded and receipted.

Illustrative product flow — not a real employer or payroll run. FX rates indicative.
Payroll logic you can trust.
Built like a financial system, because it is one.
Computed and locked
Payroll amounts are calculated and locked by the platform — never edited by hand in a spreadsheet.
Funding before payout
No salary moves until your funding is confirmed. You always see what's funded and what's pending.
Explicit approvals
Every run passes through deliberate review and approval steps before anyone is paid.
Everything on the record
Every approval, change and payment is recorded — an employment record you can reconstruct later.
Documents and personal data live in private storage, served only through short-lived signed links.

Know what it costs before you commit.
A flat monthly service fee per person — $99 at our introductory rate, down from a $199 list price — plus the salary you choose. No percentage-of-salary surprises. Employer statutory obligations vary by market, and we confirm those with you rather than invent a number.
Up to 25 here — larger teams are priced the same way, per person.
For 1 person in Palestine
Introductory rate. $99 per person per month while it lasts, down from a list price of $199 — and the same price in every market, including the high-friction ones. A contractor billed through their own company is $49.
