Why GoGlobal and how were different

• Were private: We totally respect that many companies raise a lot of capital and we applaud these successes. At GoGlobal, we simply like people actually in the business to control the business.
• Were not a rocket ship: Were pretty happy on earth. Growth isnt everything.
• Were not a tech company: We fundamentally believe that this industry cannot be replaced by tech in the foreseeable future and its the people that make the difference.
• Were profitable: Were pretty prudent in how we spend money because were managing our business without outside investors. That said, were profitable and continue to grow sustainably. We sleep better at night knowing that we dont have to raise money. Maybe its a little old school, but we believe businesses should be profitable to survive long term.
• Were diverse. No, really, we are. Compare the Our People page on our website to others you know. We think youll agree!
• Were transparent: Every month we openly share our strategy and financials so you feel ownership of your role in the companys success.
• Were structured as a partnership versus a corporation: Were the only EOR in the world thats structured this way, allowing us to attract some of the best talent since everyone has the opportunity to be a partner in the firm.
• We are the scrappy underdog: We think its more fun to be a pirate than to be in the navy.

Protecting Yourself Against Recruiting Scams

Please be aware that there are people impersonating GoGlobal employees and creating fake job listings to steal personal information and/or money from candidates. We want to make sure that all interested applicants stay safe when applying for jobs at GoGlobal.

Follow these tips to safeguard your personal information:

Verify Job Listings:

• All legitimate GoGlobal job openings on external platforms (e.g., LinkedIn, Indeed) are also listed on our official website: GoGlobal Careers. If you spot a GoGlobal position solely on a job board, without a corresponding listing on our site, it's likely a scam.

Check Email Domains:

Validate Job Offers:

• Legitimate job offers at GoGlobal entail a rigorous interview process involving multiple rounds. Be wary of any offer received without undergoing this standard procedure.

Protect Personal Information:

• GoGlobal never solicits passport details, financial information (such as credit cards or bank accounts), or money from job candidates. If asked for such information prior to a thorough interview process, it's likely a scam.

Verification Assistance:

• If you've received a job offer from GoGlobal but are unsure of its legitimacy, contact us at [email protected] before divulging any personal information for onboarding purposes. We're here to assist you in verifying the authenticity of the offer.

Stay vigilant and prioritize your security throughout the job application process. If you encounter any suspicious activity, don't hesitate to reach out to us for clarification. Your safety is paramount to us at GoGlobal.
