Remote Work: Talents Are Taking Back Control of Their Careers
The world of work has undergone a profound transformation in recent years. Remote work, once reserved for certain professions or exceptional circumstances, has become the norm in many companies worldwide. Thanks to digital tools and improved work organization, it is now possible to collaborate effectively without being physically present in an office.
This shift has given rise to a new professional model: working for a foreign company while staying in one’s home country. This means that geographic borders are no longer an obstacle to accessing international job opportunities. A developer based in Dakar, an executive assistant in Antananarivo, or a graphic designer in Cotonou can now offer their services to companies in France, Canada, or Germany without needing to emigrate.
But this freedom raises an essential question: how can such collaborations be secured from a legal, social, and tax perspective? How can one benefit from a legal and protective framework while working with a client based abroad?
This is where international EOR presents itself as a modern, ethical, and secure solution.
The Role of International EOR Companies
Stay Employed While Working with a Foreign Client
EOR companies enable professionals to work with foreign businesses while remaining officially employed in their home country. This model provides a clear legal framework: the talent signs a local employment contract with the portage company, which then invoices the foreign client. This allows the worker to benefit from employee status and all the associated social protections (social security, pension, health insurance).
A Win-Win Model for Businesses
For client companies, this model avoids the administrative complexities of international hiring. They don’t need to open a local branch or deal with foreign labor laws. The portage company acts as an intermediary, providing legal assurance and simplified HR management.
A Relevant Solution for Emerging Countries
In many countries across Africa and Asia, where informal work is still widespread, EOR offers a unique opportunity. It allows qualified professionals to work with international clients while gaining formal employment status in their own country contributing to labor formalization and local economic stability.
Breedj: A EOR Solution Designed for Africa
A Vision Focused on Impact and Inclusion
Breedj is more than just an HR platform it is a solution designed to meet two major challenges in today’s workforce. On one side, the economic inclusion of millions of talented individuals in the Global South, often excluded from traditional recruitment channels. On the other side, the growing need of international companies for qualified, quickly available remote talent.
Born out of the experience of Talenteum, a pioneer in remote recruitment from Africa, Breedj carries a strong social and technological vision: connecting African talent with global opportunities while respecting local legal frameworks and promoting fair collaboration.
In practical terms, Breedj allows talents based in Madagascar, Senegal, Benin, Rwanda, and other African countries to work with international companies based in France, Canada, Germany, or Mauritius while remaining legally employed in their country of residence.
This approach helps fight brain drain, supports local economic stability, and strengthens the social rights of independent workers, who are often vulnerable in legal terms.
Breedj thus embodies a new, more inclusive, responsible, and sustainable way of working.
How EOR Works with Breedj
The process is simple and secure:
The talent identifies a potential international client or is connected through the platform.
Breedj signs a service contract with the client company.
The talent is employed locally by Breedj in their country of residence.
The foreign company is invoiced monthly by Breedj.
The talent receives a monthly local salary with all social contributions (social security, retirement, health insurance, etc.).
Breedj handles all administrative, tax, and legal management freeing both the talent and the client from any complexity.
Real-Life Examples

Rose secured a project with a French company. Instead of working as a freelancer without legal status, she opted for EOR through Breedj. She is now an employee in Benin, benefits from social protection, and receives a stable income every month.
James, Web Developer in Kenya
James used to freelance for several European clients. With Breedj, he formalized his contracts, secured a local employment contract, contributed to social security, and was even able to get a bank loan thanks to his pay slips.
Modestine, Community Manager in Madagascar
Modestine was recommended by another member of the community. She now works for a Canadian company while being an employee in Madagascar. Her employer appreciates the simplicity of the model, and she enjoys financial stability in her home country.

A New Way to Work in a Globalized World
Remote work is no longer a temporary trend or limited to a few sectors. It has become an essential component of the modern workplace. For talents in emerging countries, this represents a historic opportunity: to collaborate with international companies while staying close to home, their family, and their culture.
However, accessing these opportunities should not come at the cost of security or legality. Too many professionals are still forced to work without social protection, without contracts, and with financial instability. This is where Breedj offers a concrete and innovative solution.
By enabling you to work with an international client while remaining employed in your own country, Breedj provides a secure, compliant, and transparent framework. You collaborate with a foreign client, but you’re a local employee with all the social benefits that implies.
If you have a client or are in contact with a company hiring remotely don’t miss this opportunity.
With Breedj, turn your network into opportunity and your skills into a sustainable career.
