Download our essential Agent of Record (AoR) evaluation checklist
Managing a growing contractor workforce across diverse regions is already a challenge. Layer on evolving regulations, heightened risk exposure, and the need for operational oversight, and suddenly, your Agent of Record becomes either a critical ally, or a costly vulnerability.
To help you determine whether your current AoR is truly adding value, we’ve developed a practical, in-depth evaluation checklist. This resource is informed by decades of experience supporting global organisations with workforce compliance, international payroll, and contractor management solutions.
Whether you’re entering new markets, reviewing existing vendors, or simply seeking clarity on what your AoR should be delivering, this checklist offers a side-by-side benchmark that supports confident, compliant decision-making.
What’s included in the AoR evaluation checklist?
This free, downloadable checklist offers a clear and practical framework to assess the capabilities of your current or potential AoR provider. Inside, you’ll find:
- A comprehensive overview of critical AoR roles and responsibilities
- Expert guidance for assessing compliance, transparency, and risk control
- Objective scoring criteria for side-by-side vendor comparison
- Insights into common service gaps and operational red flags
- A ready-made tool to enhance your vendor review and selection process
Why evaluating your AoR matters now
As contractor workforces expand and labour regulations tighten globally, organisations, especially in tech, finance, healthcare, and professional services, are under greater scrutiny to maintain compliance, streamline costs, and improve visibility across extended workforces.
Your AoR should be more than a transactional service provider. They should act as a strategic partner, reducing compliance risk, easing administrative workload, and enabling you to scale with confidence. This checklist is your first step in ensuring they live up to that role.
Who will benefit from this checklist?
This checklist has been developed specifically for professionals who manage or influence workforce strategy, including:
- HR and talent acquisition leaders overseeing contract workforce programmes
- Procurement and vendor management teams evaluating third-party providers
- Legal and compliance officers charged with risk mitigation
- CFOs and operational leaders seeking measurable service performance
- Organisations preparing to appoint or switch AoR partners
