TriNet and Multiplier have partnered up to bring you TriNet Global: the TriNet platform, powered by global employment infrastructure that’s natively embedded. Now, tens of thousands more U.S. businesses can hire, pay, and manage international teams without leaving the tools they already trust.
Global hiring is no longer optional. It’s a strategic necessity. Multiplier’s “The global hiring gap” revealed that 96% of companies plan to increase global hiring in 2026 – driven not by cost reduction, but by demand for AI skills, regional expertise, and the talent quality that distributed teams consistently deliver. Yet despite this momentum, 47% of companies have already failed to onboard a global hire due to compliance, tax, or regulatory issues. The ambition has always been there, but the infrastructure hasn’t.
Today, we’re thrilled to announce TriNet Global, powered by Multiplier — a new global employment solution designed to close this gap. By embedding Multiplier’s global hiring, payroll, and compliance infrastructure directly into the TriNet platform, businesses can now move from ambition to execution without the usual friction. This will be rolling out to TriNet customers in the coming weeks.
Why Multiplier and TriNet joined forces
TriNet is the trusted platform tens of thousands of U.S. businesses rely on for PEO, HR, and benefits. Multiplier is the Global Exchange for Work – precision-built infrastructure enabling companies to hire, manage, and pay international talent compliantly across 150+ countries.
The talent market demanded that TriNet’s customers hire globally — 70% of tech talent hired by U.S. firms now comes from APAC, and over 80% of accounting talent hired by U.S. companies in the last two years has been international. But increasingly strict immigration rules have made that difficult. Businesses have been left with no choice but to undergo costly visa sponsorship processes and hire locally – unless they have global-first infrastructure to support them.
By partnering with Multiplier, TriNet could immediately access EOR, COR, and Global Payroll and start hiring compliantly in 150+ countries. Multiplier’s infrastructure isn’t assembled from third-party providers. It’s architected ground-up as a global employment platform. That means global isn’t an afterthought, and our legal entities, payroll engines, and global compliance hub are all owned and operated by us. No outside vendors. No unknown intermediaries. Just infrastructure you can trust.
What TriNet Global delivers
TriNet Global brings the full global employment lifecycle inside the TriNet experience, designed around two complementary layers.
Global HR, built into TriNet
Key parts of the international workforce experience live right inside the TriNet platform — no extra tools to learn. Customers start international hiring — whether EOR, employee, or contractor — using the same hiring flow they already use for U.S. employees. All new hires appear in one combined list, with international hires marked with a globe icon for easy identification. A single, unified view of the entire workforce gives businesses clear visibility across every market, with integrated reporting, org charts, and employee profiles all displayed inside TriNet. It feels familiar because it is. TriNet customers manage their global team from the same place they manage their local one.
Global expertise when it matters most
For country-specific actions that require deeper local expertise, TriNet securely hands off to Multiplier with seamless, passwordless authentication — so customers move between platforms without friction. This includes
- Viewing and editing local contracts, benefits, and employment documents
- Managing global payroll and payments in 120+ currencies across EOR, and contractor invoices
- Handling compliant termination and offboarding in accordance with local labor laws.
Behind the scenes, Multiplier’s 24/7 in-country support teams are available for day-to-day HR questions and local employment guidance – all humans, no bots.
TriNet empowers customers with visibility and seamless navigation. Multiplier provides the deep, localized expertise required for global employment. Together, they form a streamlined, compliant, and comprehensive solution.
Key capabilities for TriNet customers
- Hire in 150+ countries without a local entity. Access the world’s talent pool from the platform you already know. Multiplier’s fully owned entity network means businesses can hire compliantly across markets — reducing intermediaries, lowering immigration dependency, and building resilient distributed teams.
- Flexible employment models. Support EOR workers, independent contractors, and employees on your own entities — with the flexibility to choose the right model for each market and scale as you grow.
- Compliance built in, not bolted on. 47% of companies have already failed to onboard a global hire due to compliance, tax, or regulatory issues. TriNet Global addresses this with built-in compliance guardrails, localised contracts and tax guidance, and 24/7 in-country human support for day-to-day HR questions.
- Global payroll in 120+ currencies. Pay employees compliantly and on time in their local currency, or cryptocurrency, all from one place.
- Localized benefits. Offer employees world-class competitive benefits that meet local regulations and expectations, supported by a broad selection of plans across the U.S. and 150+ countries — managed from a single platform.
What’s coming next
Today’s announcement marks the public launch of the partnership. General availability for TriNet customers and prospects is coming very soon.
Global workforce management at TriNet just got simpler. We’re proud to be part of that shift, and to keep making global HR feel as straightforward as local HR within the TriNet experience.
We cannot wait to help you grow your team — anywhere.
