Overview

The EOR-Only vs. EOR + Co-Management one-pager shows what changes when a management layer sits on top of the standard EOR foundation: recruiting against your actual role needs, a dedicated Ops Manager for day-to-day performance oversight, and a structured four-part retention strategy.

Built for teams evaluating whether their current EOR setup goes far enough, it lines up hiring, oversight, and retention support side by side, plus three questions worth asking any provider before you sign.

Key Highlights

  • A Side-by-Side Comparison. See exactly where a standalone EOR’s responsibility stops and where co-management picks up, across hiring, oversight, and retention support.
  • A Dedicated Ops Manager. Every co-managed team gets a 50:1 employee-to-manager ratio, so performance is owned day to day, not just at renewal.
  • Three Questions to Ask Any Provider. A quick gut-check for whether a vendor is managing your team or just processing its payroll.
  • The Track Record. 98% client retention and 21-day average deployment, backed by a structured four-part retention strategy.

Wondering if your EOR is quietly leaving performance on the table? Download the guide to see the difference co-management makes.

The Challenge

A company-wide hiring freeze left the client’s project teams without enough in-house estimators to keep pace with a growing pipeline of construction and engineering bids. In an industry where precise cost estimating is the foundation of effective project budgeting and resource allocation, every delayed estimate risked a missed submission deadline — and a lost contract.

The Approach

Connext matched the client with independent contractors who specialized in construction cost estimating, then helped rebuild a structured, multi-step budgeting process from the ground up:
