What sets Gloroots apart from Multiplier?

Gloroots was built to help companies find, hire, and manage global talent. Ontop was built primarily to streamline international payroll and add fintech benefits, but it does not provide the end-to-end hiring infrastructure that global teams need.

By combining recruiting, hiring, and EOR, Gloroots reduces tool sprawl, operational handoffs, and compliance risk while making global hiring feel like a single, connected process.
