Who is Lundi for?

Lundi works with companies building international teams of 10 or more — typically in finance, accounting, HR/payroll, BD/sales, operations, or IT. Not for one-off hires or individual placements.

How is this different from an EOR?

EOR platforms employ individuals for you. Lundi recruits, employs, and operates concentrated teams — including day-to-day management, HR, and an optional path to your own entity. It's the operating model for companies that have outgrown the EOR ceiling.
