Strengths and watch-outs in the UK

  • ✓ States that it employs UK staff through its own registered UK entity rather than a partner, and a matching company, Tarmack Limited (no. 14875742), is registered at the Milton Keynes address the provider publishes, so the claim can be checked on Companies House.
  • ✓ Publishes its prices openly, including a UK-specific pricing section: EOR from $199 per employee per month, contractor management from $39, payroll from $15 per employee per cycle and immigration from $999 per visa, where many UK providers quote only on request.
  • ✓ Covers a broad set of UK services from one provider: EOR, contractor management with IR35 considerations, recruiting, standalone payroll, HR software, visa support and UK company formation for clients that later want their own entity.
  • ✓ Its UK page, updated in August 2026, documents the UK compliance stack in detail, including PAYE and National Insurance rates, pension auto-enrolment, the written statement of particulars, digital right-to-work checks, the April 2026 minimum wage rates and Skilled Worker salary thresholds.
  • ✓ Offers a path from contractor to employee and custom terms for teams of 10 or more, so a client can start small and scale without changing provider.
  • ✗ No onboarding timeline is published for the UK, so a client cannot tell from the website how long it takes from signing to first working day.
  • ✗ The independent review record is thin and poor: Tarmack has no reviews on G2, and its Trustpilot profile shows 2.6 out of 5 from four one-star reviews alleging unpaid freelance work, to which the company has not replied. No review from a UK employer or employee was found.
  • ✗ The UK entity is young and lightly staffed at board level: Tarmack Limited was incorporated in May 2023, its British director resigned in May 2026, and the sole remaining director is recorded as resident in India.
  • ✗ The UK page contains template errors and inconsistencies, such as FAQ answers that refer to hiring in India and two different statutory sick pay figures (£118.75 and £96.35 per week), which reduce confidence in the guidance.
  • ✗ Key disclosures are missing: no leadership page, no published security certifications, no description of optional benefits, and no statement of whether Tarmack Limited holds a UK sponsor licence even though the page offers visa sponsorship coordination and notes that third-party sponsorship is not allowed.

Reviews

  • G2: no reviews. The Tarmack profile (read on g2.com, 8 October 2026) is claimed by the company with limited features and states that Tarmack has not been reviewed yet, so no aggregate rating and no UK-related review exist.
  • Trustpilot (uk.trustpilot.com, read 8 October 2026): rated 2.6 out of 5 (Poor) from 4 reviews, all one star, posted between April and August 2026 by reviewers in India, Uganda, Kenya and Nigeria. All four describe freelance or project work for Tarmack and allege unpaid work; one is titled "One of the biggest fraud company" and another says "Tarmack, please pay your workers what they are owed." Trustpilot notes that the company has not replied to negative reviews and has no recent history of inviting reviews. None of the reviews concerns UK employment or an EOR client.
  • No review from a UK employer or UK-based employee of Tarmack was found on G2 or Trustpilot.

Reviews are reported as found and are not verified by the directory. Trustpilot states that it does not fact-check reviews; the reviews found come from individual freelancers rather than EOR clients and may not reflect the UK employment service.

Strengths and watch-outs in Germany

  • ✓ Employs through its own German entity, Tarmack GmbH, which is verifiable in the commercial register (Amtsgericht Offenbach am Main HRB 56458, registered February 2024) with a stated business purpose that explicitly includes Employer of Record and payroll services.
  • ✓ Publishes a low headline price of $199 per employee per month for Employer of Record, together with published prices for contractor management ($39), payroll ($15 per payroll), recruiting (10%) and immigration ($999), where many providers quote only on request.
  • ✓ The Germany page, updated in August 2026, itemises the German statutory stack in detail, including Lohnsteuer, solidarity surcharge, church tax, the five social insurance branches, monthly reporting, the Lohnsteuerbescheinigung, works council requirements, the KSchG and social selection in terminations, and fixed-term contracts under the TzBfG.
  • ✓ Offers German immigration support covering EU Blue Card, skilled worker and ICT permits with coordination with the Ausländerbehörde, which is relevant for clients hiring non-EU nationals into Germany.
  • ✓ Service breadth in Germany extends from contractor engagement with classification assessment and conversion to employment, through EOR, to GmbH or UG formation and standalone payroll, so a client can move between models with one provider.
  • ✗ The provider does not say whether Tarmack GmbH holds an AÜG licence (Erlaubnis zur Arbeitnehmerüberlassung) or uses a licensed partner, and the Germany page does not mention the 18-month maximum assignment period or the nine-month equal pay rule that apply to employee leasing in Germany.
  • ✗ Tarmack GmbH is a young entity (registered February 2024, EUR 25,000 share capital, one managing director), and the free register page reviewed does not name its shareholder, so the link between the German entity and the group rests on the provider's own statement.
  • ✗ The independent review record is thin and negative: G2 lists no reviews, and Trustpilot shows 2.6/5 from four reviews, all one star, from freelancers who say they were not paid for project work, with no company reply recorded. None of these reviews concern German EOR employment.
  • ✗ Pricing is global rather than Germany-specific, and the pages reviewed publish no deposit, FX, setup fee or exit fee terms and no provider onboarding commitment beyond a general statement that German onboarding can take six business days or until the end of probation.
  • ✗ Corporate information is inconsistent and incomplete: the site footer names Tarmack Inc., the site's structured data names Get On Tarmack Private Limited (founded 2023), the Trustpilot profile gives a Bangalore address, the about-us link returns a 404 page, and no leadership page or security certification is published. The Germany page's income tax table also still shows a tax-free allowance of EUR 9,408, which is the 2020 figure, alongside 2026 minimum wage data.

Reviews

  • G2 overall: no reviews. The G2 listing for Tarmack (Global Employment Platforms category, last modified 22 June 2026) shows a company description and feature list but no rating and no reviews, so no Germany-related review could be found (read on g2.com, 8 October 2026).
  • Trustpilot overall: 2.6/5 from 4 reviews, all rated one star, profile claimed by the company in December 2025 (read on uk.trustpilot.com, 8 October 2026). Trustpilot notes that the company has no recent history of asking for reviews and has not replied to negative reviews.
  • All four Trustpilot reviews (April to August 2026, from reviewers in Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda and India, marked as unprompted) describe freelance project work rather than employment through an EOR; each says the reviewer was not paid for completed work. One reviewer wrote: "Tarmack, please pay your workers what they are owed." No German client or employee review was found on either site.

Reviews are reported as found and are not verified by the directory. The Trustpilot reviews concern freelance project work and do not describe Employer of Record employment in Germany.

Tarmack is a global hiring platform founded in 2024 by Pranay Chulet, operating from the US and India, that offers Employer of Record in 150-plus countries through partner entities, together with recruitment, contractor payments and payroll. It publishes a Portugal country page and employs there through a local partner entity rather than a company of its own.

Pricing is on request, it has no published Portuguese onboarding timeline or partner name, and its G2 listing has no reviews yet. It may suit buyers who want recruitment and employment from one vendor, but the partner's identity and licensing should be confirmed.

Spain profile

Tarmack is a global employment platform offering Employer of Record, contractor management, payroll, recruiting, immigration and company formation in 150+ countries (provider claim). The website names Tarmack Inc. (Delaware) as copyright holder, while its terms give Get On Tarmack Private Limited in Bangalore as the operating company, under Singapore law. Crunchbase lists Pranay Chulet, founder of Quikr, as co-founder and CEO, and Companies House shows him as a director of Tarmack Limited since May 2023. The site says it was founded in 2023; third-party listings say 2024.

For Spain, Tarmack says it acts as the legal employer but names no Spanish company and, unlike its UK and Germany pages, does not claim an entity of its own. No Tarmack company appeared in einforma or axesor searches of Spanish registered companies (26 October 2026), so a local partner is likely (not verified). The partner's CIF, and whether it is an authorised temporary work agency (ETT), which in Spain is the only lawful way to supply staff to work under a client's direction, cannot be checked. The Spain page lists hiring, IRPF and social security payroll, benefits, permits and SL formation, but contains errors: a Macau GDP figure, 16 days of paternity leave, the 2025 minimum wage, a 30-minute break rule and sick pay at 100% from day 30.

The pricing page lists EOR from $199 per employee per month, contractor management from $39, payroll from $15 per employee per payroll, recruiting at 10% of salary and immigration from $999; none of it is Spain-specific and no setup, deposit or exit terms are given. G2 lists no reviews, and Trustpilot shows 2.6/5 from four one-star reviews by freelancers alleging unpaid work, none about Spain.

Spain facts

Spanish employing entityNot disclosed. The Spain page says Tarmack serves as 'Employer of Record (EOR) Spain and Global PEO ... as the legal employer' but names no Spanish company and, unlike its UK and Germany pages, does not claim its own local entity. Searches of einforma and axesor (which index companies in the Registro Mercantil) for 'Tarmack' and 'Get On Tarmack' returned no matching company on 26 October 2026, so Spanish hires are most likely employed by an unnamed local partner (not verified).
CIF / commercial registerNot published, and no Spanish Tarmack company found. Similarly named Spanish companies (Tarmac Aragón SL, Tarmac Trading SL, Tarmac Gestión SL) are unrelated businesses.
ETT authorisationCannot be verified, because no Spanish entity or CIF is disclosed. Under the Estatuto de los Trabajadores (Article 43) and Ley 14/1994, only an authorised empresa de trabajo temporal (ETT) may supply workers to operate under another company's direction; other arrangements risk being treated as illegal assignment of workers (cesión ilegal). The Spain page does not mention ETT rules. Clients should ask which Spanish company will employ the worker and whether it is a registered ETT.
Spanish addressNone published; no Spanish office is listed.
Group entitiesTarmack Inc. (copyright holder; Newark, Delaware address in earlier research, New York per Crunchbase); Get On Tarmack Private Limited, named in the terms as operator at Rachenahalli Village, Bangalore North 560045; terms governed by Singapore law. Tarmack Limited (Companies House 14875742, Milton Keynes) is the UK company, and the directory's Germany research found Tarmack GmbH (Amtsgericht Offenbach am Main HRB 56458, registered February 2024).
Founder and leadershipCrunchbase lists Pranay Chulet as co-founder and CEO, with Quikr (founder and CEO) as his past role. Companies House lists Pranaya Chulet as a director of Tarmack Limited since 17 May 2023; co-director Deepak Misra resigned on 1 May 2026. The website has no leadership page.
Founded2023 according to the website's structured data and the May 2023 UK incorporation; third-party sites give 2024, which conflicts with the registered dates.
Contract typesIndefinite, fixed-term and temporary contracts with probation clauses under the Estatuto de los Trabajadores (provider claim). The page gives probation as typically two months, extendable to six for qualified technicians, and cites the 2021 labour reform (Real Decreto-ley 32/2021) but does not explain the post-reform limits on fixed-term contracts.
Payroll and statutoryMonthly payroll in EUR with IRPF withholding, employer and employee social security contributions and monthly and annual filings with the Agencia Tributaria and the Seguridad Social; 14 salary payments a year where the contract or collective agreement requires them. The page gives employer contributions as 31.55% and employee contributions as 8%, without the intergenerational equity mechanism (MEI) surcharge, and lists the IRPF scale from 19% to 47%.
Termination contentCorrectly states that unfair dismissal (despido improcedente) carries 33 days' salary per year of service capped at 24 months, that objective dismissal carries 20 days per year capped at 12 months, and that employees have 20 working days to challenge a dismissal.
Accuracy of Spain pageContains errors (page dated 7 July 2026): a line on 'Macau's GDP' copied from another country page; 'unpaid' maternity leave of 16 weeks and 16 days of paternity leave, whereas birth leave is equal for both parents and, since Real Decreto-ley 9/2025, totals 19 paid weeks each; a 2026 minimum wage of EUR 1,381 a month, which matches the 2025 SMI prorated over 12 months (the 2026 SMI is EUR 1,221 in 14 payments under Real Decreto 126/2026); a 30-minute break per six hours (the statute gives 15 minutes); sick pay at 100% from day 30 (statutory benefit is 75% from day 21, with top-ups only by agreement); and Christmas Day dated 'Dec 2'.
Other services in SpainContractor management for autónomos with classification checks and conversion to employment; work and residence permits including the Highly Qualified Professional permit, EU Blue Card and digital nomad visa; recruiting; standalone payroll; HR software; and SL or SA incorporation with Registro Mercantil, tax and social security registration (provider claims).
Entry priceEOR from $199 per employee per month as a global list price, not confirmed for Spain. Contractor management from $39 per month, payroll from $15 per employee per payroll, recruiting 10% of annual salary, immigration from $999 and HR software from $2; custom quotes for 10+ employees. No setup fee, deposit, FX margin or exit fee is published.

Employer of RecordHires full-time employees in Spain on indefinite, fixed-term or temporary contracts under the Estatuto de los Trabajadores, handling Seguridad Social and tax registration, onboarding, probation clauses and HR administration. Tarmack says it acts as legal employer but does not name the Spanish entity, say whether a partner is used or address ETT authorisation. Priced from $199 per employee per month on the global pricing page.
Payroll and complianceMonthly EUR payroll with IRPF withholding, employer and employee social security contributions, the 14-payment salary structure where applicable, and monthly and annual filings with the Agencia Tributaria and Seguridad Social. Standalone payroll for companies with their own Spanish entity is offered from $15 per employee per payroll, including payslips, expenses and annual summaries.
HR policy and terminationsHR policies aligned with Spanish labour law and collective agreements (convenios colectivos), working-time rules, disciplinary procedures, objective and disciplinary dismissals and ERE or ERTE processes where applicable (provider claims). The page's severance figures are correct, but parts of its leave and working-time guidance are out of date or wrong.
Contractor management (Agent of Record)Contracts, invoicing and payments for Spanish autónomos, with a worker-classification risk assessment and an option to convert contractors to employees. From $39 per contractor per month.
Work permits and immigrationSupport with Spanish work and residence permits, including the Highly Qualified Professional permit, EU Blue Card and digital nomad visa, coordinated with the immigration authorities. Immigration is priced from $999 on the pricing page. Who would act as the Spanish sponsoring employer is not stated.
RecruitingCandidate sourcing in Spain and abroad, screening, interview coordination, background checks and salary benchmarking, at 10% of the candidate's annual salary.
Company formation and enterpriseIncorporation of a Spanish SL or SA with Registro Mercantil, tax and social security registration and optional payroll, HR and immigration support, priced on request. Custom EOR packages for teams of 10 or more include cost modelling of social security, the 14-payment structure and severance exposure.

Strengths and watch-outs in Spain

  • ✓ Publishes a low headline price, from $199 per employee per month for EOR, alongside prices for contractor management ($39), payroll ($15 per payroll), recruiting (10%) and immigration ($999), where many competitors quote only on request.
  • ✓ The person behind it can be identified in an official register: Pranaya Chulet, listed by Crunchbase as co-founder and CEO and known as the founder of Quikr, has been a director of Tarmack Limited at Companies House since May 2023.
  • ✓ Offers a wide range of services for Spain from one platform: EOR, standalone payroll, autónomo contractor management with conversion to employment, Highly Qualified Professional, Blue Card and digital nomad permit support, recruiting and SL formation.
  • ✓ The Spain page covers the main legal frameworks (Estatuto de los Trabajadores, LGSS, LPRL, the 2021 labour reform) and states dismissal compensation correctly: 33 days per year capped at 24 months for unfair dismissal and 20 days capped at 12 months for objective dismissal.
  • ✓ Offers custom terms for teams of 10 or more, so a client can start with one hire and move to enterprise pricing without changing provider.
  • ✗ The Spanish employing entity is not disclosed and no Tarmack company was found in Spanish company registers, so the service most likely relies on an unnamed partner whose CIF, financial standing and ETT authorisation cannot be checked before signing; without an authorised ETT, an arrangement where the client directs the worker risks being treated as illegal assignment of workers (cesión ilegal).
  • ✗ The Spain page has substantive errors: 16 days of paternity leave and 'unpaid' maternity leave (birth leave is 19 paid weeks per parent since Real Decreto-ley 9/2025), the 2025 minimum wage presented as the 2026 rate, a 30-minute break rule, 100% sick pay from day 30 and a Macau GDP line copied from another page.
  • ✗ The independent review record is poor: G2 lists no reviews, and Trustpilot shows 2.6/5 from four one-star reviews (April to August 2026) by freelancers alleging unpaid work, with no company replies.
  • ✗ The corporate structure is unclear: the site names a Delaware Inc., the terms an Indian private company under Singapore law, and third parties give a founding year (2024) that conflicts with the registered 2023 date.
  • ✗ No onboarding time, deposit, setup, FX or exit terms, security certifications or Spanish benefit plans are published, and the $199 price is not confirmed for Spain.

Reviews

  • G2: no reviews. The Tarmack listing (read by the directory on 26 October 2026) shows 'Tarmack hasn't been reviewed yet' and carries vendor-supplied pricing and customer claims (Amazon, Uber, IKEA, DHL) that are not verified.
  • Trustpilot (uk.trustpilot.com, read 26 October 2026): 2.6/5 ('Poor') from 4 reviews, all one star, posted between April and August 2026, by freelancers in India, Uganda, Kenya and Nigeria describing unpaid project work; Trustpilot notes no replies to negative reviews.

Poland profile

Tarmack is a global employment platform offering Employer of Record, contractor management, payroll, recruiting, immigration and company formation in 150+ countries (provider claim). The website names Tarmack Inc., with addresses in Newark, Delaware, Milton Keynes and Bangalore. The terms give Get On Tarmack Private Limited in Bangalore as the operating company and Singapore law as the governing law. Crunchbase lists Pranay Chulet, founder and former CEO of Quikr, as co-founder and CEO. Companies House confirms Pranaya Chulet as a director of Tarmack Limited since its incorporation on 17 May 2023. The site gives 2023 as the founding year, which contradicts the 2024 date in third-party listings.

For Poland, Tarmack does not say which entity employs staff. Its UK and Germany pages claim an own local entity, but the Poland page only says Tarmack acts as the legal employer. No Tarmack company appears in the Polish register or in searches of Polish business databases, so the service most likely runs through an unnamed local partner (not verified). The partner's KRS, NIP and KRAZ status cannot be checked. The page lists hiring, ZUS and PIT payroll, benefits, Blue Card and work permit support, B2B contractor management and sp. z o.o. formation. It also contains errors: a seven-day notice period, an 11-month cap on fixed-term contracts, and a contractor section that refers to Peru and penalties in PEN.

The pricing page lists EOR from $199 per employee per month, contractor management from $39, payroll from $15 per employee per payroll, recruiting at 10% of annual salary and a custom quote for more than 10 hires. No deposit, setup, FX or exit terms are given. G2 lists no reviews. Trustpilot shows 2.6/5 from four one-star reviews by freelancers alleging unpaid work, none about EOR in Poland.

Poland facts

Polish employing entityNot disclosed. The Poland page says Tarmack acts as the legal employer but names no Polish company and, unlike its UK and Germany pages, does not claim its own local entity. No 'Tarmack' company was found in Polish register searches or on GLEIF (26 October 2026), so a local partner is likely (not verified).
KRS / NIP / REGONNot published, and no Polish Tarmack entity found. The only close name match in the register, TARMAK sp. z o.o. (KRS 0001126442, Ostrołęka), is an unrelated company.
KRAZ statusCannot be verified, because no Polish entity or NIP is disclosed. Clients should ask which Polish company will employ the worker and check its KRAZ entry at stor.praca.gov.pl.
Group entitiesTarmack Inc. (copyright holder; addresses at 19 Kris Court, Newark, Delaware, while Crunchbase lists New York). Get On Tarmack Private Limited is named in the terms as the operating company, at Rachenahalli Village, Bangalore North 560045. The terms are governed by Singapore law. Tarmack Limited (Companies House 14875742, Milton Keynes) is the UK company, and the directory's Germany research found Tarmack GmbH (Offenbach HRB 56458).
Founder and leadershipCrunchbase lists Pranay Chulet as co-founder and CEO, with Quikr (founder and CEO) as his past role, and AlternativeTo names him as the developer. Companies House lists Pranaya Chulet (American, resident in India, born March 1973) as a director of Tarmack Limited since 17 May 2023. The co-director Deepak Misra resigned on 1 May 2026. The website has no leadership page.
Founded2023, according to the website's structured data and the May 2023 incorporation of the UK company. Third-party sites give 2024 (some say April 2024), which conflicts with the registered dates.
HeadquartersNot stated clearly. The terms name the Bangalore operating company, the footer names Tarmack Inc. (Delaware), and Crunchbase lists New York. Trustpilot shows the Bangalore address and an Indian phone number.
Contract typesPermanent (indefinite), fixed-term and trial-period contracts under the Labour Code, with probation of up to 3 months. The page wrongly says one fixed-term contract may last up to 11 months, can be renewed three times and cannot exceed 33 months in total. Polish law caps fixed-term work at 33 months and three contracts. B2B contractors are handled under contractor management.
Payroll and statutoryPLN payroll with PIT withholding, employee and employer ZUS contributions, health insurance and other statutory deductions. It includes monthly and annual reporting to ZUS and the tax office. The page mentions PPK as a mandatory employer-co-funded scheme and PPE as voluntary.
Accuracy of Poland pageThe page contains errors. It gives a flat seven-day notice period (Polish notice is 2 weeks, 1 month or 3 months depending on service) and describes severance as payable for 'invalid termination'. Its misclassification section is copied from a Peru page and cites penalties of 1,000 to 30,000 PEN. It also says employees are entitled to '33 days of paid sick leave' (33 days is the employer-paid period).
Other services in PolandRecruiting, standalone payroll, contractor management (Agent of Record) with conversion to employment, and work permits, temporary residence and the EU Blue Card. It also lists HR software and sp. z o.o. formation with KRS, VAT and CIT registration, plus custom enterprise packages for 10 or more employees.
Entry priceFrom $199 per employee per month for EOR, as a global list price that is not specific to Poland. Contractor management is from $39 per month, payroll from $15 per employee per payroll and recruiting is 10% of annual salary. Immigration is quoted per work permit or visa, company formation on request, and enterprise (10+) by custom quote. No setup fee, deposit, FX margin or exit fee is published.
Security certificationsNot published on the pages reviewed.

Global profile

Tarmack is a global employment platform founded in 2023 that offers Employer of Record, contractor management, payroll, recruiting, immigration, ESOP administration and company formation in '150+ countries' (provider claim). Its corporate structure is spread across three jurisdictions. The website copyright holder is Tarmack Inc., with an address in New Castle County, Delaware. The terms name Get On Tarmack Private Limited in Bangalore as the operating company, under Singapore governing law. Crunchbase (per earlier directory research) lists Pranay Chulet, founder of the Indian classifieds site Quikr, as co-founder and CEO.

Tarmack's country pages claim its own registered entity in the UK, Germany, India, Singapore and Vietnam. Registers confirm the UK company and Tarmack GmbH (Amtsgericht Offenbach am Main HRB 56458, registered February 2024). In other markets, such as Poland and Spain, the pages name no entity, and the directory found no local Tarmack company, so those markets probably run through unnamed partners (not verified). The site does not say how many entities it owns or list them.

Published prices start at $199 per employee per month for EOR, $39 per contractor per month, $15 per employee per payroll run, 10% of annual salary for recruiting, $999 per visa and $2 per employee per month for HR software.
