Spain profile

TCWGlobal is a US contingent workforce management company founded in 2009 as TargetCW by Samer Khouli, who remains founder and CEO, headquartered at 3545 Aero Ct., San Diego. Its core business is third-party payrolling, Employer of Record, managed service provider (MSP) programmes and its StaffingNation vendor management software, mainly for US enterprise clients; it states payrolling coverage in 150+ countries and S&P 500 clients (provider claims).

It does publish a Spain page, offering EOR for a 'contingent workforce' with payroll, benefits and Spanish labour-law compliance, and summarising rules on fixed-term contracts, leave, probation, sick pay, overtime, the two extra salary payments and notice. TCWGlobal does not say who the legal employer is in Spain. The directory found no Spanish company under the TCWGlobal or TargetCW names in einforma searches; the only near match, TCW Ibérica SL, is an unrelated Barcelona hardware retailer. Its partnership page says it works with other EOR providers to extend coverage, so Spanish hires are likely employed by an in-country partner (not verified), whose CIF and ETT authorisation cannot be checked. The Spain page's fixed-term section is out of date: it cites project-based contracts, abolished by the 2021 labour reform, and misstates the extension and substitution limits.

Pricing is quote-based: international quotes itemise salary, employer costs and a 'Support and Compliance Package' and express the total as a mark-up on gross monthly salary. The advertised 18 to 22% mark-up applies to US payrolling, and no Spanish fee, setup fee or deposit is published. G2 shows 4.5/5 from a single review. It suits US-led companies already using TCWGlobal for contingent workers that need one supplier for an occasional Spanish hire.

Spain facts

CompanyTCWGlobal (trading name of the business founded as TargetCW), a US contingent workforce management, payrolling, EOR, MSP and VMS provider; founded 2009; founder and CEO Samer Khouli; Erica Ostberg is Chief Compliance Officer and General Counsel.
Headquarters3545 Aero Ct., San Diego, CA 92123, United States; phone 858.810.3000.
Spanish employing entityNot published. The Spain page says TCWGlobal acts 'as your employer of record' but does not name the Spanish legal employer. einforma searches for 'TCWGLOBAL' and 'TARGETCW' returned no results on 26 October 2026. Unverified: the employing entity in Spain is likely an in-country partner.
CIF / commercial registerNone found for a TCWGlobal entity in Spain. The only close name match, TCW IBERICA SL (CIF B58447434, Calle Balmes 315, Barcelona, incorporated 1 October 1991, CNAE 4752 hardware and building-materials retail, 3 employees per axesor), is unrelated.
ETT authorisationNot verifiable: without a named Spanish employer there is no ETT registration to check. In Spain only an authorised empresa de trabajo temporal (ETT) may supply workers to work under a client's direction (Estatuto de los Trabajadores Article 43 and Ley 14/1994), so the partner's ETT status should be requested. The Spain page does not mention ETT rules.
Delivery modelThe partnership page states that TCWGlobal 'partners with other EOR providers to deliver seamless coverage'. Country hiring guides in the site navigation cover the US, Canada, UK, Australia, New Zealand and Puerto Rico, where its own operations are most visible. Which countries are served through partners is not published.
Spanish addressNone published; no Spanish office is listed.
Spain page contentFixed-term contracts and the 18-in-24-month conversion rule; up to 14 public holidays; 30 calendar days' paid vacation, with unused leave paid out on termination; probation of up to six months for professional roles, two months otherwise and one month for fixed-term contracts of six months or less; sick pay from Social Security at 60% (days 4 to 20) and 75% (from day 21); 40-hour week with 12 hours' daily rest; an 80-hour annual overtime cap; two extra payments in June and December; 15 days' notice for termination and resignation.
Accuracy of Spain pageMostly accurate on leave, probation, overtime and sick pay rates, but the fixed-term section is out of date: it cites contracts for 'completing a specific project', which the 2021 labour reform (Real Decreto-ley 32/2021) abolished; it describes a single six-month extension to 12 months, whereas extension beyond six months requires a sector collective agreement; and it applies a three-month limit to substitution contracts generally, whereas that limit applies only to covering a vacancy during recruitment. It does not mention severance amounts, employer-paid sick days 4 to 15 or mandatory working-time records.
Services statedEmployer of Record, third-party payrolling, staffing and direct hire, benefits, pre-screening, independent contractor compliance audits, MSP programmes and the StaffingNation VMS; payrolling in 150+ countries (provider claim).
Pricing modelQuote-based. International quotes list annual salary, monthly gross, employer costs and a 'TCWGlobal Support and Compliance Package', and express the total as a mark-up percentage on gross monthly salary. Advertised mark-ups of 18 to 22% relate to US third-party payrolling. No Spanish fee published.
Setup, deposit and onboardingNot published. Existing clients request an international quote through a form; after a signed quote and any country addendum, the client completes an International Worker Requisition Form. No Spanish onboarding time is stated.

Services in Spain

Employer of Record (Spain)TCWGlobal offers to act as employer of record for workers in Spain, covering payroll, benefits, tax and Spanish labour-law compliance, while the client sources the worker and directs the work. The Spain page frames the service around a contingent workforce rather than permanent teams. The Spanish legal employer is not named and is likely a partner (unverified), and ETT authorisation is not addressed.
Third-party payrollingIts main product: the client recruits the worker and TCWGlobal takes over payroll, taxes, benefits and compliance as employer. In the US it advertises mark-ups of 18 to 22%; outside the US, payrolling is quoted per country as a total mark-up on gross salary. Spanish payrolling terms are not published.
Staffing and direct hireRecruiters for temporary, temp-to-hire and permanent roles in the US and, by its own account, in 150+ countries. No Spanish recruitment desk or Spanish-language capability is described.
MSP and StaffingNation VMSManaged Service Provider programmes (onsite, offsite or hybrid) and the StaffingNation vendor management platform for onboarding, timekeeping, supplier oversight, KPI dashboards and financial reporting across a contingent workforce programme. This is the strongest part of the offer for enterprises running large contractor programmes.
Audit and contractor complianceIndependent contractor classification reviews, contract legal reviews and IP protection, built mainly around US 1099 rules. Spanish autónomo and false self-employment (falso autónomo) rules are not addressed on the pages reviewed.
Benefits and pre-screeningBenefits administration and pre-screening services for engaged workers. The Spanish benefit package, such as private health insurance or meal vouchers, is not described.

Strengths and watch-outs in Spain

  • ✓ Long-established US workforce business: founded in 2009 by its current CEO Samer Khouli, with a named Chief Compliance Officer and General Counsel and a San Diego headquarters, so the contracting party is an experienced firm rather than a start-up.
  • ✓ Strong for enterprise contingent workforce programmes, combining EOR, third-party payrolling, MSP services and its own StaffingNation VMS under one supplier, which suits companies that want Spanish workers on the same platform and invoice as their US contractors.
  • ✓ The Spain page states several core rules correctly, including 30 calendar days' vacation, the 80-hour overtime cap, sick pay at 60% and 75% from Social Security, probation limits and the 18-in-24-month conversion to permanent status.
  • ✓ Quotes are itemised: international quotes separate gross salary, employer costs and TCWGlobal's support package before showing a total mark-up percentage, so the cost build-up is visible before signing.
  • ✓ Hands-on service is a recurring theme in its marketing and in its only G2 review, which praises its flexibility and help with onboarding, payroll and vendor coordination.
  • ✗ No Spanish entity was found and the Spanish legal employer is not named, so Spanish staff are most likely employed by an undisclosed partner; clients should ask who signs the employment contract, who is registered with the Seguridad Social and the partner's CIF.
  • ✗ ETT authorisation cannot be checked without a named Spanish employer. If workers are supplied to work under the client's direction, the employer must be an authorised ETT to avoid illegal assignment of workers (cesión ilegal), so the partner's ETT registration should be requested.
  • ✗ The Spain page's fixed-term guidance predates the 2021 labour reform, citing abolished project-based contracts and misstating extension and substitution limits, which matters because temporary hiring is the focus of its contingent workforce offer.
  • ✗ No Spanish pricing is published; fees are a custom mark-up on gross salary, and the 18 to 22% mark-up advertised applies to US payrolling, which makes comparison with flat-fee EORs difficult.
  • ✗ Very thin independent review base: G2 shows one review (4.5/5) and no Spain-specific feedback was found.

Poland profile

TCWGlobal is a US contingent workforce management company founded in 2009 as TargetCW by Samer Khouli, who remains founder and CEO, and headquartered at 3545 Aero Ct., San Diego. Its core business is third-party payrolling, Employer of Record, managed service provider (MSP) programmes and its StaffingNation vendor management software, mainly for US enterprise clients; it states payrolling coverage in 150+ countries and S&P 500 clients (provider claims).

It publishes a Poland country page offering EOR for a contingent workforce, with payroll, benefits and Polish Labour Code compliance, and summarises fixed-term rules (three renewals, 33 months), the 18-month cap on temporary-worker contracts, leave, sick pay, notice and a remote-work allowance. The directory found no Polish company in the KRS under the TCWGlobal, TCW Global or TargetCW names, and TCWGlobal does not say who the legal employer is in Poland. Its partnership page says it works with other EOR providers to extend global coverage, so Polish hires are likely employed through an in-country partner; this is not confirmed by the provider and should be asked before signing.

Pricing is quote-based: for international workers its help centre describes a custom quote expressed as a total mark-up percentage applied on top of gross monthly salary, covering employer costs and a 'Support and Compliance Package'. The 18 to 22% mark-up it advertises applies to US payrolling, and no Polish fee is published. G2 lists TCWGlobal at 4.5/5 from a single review. It suits US-led companies that already use TCWGlobal for contingent workers and want one supplier to cover an occasional Polish hire, rather than companies building a Polish team.

Global profile

TCWGlobal is a US contingent workforce management company founded in San Diego in 2009 as TargetCW by Samer Khouli, who remains founder and CEO. Its privacy policy names the contracting company as WMBE Payrolling Inc. dba TCWGlobal. The leadership team includes Erica Ostberg, Chief Compliance Officer and General Counsel, and CFO Ryan Anning. It is privately held and has disclosed no outside funding. A UK company, TargetCW Services Ltd. (Companies House 08679619, incorporated 2013), has Khouli as its sole director and Mark Allen Ziebold of Irvine, California, as its person with significant control.

Its core business is US third-party payrolling, in which clients recruit workers and TCWGlobal becomes the W-2 employer. It also runs managed service provider (MSP) programmes and the StaffingNation vendor management system, and offers EOR in '150+ countries'. It reports 15,000 W-2 employees in 2023 and $490 million in payroll processed in 2025 to date (provider claims). Outside the US the model is mostly partner-based. Its partnership page says it works with other EOR providers to deliver coverage, it does not list owned entities, and country pages do not name the legal employer. Apart from the US company and the UK company above, no foreign TCWGlobal entities were found in the registers searched.

Pricing is by quote. US payrolling is advertised at mark-ups of 18 to 22%. International quotes show salary, employer costs and a 'Support and Compliance Package', expressed as a total mark-up on gross salary. No flat EOR fee, setup fee or deposit is published. G2 shows 4.5/5 from one review and Trustpilot 3.6 from two. It suits US enterprises running contingent-worker programmes that need occasional international hires on the same supplier and invoice. It suits less well companies building permanent teams abroad.

  • ✓ Strong for US enterprises: it combines payrolling, EOR, MSP and its own VMS under one supplier.
  • ✓ International quotes are itemised, showing salary, employer costs and the provider's fee before the total mark-up.
  • ✓ Reports operating at scale in the US (15,000 W-2 employees in 2023, provider claim).
  • ✓ Support is US-based, which reviewers and its marketing mention, and it has won repeated Best Place to Work awards.
  • ✗ International delivery relies on partner EORs, and the legal employer in each country is not named.
  • ✗ There is no flat EOR fee. Percentage mark-ups on salary are hard to compare with flat-fee providers and cost more on high salaries.
  • ✗ Very few independent reviews: one on G2 and two on Trustpilot, one of which is a one-star complaint from a US contract worker.
  • ✗ The offer is designed for US contingent labour rather than permanent international teams, and immigration support is not described.
