How Xevant Runs Global Payroll and Compliance Through an Employer of Record

About Xevant: Healthcare technology company providing pharmacy benefit analytics to help organizations better manage costs and performance.
Industry: Healthcare technology
Headquarters: Lehi, Utah
Partner since: 2022
Challenge: Xevant hired engineering talent in the Philippines to get its development work done more cost-efficiently, and had no legal entity in the market where it hired. It had already worked with other outsourcing and Employer of Record (EOR) providers, and while those partnerships gave it access to talent, there were gaps in how employees were supported and in how closely the providers aligned with Xevant's values.
Results: Xevant can employ specialized talent internationally without building its own employment operation. Its international employees follow the same onboarding, training, mentorship, and 30/60/90-day plans as their U.S. colleagues, and its People team carries none of the employment administration.
Our Solution: An Employer of Record engagement that includes recruitment. Booth sources and places talent against Xevant's technical and cultural criteria, then handles employment administration, payroll, benefits, employee issues, and local employment requirements, while Xevant manages the work.
3
Years
Xevant has partnered with Booth for three years, backed by a 90% retention rate across Booth-supported teams.
Compliance
handled
Xevant doesn't have to manage local employment requirements, payroll, or labor law in the Philippines. Booth handles the employment obligations behind the team.
One team, one experience
Xevant's international employees follow the same onboarding, mentorship, and manager support as their U.S.-based colleagues.
"It was a similar cost to our last employer of record, except you guys just do a much better job of taking care of the employees and making sure that they're put first."
Megan Foster
Director of People Operations, Xevant
The Challenge
Xevant wanted access to specialized talent without having to build the infrastructure to employ it
Xevant is a software company running a pharmacy benefit analytics platform. Its clients use it to manage pharmacy benefit costs and performance, which means the platform has to be built and maintained by people with specific technical skills.
Xevant could have hired those skills in the U.S. It chose to hire in the Philippines because a counterpart got the same development work done at a better cost, and because the technical talent it found worked well alongside its U.S.-based team.
Employing people in another country brought its own set of requirements. Xevant needed a way to pay those employees, provide benefits, manage employment administration, and stay on top of local labor requirements, all without setting up an entity of its own.
Xevant had already worked with other outsourcing and EOR providers. Those partnerships gave it access to talent, but there were still gaps in how employees were supported and in how closely the providers aligned with the company's values.
"With Booth as our partner, we've minimized HR and labor law concerns in the Philippines. Their guidance, from recruitment and payroll to navigating cultural nuances, gives us peace of mind."
— Marvin Elvambuena, Director of Web Development, Xevant
The Solution
Managing the employment side of global hiring
Booth gives Xevant a way to employ international talent without building and managing its own employment infrastructure in another country.
Through Booth's Employer of Record solution, Booth handles the employment administration behind Xevant's global team, including payroll, benefits, employee issues, and local employment requirements.
That gives Xevant a clear division of responsibility. Its team continues to manage the work, the people, and the culture. Booth manages the employment side and hires against Xevant's cultural criteria rather than the technical brief alone.
Hiring that fits Xevant
The partnership started with an intake call to understand the role, the requirements, and the type of candidate Xevant was looking for.
Xevant asked for weekly pipeline meetings to stay close to the process. Booth also adapted its approach to fit Xevant's existing interview process, including the number of interviews and the interview styles.
"You were also open to making tweaks in your process to kind of fit along with our process too, in terms of how many interviews we have, what our interview styles are, those sorts of things."
— Megan Foster, Director of People Operations, Xevant
Employees stay part of the team
Once hired, Xevant's international employees follow the same core employee experience as their U.S.-based colleagues. They go through the same onboarding process, training, mentorship, manager support, and 30/60/90-day plans. Booth handles the employment-specific requirements, while Xevant manages the employee's day-to-day experience within the company.
"Everything else is the exact same process that we follow for U.S.-based employees."
— Megan Foster, Director of People Operations, Xevant
The result is a team that operates as one, even when employees are employed through different structures.
"They're fully integrated into our team. We treat them just like our U.S. employees. They just get paid through Booth."
— Megan Foster, Director of People Operations, Xevant
A partner that takes care of the employment details
For Xevant's People team, having Booth manage the employment administration means there is less to coordinate across payroll, employee issues, and local requirements.
"You guys handle everything, and we're very trusting of Booth. You guys get everything done. Payroll's always good, you take care of employee issues, you manage the employees from an administrative side very well, and that's something that I don't even need to worry about in my role."
— Megan Foster, Director of People Operations, Xevant
That reliability matters because Xevant can focus its People resources on the employee experience and the needs of the business, while Booth takes care of the employment layer.
The Results
Global talent without building the employment infrastructure
With Booth as its EOR partner, Xevant can hire specialized talent internationally and keep those employees fully integrated into the business.
-
Access to specialized talent: Xevant can hire for the skills it needs wherever the right people are.
-
No local entity required: Booth provides the employment infrastructure needed to employ people locally.
-
Less employment administration: Payroll, benefits, employee issues, and local employment requirements are managed through Booth.
-
One employee experience: International employees follow Xevant's onboarding, training, mentorship, and performance processes alongside U.S.-based employees.
-
A partner aligned with Xevant's values: Employee care and cultural alignment were important factors in choosing Booth.
"The culture you guys have over there really shows through in everyone that you have working over there, and it's just really cool to see how your culture just kind of trickles through all your employees. We can see it in everyone I talk to."
— Megan Foster, Director of People Operations, Xevant
What Matters Beyond Payroll
For Xevant, the EOR partnership settled the employment requirements and left the company free to build a team that feels connected to the business. Hiring globally opens access to specialized talent, and employing that talent takes the right infrastructure behind it.
The employee experience behind that infrastructure was a meaningful part of Xevant's decision to work with Booth, and the plainest measure of it is what Xevant has been able to hold on to.
"You guys have allowed us to keep these employees that are very meaningful to us and make a big impact on us."
— Megan Foster, Director of People Operations, Xevant
