ESG Solutions builds a global technical workforce across Asia-Pacific with a lean HR team

The challenge: building a specialized global technical workforce without the infrastructure of a much larger company

Microseismic monitoring doesn't pause. ESG Solutions' clients operate around the clock in some of the world's most demanding environments — and delivering on that work requires not just the right technology, but the right people, in the right markets.

For ESG Solutions, that meant making a strategic decision: build a distributed technical delivery model anchored in Asia-Pacific, where deep pools of geophysical talent and favorable time zone coverage could support 24/7 monitoring operations for clients worldwide.

Hiring geophysical analysts, seismic engineers, and field technicians across multiple countries simultaneously was beyond what a lean HR team could manage alone. For Senior HR Generalist Csilla Lasso, who had spent over 10 years building ESG Solutions' people operations from the ground up, the question wasn't whether to build globally, it was how.

The solution: G-P EOR as the infrastructure behind a deliberate global talent strategy

Referred to G-P by ADP, Csilla found an employer of record (EOR) platform that could match the scale and specialization of what ESG Solutions was trying to build.

With G-P EOR, ESG Solutions could hire compliantly across Australia, India, Indonesia, China, and Peru — without establishing a single legal entity in any of them. Payroll, benefits, compliance, and local employment law in each market were handled within the platform, freeing Csilla to focus on finding and onboarding the right people.

The impact: 32 specialists across 5 countries

The result was a deliberately architected global workforce: a high-volume data processing and geophysical analysis hub split across India and Indonesia, field operations distributed across project markets, and regional leadership embedded in key markets to anchor client relationships and drive growth.
