How does Teamed handle Mongolian hiring for you?
Teamed becomes your legal employer of record in Mongolia for from $599 per employee per month, with zero FX mark-up in any currency.
Payroll, the contract, and the local employment rules run on one platform.
Real HR and legal experts manage every Mongolian hire, from the first offer letter to the final settlement. An actual person, not a chatbot or a pooled queue, handles your Mongolia team alongside EOR, contractor onboarding, and entity payroll on one platform. There is no setup fee and no exit fee. Employer cost passes through at cost, itemised on every invoice.
A Mongolian contractor who converts to employment keeps their record. That same employee can graduate from EOR to your own Mongolia entity later, without re-onboarding. Run the Crossover Calculator to see the month the model flips. EOR is the right model for a first Mongolia hire, until it isn't.
- You can hire in Mongolia without opening a company there. Setting up a local entity in Ulaanbaatar is slow and ties up cash. Teamed's vetted partner-entity network employs your hire for you, so you can start in days, not months.
- Most of Mongolia's talent sits in one city. Around half the country lives in Ulaanbaatar, and that is where the software, finance, and back-office workforce is. Remote-friendly hiring there opens a young, increasingly English-comfortable talent pool. Teamed runs the payroll in Mongolian tögrög with zero FX mark-up, whatever currency you fund from.
- Mongolia sets its statutory minimums by local law, and they move. Pay, leave, notice, and severance all follow current Mongolian rules. Our team confirms the live figures for your exact role before you sign, so you do not quote a stale number to a candidate.
