Our Story

Workforce management, built by people who've lived the chaos.

Zyltex was founded to give growing companies one trusted partner for payroll, HR, recruitment and operations — wherever their people are.

🎯

Our Mission

To make hiring and managing a global team as simple as hiring locally — without the legal risk, spreadsheets or guesswork.

🌍

Our Vision

A world where any company, anywhere, can build its best team without borders limiting who they can hire.

Zyltex founding team
The founding story

We started Zyltex to fix a broken back office.

After years running payroll and HR across a patchwork of local vendors, our founders built the platform they wished existed — one home for global payroll, employer of record, recruitment and operations.

Today Zyltex serves accountants, HR teams, operations managers and founders across 150+ countries — from startups running their first international hire to enterprises with thousands of distributed employees.

What makes us different

Four things we don't compromise on.

01

Local compliance experts

Real in-market specialists — not just software — reviewing every country you operate in.

02

Transparent pricing

No hidden fees buried in a contract. You see exactly what you pay before you sign.

03

Dedicated account teams

One team that knows your business, every time you call. Not a ticket queue.

04

Built to scale with you

From 5 employees to 5,000 — the same platform handles it all.
