• How do I hire and pay EU developers?

  Some options include payment through a system like remote.com, direct payment of the whole gross salary to employee's private account (employee would pay their personal tax - not sure if possible in all countries) or the employee can register a company (usually he/she would be the only employee) and you would do a B2B payment of the gross salary to their business account.

• How hard it is to get an IT job in a foreign country?

  It's essentially more like running a business and less like being an employee. Unless you're hired as an employee through something like remote.com, then you do have a safety net and they have to comply with various stuff. Source: almost 2 years ago
