How Skuad helped Rainforest hire and pay contractors compliantly.

With their team of marketers, builders and product innovators, their mission is to build best-in-class DTC e-commerce brands consumers can trust, particularly in the home and mom and baby space.

Background

Rainforest, a fast growing e-commerce aggregator and brand builder, was looking to onboard contractors across the world in 2021. Their biggest challenges, when employing contractors in a compliant manner, were addressing misclassification and handling contractor payments in multiple currencies.

We wanted to hire and onboard contractors globally, following local compliances but faced challenges around misclassification and payments.

Skuad’s Solution

With its contractor solution, Skuad ensured Rainforest could onboard contractors with proper classification and agreements. We also enabled them to make and manage global payments efficiently.
