Atlas HXM is a Chicago-based Human Experience Management platform and the original direct Employer of Record (EOR), letting companies hire, pay, and support talent in 160+ countries without setting up local entities. By owning and operating its own legal entities worldwide, Atlas handles payroll, benefits, compliance, and immigration through a single technology platform, onboarding international employees in as little as two weeks.
Jim McCoy is the CEO of Atlas HXM, the company that pioneered the direct Employer of Record model for hiring across 160-plus countries. He took the top job in December 2023 after 14 years at ManpowerGroup, where he scaled the world's largest recruitment process outsourcing business into 56 countries and managed a quarter-million placements a year. He builds for scale while obsessing over the local user experience, borrows ideas from B2C playbooks for a B2B world, and frames the work as democratizing access to economic opportunity.
