About Meadow.ai
Meadow AI is a young company based in Spain that enjoys a worldwide talent pool. The startup hires internationally and pays influencers that work on the patform, and so the challenge was to remain a transparent business entity. Operational transparency and compliance are priorities for Meadow AI in line with their plans of future VC investments.
Additionally, the Meadow AI team was looking for a new payment method for their remote freelancers in addition to using a European neobank. Not only was the neobank not potent enough in terms of geographies it covered, but also its transfer wait times were not fast enough.
Having realized these challenges, the startup set out on a quest to find a more tailored solution to meet their unique needs. EasyStaff won the competition thanks to its reasonable commission. Co-founder and CGO Andrew Kolkov explains that how much the platform charges per payment was crucial in the decision. The factor was of equal importance along with compliance and coverage.
Another important quality of EasyStaff that the team of Meadow AI highlights is its customer support. Traditionally, banks require a massive monthly turnover before a personal manager is assigned to a client. With EasyStaff, the team received a personal manager right away. Robust support proved to be an invaluable asset in international freelancer management

Challenges
Andrew shares that EasyStaff helped make the most out of payment methods available to a young European business that they are. Specific, unprecedented payment operations are delegated to EasyStaff. ‘Out of 100% of all payment options we have on the market, we are able to take advantage of 75% of them with EasyStaff', he explains.
It is also pointed out that EasyStaff is a secure way to hire long-term and short-term in compliance with local legal and labor law regulations. Andrew shares that closing documents provided by EasyStaff are accepted by the Spanish tax office which makes their financial operations with contractors from abroad safe.
‘Managing payroll and HR in-house is a strenuous practice for our startup', Andrew says. ‘That's why we were looking for a solution like EasyStaff that would let us focus on core business by lifting the weight of paperwork off of our shoulders. Their experience in international finance and contractor management allows the platform to solve all our payment requests securely and effectively — more effectively than if we took it upon ourselves'.
