Why it works

The story earns the New Capability tag because the before-state was not merely slow global hiring but the practical inability to do it at all: the HR lead was Googling compliance requirements and had no EOR path. The competitive switch from Paychex is explicit and named, which sharpens the contrast. Efficiency is a clear second type given the payroll-in-minutes detail, but the framing leads with what became possible rather than what got faster.

Steal this

The concrete operational vignette of onboarding and offboarding 40 contractors across four-plus countries in a single project window. It turns an abstract platform promise into a specific, time-bounded stress test that proves scale.
