From Velocity Global to Pebl: Powering the Next Era of Global Hiring

Peb’s CEO, Francoise Brougher

Today, we’re excited to announce that Velocity Global is becoming Pebl.

Why the change? Because the world of HR tech is having its renaissance moment. AI is rewriting the rules, including for EOR (Employer of Record). What was once a tool for a few bold HR pioneers is now the go-to for companies that want to grow fast, smart, and global without the headache of maintaining local entities.

We started this industry 10 years ago. As Velocity Global, we defined the category and earned the trust of thousands of customers. Pebl today equips businesses with the knowledge needed to employ someone in a specific country at the speed of a “keystroke.” We have built on:

  • Simplicity: A consumer-grade experience applied to HR, making global hiring as easy as booking travel online. Our prospects can evaluate markets, see full employee costs up front, and make informed decisions without friction.
  • Purpose-built AI: To accelerate onboarding, improve customer service, provide deep analytics, and power our AI Assistant Alfie. We have an unfair advantage built on 10+ years of data.
  • Instant: Immediate value from day one, with fully loaded quotes and instant onboarding.
  • Hybrid Delivery: The autonomy of self-serve technology with the assurance of expert support on demand, delivering both the speed of modern AI and the trust of human expertise.

So why the name Pebl? Because it’s simple, strong, and built to last. It’s unassuming. It just works. Like our product. Like our team. Pebl represents a new identity grounded in simplicity, reliability, and strength. It's approachable yet enduring.  It’s a foundation, a stacking model, and the start of a journey. Like its namesake, it may seem small, but it can spark actions that amplify a company’s aspirations.

And we’re just getting started. Pebl is the same expert team, now with a smarter engine and a clearer mission: to serve the builders, the doers, and the go-global dreamers, to smartly scale, with precision, reliability, and care.
