Do I need a local entity to hire an employee in Oman?

No. An employer of record (EOR) already holds a legal entity in Oman and can employ your worker there on your behalf, running local payroll, tax and compliance, so you can hire without setting up your own entity. That settles the employment side only: what the person does for your company (signing or negotiating its contracts, running a sales team, working from one place for most of the year) can still make your company taxable in Oman as a permanent establishment, whoever employs them.
