VerifiedHR & People · remote.com
Overview
Remote is a global HR platform that lets companies hire, pay, and manage full-time employees and contractors in 90+ countries without setting up local legal entities. Its core products are Employer of Record (EOR), Global Payroll, and Contractor Management, all wrapped with localized compliance, benefits, and tax handling. Founded in 2019 by former GitLab and Unbabel leaders, it operates as a fully distributed company. The platform centralizes onboarding, payroll, compliance documents, and benefits administration in a single dashboard and integrates with common HR, accounting, and ATS tools.
The problem Remote solves
Companies that want to hire talent in other countries normally have to establish local legal entities and navigate each country's payroll, tax, and employment law, which is slow, costly, and legally risky. Remote solves this by acting as the employer of record and running compliant local payroll and benefits, so HR teams can onboard international employees and contractors quickly from one platform. It is most relevant to distributed, remote-first, and scaling companies hiring across borders, and less suited to very small budgets where per-employee cost is a concern.
