Who does Remote help?
Remote fits companies hiring outside the US, whether they have a local entity or not, and companies that want contractor management with compliance screening built in.
How do they work?
For countries where you have no entity, Remote's employer of record employs the worker legally and handles local payroll, tax, and statutory benefits. Where you already have an entity, its global payroll product runs payroll in-country. Contractor management and contractor of record cover independent contractors. Remote states that it owns its entities in the countries it operates in rather than relying on third parties — worth verifying against your specific countries during diligence.
About the firm
Remote is one of a small number of global employment platforms that publishes its full rate card, which makes it useful as a benchmark when evaluating custom-quoted providers.

Where does Remote work?
Is this likely to be a fit?
Good fit when…
- You are hiring in countries where you have no entity.
- You want a published rate card instead of a custom quote.
- You manage both employees and contractors across borders.
- You need US PEO or payroll alongside global coverage.
Probably not when…
- You only hire within one US state and want a traditional domestic PEO.
- You need co-employment for deep US benefits consolidation at scale.
