Remote

Remote is a global HR platform that helps companies hire, pay, and manage workers anywhere in the world without setting up local entities. Through its owned-entity employer of record (EOR) service, Remote legally employs staff on your behalf in dozens of countries — handling local contracts, payroll, taxes, benefits, and compliance — so you can build distributed teams compliantly and quickly. It also manages international contractors, runs global payroll, and provides HR tooling to administer a worldwide workforce from one place.

The platform covers the full lifecycle of global employment. EOR onboards and employs international hires with locally compliant contracts and benefits; contractor management handles agreements, invoicing, and cross-border payments; and global payroll consolidates paying employees across countries. Remote emphasizes owning its own legal entities (rather than relying on third parties) for better compliance and IP protection, and adds free HR management (HRIS) for direct employees, plus integrations, an API, and expertise on local labor law. It's built for companies scaling internationally who need speed and compliance.

Remote serves startups and enterprises hiring globally. Its HR management (HRIS) tier is free for managing your own employees; contractor management is around $29 per contractor per month; employer of record is a flat fee around $599 per employee per month (billed annually; ~$699 monthly); and global payroll and add-ons are custom-quoted. It competes with Deel, Rippling, Oyster, and Papaya Global, differentiating on owned-entity EOR, compliance focus, and transparent flat-fee pricing.
