Remote
The intelligent infrastructure for global employment
Overview
Remote is an all-in-one global employment platform offering Employer of Record (EOR), international payroll, contractor management, and HR infrastructure. Designed for startups, mid-market companies, and large enterprises, Remote enables organizations to scale global teams without building local entities from scratch. Unlike traditional HR platforms that rely heavily on third-party aggregators, Remote operates its own end-to-end local legal, tax, and payroll infrastructure. The platform unifies payroll processing, contract creation, compliance tracking, IT device management, and localized employee benefits into a single system of record. In addition to global core features, Remote offers developer-friendly options including a REST API, webhooks, and Remote MCP to connect AI agents and workflows directly to live payroll, org structure, and employment data.
Best for: Companies looking to hire, pay, and compliantly manage international employees and contractors without opening local entities.
