Remote

Remote is a global human resources technology company founded in 2019 by Job van der Voort and Marcelo Lebre. Headquartered in San Francisco, it operates a fully remote workforce spanning more than 100 countries. The company’s mission is to create opportunity everywhere by enabling businesses to hire, manage, and pay talent around the world while offering individuals the freedom to work from anywhere.

Remote began as an Employer of Record (EOR) service, helping companies employ full-time staff in countries where they do not have a legal presence. Through its infrastructure, Remote manages payroll, taxes, benefits, and compliance on behalf of client businesses. This allows companies to expand globally without needing to navigate complex international labor laws on their own.

Over time, Remote has evolved into a full-service Global HR Platform. It now includes tools for managing both full-time employees and international contractors. Its contractor management system offers automated onboarding, localized contracts, invoicing, payments, and ensures compliance with local labor regulations.

The platform also features a proprietary global payroll engine built in-house. It supports payroll processing, tax filings, and benefits administration in over 100 countries, helping companies run accurate and timely payroll while meeting local compliance requirements. The engine uses automation and advanced systems to reduce errors and streamline processes.
