VERDICT

Should I use Remote?

Not disclosed - remote.co

Depends. Buy if you're hiring employees or contractors across multiple countries and want a highly rated, well-funded EOR platform. Skip if you hire domestically or only have a couple of overseas hires — per-employee EOR fees and platform weight aren't worth it.

Confidence

Medium. Based on 40+ public sources; review and pricing data solid, product-level security evidence absent. Note: remote.co is Remote's content/job site; the EOR product is remote.com.

Best for

  • Companies hiring full-time employees abroad
  • Teams managing international contractors
  • US firms entering new countries without entities
  • Distributed teams needing global payroll

Not for

  • Domestic-only teams — EOR fees buy you nothing
  • One or two overseas hires — fees dwarf the problem
  • Contractor-only hiring — direct contracts are cheaper
  • Anyone landing on expecting the product
