I would like to second this recommendation. We’ve been using remote.com and hiring internationally suddenly became very possible and we can’t be any more happy.

Before this hiring internationally was a pure nightmare to the point that we simply didn’t accept international remote developers.

Thanks Remote!

And how has that shell set-up been for your international team members?

In my experience, it added just enough of a layer of obscuration to perpetuate a caste system, similar to how full time temps and vendors are currently treated in tech. US FTE employees had full HR support while Indian subcontractors had really poor HR/payroll/benefits resources from Remote. YMMV

Maybe you can compensate with higher pay?

As someone currently working on the employee side of a remote.com setup, it’s been great.

They have a much better understanding of my local laws, tax systems etc than the US-based HR and Payroll departments at companies I’ve worked for in the past.

Hi , how do you get hired via Remote ? All I can see is services to hire for employers.

You get hired by a company that uses Remote (or Deel).

Or Pilot.co

Remote isn't a hiring platform, it's a service companies can use to manage HR compliance. You get hired by the company, and your employment goes through Remote for compliance with local laws.

Blame the employer, not remote.com. The employer decides what benefits they will pay remote.com to give to employees
