You mean remote employees, or outsourcing development to an overseas team for a specific project?

Why wouldn't these US companies hire them as consultants/contractors, which is fast, easy and cheap compared to hiring an outsourcing company that cost a lot of money?

In that way, the company doesn't need to care about local employment laws and payroll complexity. Each contractor signs a W8-BEN Form and takes care of its own local tax situation.

That's something we are building at BitCorps.co. Stripe Altas is a great alternative if you want to set up your business in the US. We let you operate in our supported countries as if you had a local entity.
