RemotePeople

RemotePeople is an international hiring services company whose core offering is Employer of Record (EOR), alongside payroll administration and support for distributed teams. The company lists coverage in more than 150 countries and combines recruiting, employment, payments, and local compliance in one operating relationship. Its headquarters are in New York, from which it coordinates a network of offices and services for businesses hiring beyond their home market.

Under the EOR model, RemotePeople acts as the local legal employer in countries where it provides the service, handling employment contracts, payroll, taxes, and statutory benefits while the client company directs the employee’s day-to-day work. This structure can help a business hire in another market without immediately creating its own entity in every country. The company says availability, the employing entity, and requirements are confirmed based on the country and the specific arrangement.

International recruiting is designed to address needs ranging from individual searches to managed hiring. The site lists international recruitment, candidate shortlists, executive search, RPO, recruiters embedded with a client’s team, contract staffing, and talent mapping. These options serve different stages: mapping a market before opening a role, adding recruiting capacity, or delegating a broader part of the hiring process.

For teams working with independent professionals, RemotePeople also presents Contractor of Record, contractor payments, and administration of obligations tied to that arrangement. The company says it can help with classification, documentation, and international payments, although the applicable steps vary by jurisdiction. Rather than treating every market alike, its offering relies on local infrastructure and expertise so clients can determine how each contract should be structured.

Global payroll and employee benefits extend the hiring lifecycle. From onboarding and formal employment through payment processing, the company aims to bring together work that might otherwise be split among local vendors. It also offers guidance on incorporating entities and building a company’s own operation when a business needs a greater local presence. The specific scope is determined by country and by the team’s structure.

The company’s history began in November 2018, when Antoine Boquen and Pierre Pradier founded it with five colleagues to make international hiring more accessible. Formerly known as Horizons, it adopted the RemotePeople name in February 2026. The company reports serving more than 3,000 businesses and having over 250 professionals across 30 countries; these are corporate figures published by the company itself.

The headquarters are at 85 Broad St in New York, and the company identifies Singapore as its Asia-Pacific headquarters. Its international office directory includes Berlin, Chelmsford, Nijmegen, Madrid, Milan, and other cities; in Madrid it lists Paseo de la Castellana 230, while in Europe it also shows addresses on Skalitzer Str. in Berlin and Corso Europa in Milan. The network pairs local presence with a global platform, and each service should be confirmed for the relevant hiring country.
