RemoFirst is an amazing platform, everything is extremely user friendly and easy to use compared to other tools that I have been using in the past. Inna and the team were on point and replying to my questions in a more than timely manner as well as making our life super easy! Great people and platform, I'll highly recommend it to my network.

EORs can be really, really complex and there is so many different grey areas involved. But working with RemoFirst, they're able to make things clear and concise. It's been a fantastic relationship and they partner really well with all the teams that need to be involved in our hiring process.

RemoFirst enables us to compliantly hire and manage employees in countries where we lack an entity, saving time and costs as we scale Creatio globally. They offered the best pricing among all EORs we considered, and the setup process was smooth despite our many questions. The team has been kind and attentive, and the platform is easy to navigate. We’re excited to have completed our onboarding and to be working with RemoFirst!

RemoFirst ensure to provide an easy and smooth transaction in hiring remote workers across the globe; they will take care of all the nitty gritty part of hiring remote workers without having an entity in a country. They also provide a reasonable pricing that is also appropriate for a startup. What I liked most about RemoFirst is their customer service!

RemoFirst enables me to work remotely and stay compliant in my home country. It’s also very helpful for submitting and managing expenses, making it a great addition to my primary HR platform with its admin features. The platform is simple, intuitive, and easy to navigate, with more than adequate functionality for getting things done efficiently.

We had an entity that was located in a different country that wanted to hire members in the US without affecting the tax status, having RemoFirst help out by being the EOR was the best solution. The setup of the EOR was very easy and we had a dedicated account manger the entire time. Having a dedicated account manager made resolving issues simpler than it would have been otherwise. Nice touch!

I had some details to be clarified with the contract, but the staff was very helpful in helping me sort it out. Also, the laptop delivery arranged by RemoFirst was a breeze! The device arrived the next day!
