A lot has changed since Multiplier launched in 2020.

As remote work took off, so did the demand for global hiring and Multiplier quickly jumped in to meet that need. While they’ve helped many companies think globally, many customers have experienced onboarding delays, inconsistent local expertise, and unreliable support that’s hit or miss.

That’s why we built RemoFirst in 2021 with a clear mission: fix the friction and affordability in the Employer of Record (EOR) space. That means local compliance that's actually local, faster onboarding, and support that actually supports.

We believe scaling your international talent pool shouldn’t mean sacrificing clarity, affordability, or peace of mind. Discover why we are the best alternative to Multiplier below.
