Global Team

The talent pool you actually want isn't limited to one city.

Your competitors are hiring from wherever they happen to be. You don't have to play by that rule.
RemoFirst lets you hire a designer in Portugal, an engineer in Poland, or a sales lead in the Philippines, all managed the same way, so the best candidate wins the role instead of the closest one.

Local employment expertise, globally.

Learn everything you need to know about the taxes, leave, benefits, and more required to hire employees in the countries we service.

Get global HR off your plate. And hours of your week back.

You didn't start a company to become an amateur expert in
international labor law.
RemoFirst handles contracts, tax filings, benefits enrollment, and compliance monitoring across every country you hire in, so the admin work that would normally eat your Tuesday afternoon just doesn't happen.
Saving Time

Attract great people. And
actually keep them.

A candidate saying yes is only half the job. Keeping them engaged, paid on time, and covered by real benefits is what makes them stay.

Frequently asked questions.

Do I need to set up a legal entity to hire someone in another country?

No. You can use an Employer of Record (EOR) like RemoFirst to legally employ someone on your behalf, so you don’t need to establish your own entity in that country. RemoFirst handles the local employment contract, payroll, benefits, taxes, and other employment requirements. Setting up a foreign entity can take three to six months and cost $20,000 to $150,000, making an EOR a faster and more cost-effective option for many companies.

What is the difference between hiring someone as an international contractor versus an employee, and does RemoFirst support both?

A contractor works independently and typically serves multiple clients, while an employee works exclusively under your direction on an ongoing basis. If someone works full-time, exclusively for your company, most countries legally consider them an employee regardless of what the contract says, and
misclassifying them can lead to fines and legal exposure. RemoFirst supports both paths. We help you compliantly hire and pay international contractors, and we act as the legal Employer of Record for full-time employees, so you can choose the right classification for the relationship and so you can use the right hiring model for each worker.

How much does it cost to hire an international employee through an EOR?

Employer of Record pricing is typically a flat monthly fee per employee, separate from their salary, benefits, and other employment costs. RemoFirst starts at $199 per employee per month, while contractor management starts at $25 per contractor per month, which is significantly less than the cost of establishing a foreign entity for a small number of hires.

How fast can I actually hire someone in another country?

With an Employer of Record, most hires can start within 48 to 72 hours of submitting their details. Timelines can vary by country based on local registration and onboarding requirements, and RemoFirst will let you know upfront if a particular hire is likely to take longer.

Can I convert an international contractor into a full-time employee later?

Yes. Many founders start with a contractor relationship and later convert that person to a full-time employee as the role and company grow. An Employer of Record can handle this transition, including drafting a new compliant employment contract and managing the change in classification, so the worker can smoothly transition to employee status.
