Global hiring without the entity headache
RemotePeople handles employer of record, payroll, and recruiting across 150+ countries, with entry pricing from $199 per employee monthly and onboarding in about 48 hours. Quotes come through proposals rather than checkout, and contract terms stay unpublished. Overall, a solid pick for teams hiring abroad without building local entities.
RemotePeople is a global employer of record (EOR) provider. Companies use it to hire full-time staff in more than 150 countries without setting up a local entity. Beyond EOR, it offers international recruitment, global payroll, contractor management and Contractor of Record, US PEO services, and company registration.
It fits startups and mid-sized teams that want one partner for recruiting, employing, and paying people across borders.
Best for Startups and mid-sized companies that need to employ people in countries where they have no entity, and want recruiting, payroll, and compliance from one provider..
RemotePeople is a solid fit for companies that want to hire abroad fast without building entities, and that value having recruiting and employment in one place. It is less suited to buyers who want instant self-serve checkout or fully published contract terms. Ask for a country-specific quote and compare it against your current setup before switching.
Pricing trap for Remote People: The $199 per employee, per month figure covers the Employer of Record service only. Recruitment, global payroll, contractor management, and US PEO carry separate starting prices, and country-specific quotes are confirmed by proposal, so bundled requests can cost more than the headline rate suggests.
RemotePeople acts as the legal employer in more than 150 countries, so you can add a full-time hire without registering a local company. You choose the person and manage their daily work. Contracts, payroll, tax filings, and statutory benefits sit with the provider, with benefits benchmarked to the local market rather than one global plan.
You brief the team on the role, city, budget, and must-haves, and in-country recruiters come back with four vetted candidates in about 72 hours. They sit in the candidate's own city and screen by hand, not from a database. When recruitment runs alongside Employer of Record, the same provider onboards the hire you pick.
Requests go in as plain English instead of menus and forms. Experts review high-impact changes before they commit, and compliance records build themselves. You can use it to:
Global Payroll runs across your supported markets, with in-country experts validating tax codes and filings before each cycle. Contractor Management onboards and pays freelancers in 150+ currencies with zero wire fees, keeping invoices and payments in one system. US PEO bundles benefits, payroll, and state compliance for a domestic team.
Accounts get a named manager rather than a ticket queue, backed by HR and legal specialists on call around the clock on weekdays. The company reports ISO 27001, SOC 2, and GDPR certification. Moving from another provider, RemotePeople states it covers up to 12 months of exit fees, which lowers the cost of changing over.
You've found the right person abroad, but you have no local company. RemotePeople becomes their legal employer, handling contracts, payroll, and statutory benefits from $199 per employee, per month.
Expected outcome: A new hire live in about 48 hours.
Tip: Have contracts and employee details ready before you start.
Your team is adding people in three or four countries, and you don't want three or four vendors. One contract covers employment, payroll, and compliance, with a dedicated account manager instead of a support ticket.
Expected outcome: One partner for every country on your list.
Your current provider may cost too much or react slowly, but moving feels risky. RemotePeople states it covers up to 12 months of exit fees, cutting the cost of switching.
Expected outcome: A lower per-employee rate without paying to leave.
Tip: Confirm what the switch offer covers before you commit.
You need a shortlist fast and someone to employ the person you pick. In-country recruiters send four vetted candidates in about 72 hours, priced from 2% of annual salary alongside Employer of Record.
Expected outcome: You pay when you hire, and onboarding starts the same day.

Pricing types: Monthly subscription, Per seat pricing
Remote People offers six global hiring services priced per employee, per month, rather than a flat subscription. Global Payroll starts at $25, Contractor Management at $29, US PEO at $99, and Employer of Record and Contractor of Record both start at $199, while Recruitment is charged from 2% of annual salary.
Remote People costs between $25 and $199 per employee per month, with 6 service lines: Global Payroll from $25/mo, Contractor Management from $29/mo, US PEO from $99/mo, Employer of Record from $199/mo, Contractor of Record from $199/mo, and Recruitment from 2% of annual salary.
Here's a quick walk through each option, so you can match the service to your hiring plan.
Price: From $199 per employee, per month Best For: Companies hiring full-time staff in 150+ countries without opening a local entity Other Features:
This is the core service for teams that want to employ people abroad quickly. You choose the candidate, and Remote People handles the contract, tax, and statutory benefits. It fits growing companies and smaller firms that would rather skip the cost and delay of setting up entities.
Price: From $199 per month Best For: Teams that want someone else to carry contractor misclassification risk Other Features:
Pick this one when you'd rather not police contractor classification yourself. Misclassification penalties can run high, so the added protection is the whole point.
Price: From $99 per employee, per month Best For: US teams that want enterprise-grade benefits through a PEO Other Features:
Choose this if your US headcount is growing and you want strong benefits without building an HR department from scratch.
Price: From $25 per employee, per month Best For: Companies with their own entities that need payroll run across several countries Other Features:
This is the lowest-priced way in. It suits businesses that already employ people locally and simply want payroll run accurately and on time.
Price: From $29 per month Best For: Teams paying freelancers and contractors across borders Other Features:
Good for lean teams paying a handful of contractors who want to avoid bank charges and manual admin.
Price: From 2% of annual salary, with Employer of Record Best For: Employers who want vetted candidates without in-house recruiters Other Features:
Use this when you need shortlists fast and don't want to run sourcing yourself. The fee scales with the salary you hire at, so higher-paid roles cost more.
Every service bills monthly, and prices are quoted per employee, so your total depends on headcount. The higher tiers earn their keep mainly when they replace work you'd otherwise do in-house. If your team is small and you only need payroll, the compliance layers inside the Employer of Record plans may be more than you need. Remote People doesn't publish a free plan or a free trial. If you're moving from another provider, the company says it covers up to 12 months of exit fees, so it's worth confirming how that applies to your current contract before you commit.
