Remote

Global HR platform with EOR services

Overview

Remote provides a global HR technology platform that helps companies hire, manage, and pay workers in multiple countries. Its main offering is an Employer of Record (EOR), where Remote becomes the legal employer in countries where the client has no local entity and handles contracts, payroll, taxes, benefits, and terminations through its own local entities; it also supports contractor management and offers a basic free HRIS and Global Payroll for clients with existing entities. The company differentiates itself by operating fully remotely and leveraging the founders’ experience scaling all-remote organizations, plus growth through acquisitions like Easop to expand its global compliance footprint. Its goal is to make international employment simple, secure, and compliant so teams can work across borders without creating local entities.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • May 14, 2026: Remote hit $300 million ARR and turned cash-flow positive.
  • June 2026 isolved partnership exposes Remote to 200,000+ US employers.
  • April 2026 Bravas acquisition expands Remote into IT identity, devices, and onboarding.

What critics are saying

  • Deel’s $1.4 billion ARR dwarfs Remote’s $300 million, pressuring pricing and share.
  • Remote’s partner-led growth inside Workday, BambooHR, and isolved weakens direct customer ownership.
  • If compliance failure hits one entity, regulators can freeze operations and destroy trust.

What makes Remote unique

  • Remote owns 100+ legal entities, reducing third-party compliance risk across jurisdictions.
  • Remote embedded inside isolved People Cloud on June 25, 2026, broadening distribution.
  • Remote’s $29 contractor pricing undercuts Deel and strengthens midmarket adoption.

Remote partners with isolved to unlock compliant global hiring for 200,000+ US employers.

Remote partners with isolved to unlock compliant global hiring for 200,000+ US employers. Embedded directly in isolved People Cloud, Remote's Employer of Record will enable international expansion by eliminating the complexity that slows growth SAN FRANCISCO, June 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Remote, the global payroll and employment infrastructure company, today announced its partnership with isolved(R), a provider of human capital management (HCM) solutions that help organizations recruit, retain and elevate their workforce. Through this partnership, isolved will launch an Employer of Record offering, powered by Remote directly within isolved People Cloud(TM). This will enable its network of 200,000+ customers to hire, manage, and pay international employees without local entity setup, manual compliance work, or fragmentation across multiple systems. Businesses expanding across borders often must juggle fragmented data and disconnected workflows across multiple systems to hire and pay their international teams. This can create bottlenecks that slow hiring, increase operational overhead, and drain resources. As organizations increasingly compete for global talent, the ability to hire and scale internationally has become critical to growth, yet the operational reality of international employment remains unnecessarily complex. Through this partnership, isolved customers can hire and pay international employees directly from their HCM platform. Remote handles the operational complexity - entity setup, ongoing compliance management, local regulations, and payroll - eliminating the need to switch systems or manage legal requirements across jurisdictions. This means companies can respond to global market opportunities without the operational friction that usually slows international expansion. "Global business expansion demands a choice most companies should not have to make: keep their trusted HR platform or gain world-class compliance and hiring infrastructure," said Pim Altena, General Manager, Remote Embedded and Vice President, Technology Partnerships at Remote. "We're excited to partner with isolved as together, we're eliminating that choice. isolved customers can now get both: employment infrastructure embedded directly in their platform, delivering global hiring and compliance without switching, compromise, or complexity." "Our customers want to expand globally, but the operational reality of doing so has held them back. Our partnership with Remote solves that," said Barry Gauch, Executive Vice President of Marketplace and Benefits of isolved. "Upon completion of the integration later this year this will be bringing Remote's Employer of Record directly into isolved People Cloud, we're removing the technical and compliance barriers that have made international hiring unnecessarily difficult. It's about giving our customers the tools to execute their growth plans." About Remote: Remote is the intelligent infrastructure for employing and paying people everywhere. Trusted by tens of thousands of companies worldwide, Remote handles the compliance, payments, and legal complexity of global employment country by country, from Employer of Record and Global Payroll to PEO and Contractor Management. Open and programmable, Remote's infrastructure supports any tool, agent, or workflow a company chooses to build on top of it. Learn more at www.remote.com. About isolved(R): isolved(R) is a Workforce Capital Management company - the next evolution of HCM, where human workers and AI agents are governed together on a single system of record, with the same visibility, accountability and lifecycle management. isolved People Cloud(TM) is a connected platform of action that brings together HR, payroll, benefits, workforce management and talent management, with practical AI built to own outcomes: catching payroll errors before they happen, guiding employees through benefits enrollment, and surfacing compliance risks before they become problems.

Pebl reshapes leadership team for next stage of growth.

Pebl reshapes leadership team for next stage of growth. Former Remote executive Patrick McKelvie joins Pebl as CRO amid broader leadership realignment across revenue, operations, and people. As demand grows for faster, more flexible global hiring solutions, Pebl, the AI-first global employment platform, is evolving its leadership structure to create tighter alignment across revenue, operations, legal, and people teams. As part of the transition, Pebl Founder Ben Wright will step away from day-to-day operational responsibilities at the end of May and return full-time to his role as Chairman, where he will remain actively involved in the company's long-term strategy and growth. Wright returned to Pebl in 2025 to help guide a critical transformation period across the business and Go-to-Market organization. During that time, he helped strengthen the company's revenue organization, sharpen execution following a rebrand, and support the recruitment of Pebl's next generation of leadership. The company entered 2026 with strong momentum, delivering 40% growth during the first quarter. "Ben stepped back into the business at an important moment for Pebl and helped bring focus, structure, and momentum across the organization," said Pebl CEO Francoise Brougher. "His leadership helped strengthen our go-to-market organization, recruit exceptional leaders, and position the company for its next stage of growth. We're grateful for his partnership and excited to build on that foundation as we enter this next chapter." Pebl also announced the appointment of Patrick McKelvie as Chief Revenue Officer. McKelvie, who previously held senior leadership roles at Remote, will lead the company's Sales and Partnerships organization as Pebl continues building a more disciplined and integrated Go-to-Market organization. McKelvie's appointment underscores Pebl's growing momentum and its ability to attract experienced leadership from across the global HR and technology market. "What stood out to me about Pebl is that the company understands where the global hiring market is headed and what employers need next," said Patrick McKelvie. "There's a strong foundation here and a real opportunity to help drive the next chapter of the category." The company also announced that Dutta Satadip is expanding his responsibilities and will take on the role of Chief Business Officer, bringing Operations and Go-to-Market functions closer together under a more unified structure built around the full customer lifecycle. In addition, Shawn McIntire will assume the expanded role of Chief Legal and People Officer, aligning legal, compliance, and people operations as Pebl continues to expand its global employment platform. The leadership changes come as companies increasingly look for faster, more technology-driven ways to hire, manage, and support talent across borders.
