"We previously wrestled with the fine details of taxes across multiple geographies, work permits, benefits administration, and lots more. Remote has eliminated this complexity so we can focus on scaling quickly."
“With out-of-pocket costs being so high in the US, we want to make the experience amazing for the employee, but also painless and more streamlined for the business owner.”
“We are a young, ambitious company and we believe our technology is better than anything else on the market. If we’re to translate that into the best platform for our customers, we need the best talent — irrespective of location.”
“I would say, we really empower people to unfold their potential. I think this is the reason why people decide to stay with us and why we have such a great culture.”
“We were able to operate more efficiently, make quicker decisions, and get people started in new countries so much faster than before. Remote is easier for our people to navigate. It’s very user-friendly, and our employees are much happier since the switch.”
“I felt good with Remote. They understood how quickly we had to scale, and the information was fast and accurate. That’s how the collaboration got started and it took less than two weeks to sign our first employee with Remote.”
“Our contractors are located in different countries, so they need payouts in different currencies, and that was really difficult to figure out before we found Remote. Previously, I looked at various options to pay out, even including using PayPal, but it was just too complex. We wouldn’t have been able to scale as quickly or efficiently as we have done using other providers.”
"The freedom of being a freelancer is more important than anything else for me. I could never go back. Working with a client that uses Remote is more secure as a contractor because of all the checks and compliance from both sides. And everything is so simple: from agreeing the contract, to raising invoices and getting paid in the currency I want, everything is in one place. It's also easy to pull your own records for bookkeeping, which saves me so much time."
"Remote builds loyalty within our employees for their career with us by providing world-class benefits and all the rights that come with being employed locally."
“What really made a difference with Remote was our account manager. He convinced us that we were in good hands, and that we weren’t just a customer. It's a partnership that’s all about enabling the business.”
“As an example, we have people in our teams that work on-call. But there’s different localized legislation around allowances and payment of hours. Remote’s expertise on this was really important in helping us stay compliant.”
"What matters to us is providing a level playing field — do our employees outside the US get the same experience as employees as those in the US."
“With Remote, what caught our eye is the fact that you have your own legal entities in so many countries around the world. A lot of other similar providers that we looked at often just did it through partnerships. I think the growth and traction of Remote probably also speaks for itself and gives a strong indication that you're doing a lot of things right.”
“We talked with Remote on a daily basis to make sure nothing was missed. It would have been impossible to manage that volume of hires internally without their support.”
"When we raised our seed round last year, one of the core questions became: how do we actually grow Swell the right way? It's not going to be a five-person company forever. It's also not going to be a 26-person company either. We know it's going to be much bigger than that."
