RemotePeople

RemotePeople (formerly Horizons) was founded in November 2018 by Antoine and Pierre together with five teammates. They shared a vision of enabling professionals to work for their ideal companies from anywhere in the world.

The company was created to support the growing demand for global and flexible work opportunities. They set out to address the increasing complexity businesses face when hiring talent across borders.

Traditionally, organizations needed to establish legal entities in every country where they wanted to hire employees. This process was costly, time-consuming, and difficult for many companies to scale.

RemotePeople developed a platform designed to remove these barriers for international hiring. It enables organizations to recruit and manage global talent without navigating complex legal requirements alone. This approach simplifies workforce expansion across multiple countries.

Through its platform, RemotePeople provides a full-lifecycle solution for global recruitment and employment. It also supports company incorporation for businesses expanding into new markets. The platform manages compliance, payroll, and legal administration across countries.

At its core, the company’s mission is to build the infrastructure for a borderless workforce. By making international hiring as seamless as local hiring, it helps companies access global talent. This allows organizations to grow internationally while maintaining compliance and efficiency.

RemotePeople provides outsourcing and global hiring solutions that enable businesses to build and scale teams in more than 150 countries. The company has grown to over 250 professionals working remotely and across offices in 30 countries.

Supporting organizations with specialized expertise across more than 20 industries, each client is assigned a dedicated account manager to ensure consistent and personalized support.

RemotePeople prioritizes investment in compliance infrastructure and global employment systems. Its vision is to become the core infrastructure for companies building international teams, from their first global hire to a fully operational entity in new markets.

Unlike many Employer of Record providers that focus primarily on employment administration, RemotePeople begins with recruitment. The company sources and evaluates candidates worldwide, then seamlessly onboards them through its platform. 

This approach allows businesses to manage recruitment, employment, and payroll through a single partner.
