Company profile
researched Aug 2026RemoFirst operates a global employment platform that lets companies hire and pay full-time employees and independent contractors in countries where they have no legal entity. Its core service is Employer of Record (EOR): RemoFirst employs the client's international talent on its behalf, covering onboarding, local compliance and administrative work, so the client avoids the time and cost of incorporating a local entity. A separate contractor product handles the setup and payment of international contractors. The company states coverage of more than 185 countries.
The platform bundles international hiring, payroll and global HR functions and is positioned by the company as AI-native. Advertised AI components include a Global Recruiter Agent providing guidance on compliance, compensation, talent availability and purchasing power by market; a Task Manager Agent that surfaces pending HR actions across the platform; and a Payroll Agent that performs payroll reconciliation and error detection across partners, clients and payouts. An additional AI talent-sourcing and screening product, RemoHire, is listed as coming soon. RemoFirst also publishes a public Employer of Record cost calculator that produces country-specific employee cost estimates, described by the company as planning benchmarks rather than final quotes.
Business model
Clients pass candidate details to RemoFirst, which quotes the cost of employing that person in the relevant country and then acts as the legal employer or contractor-payment intermediary, charging for the service. Entry-level EOR pricing is advertised from $199 per month.
Subscription-style per-employee service fees for Employer of Record engagements, starting at $199 per month, alongside contractor management and payroll services.
Latest developments
The company markets an AI-native platform with three live AI agents (Global Recruiter, Task Manager, Payroll) and a fourth product, RemoHire, an AI talent sourcing and screening tool, announced as coming soon.
