This gave Newtech an offshore delivery team without the cost and complexity of establishing local entities. RemotePeople delivered candidates who integrated with the existing team and maintained strong communication across time zones. The engagement established an offshore engineering team spanning two countries and supported Newtech's internal systems roadmap.

BWS Consulting Group, a Germany-based IT consulting and software development firm serving clients across Europe, faced urgent project demand that required software developers at short notice.

SourceReady, an AI-powered product sourcing platform that helps businesses discover verified suppliers and streamline procurement, was growing faster than it could hire. As a lean startup, the team could not absorb the months and the legal, financial, and operational overhead required to establish legal entities in each target country. It needed to navigate international employment compliance across multiple jurisdictions and onboard remote employees quickly without adding administrative burden to a small internal team. SourceReady partnered with RemotePeople as its Employer of Record, gaining immediate access to compliant employment infrastructure across 180+ countries with no entity setup. RemotePeople took ownership of locally compliant contracts tailored to each jurisdiction, end-to-end payroll and in-country tax obligations, ongoing labour-law compliance, and structured onboarding. This freed SourceReady's team to focus on finding the right people and putting them to work. With RemotePeople managing employment in the background, SourceReady onboarded new hires in an average of 24 hours and maintained a 100% compliance guarantee across every jurisdiction. Hiring and onboarding became significantly faster, payroll and compliance processes were streamlined, and operational and legal complexity dropped sharply. The result was greater flexibility to build and adapt a global remote team and more internal bandwidth for product development and growth.

Silversea, a global shipping container provider, initially struggled to establish an effective presence in Asia. Their first attempt at an Employer of Record (EOR) in Shanghai for their initial employee in 2019 proved unscalable and provided an unsatisfactory experience over two years, marked by payroll issues and unresponsive support. Facing a planned major expansion in China and beyond, Silversea prioritized employee satisfaction and sought a new EOR that could offer reliable, high-quality service with a human touch. A new Global People Manager identified the critical need to switch EOR providers, leading Silversea to RemotePeople. RemotePeople offered a comprehensive suite of HR services, including executive-search recruitment, beyond just payroll and compliance. Leveraging RemotePeople’s professional China-based recruitment team, Silversea successfully hired their second employee, benefiting from smooth payroll, responsive account managers, and additional services like office space and a welcoming environment. RemotePeople’s recruitment expertise led to a significantly faster and higher-quality hiring process, with the new team member onboarded much sooner than expected. Within six months of partnering with RemotePeople, Silversea successfully expanded its Shanghai office, hiring three more team members and scaling their local operations from two to five employees. The company now plans further hires in China and other regions, appreciating RemotePeople’s transparent platform, dedicated account managers, and strong employee care, which has resulted in higher employee satisfaction.

Real Essentials, an apparel brand with distributed production across multiple international hubs, faced significant challenges in maintaining consistent quality control. A QC standard set in the US headquarters meant little without enforcement on the ground in each manufacturing country. The company required Quality Inspectors in China, India, and Egypt, each with distinct local labor norms and supplier relationships. The primary challenge was finding candidates with both technical expertise and cultural fluency to operate effectively in their local environment. This was crucial to ensure brand quality expectations were met consistently across all three markets. Real Essentials possessed no in-country contacts or local employment knowledge across any of the three target markets. Establishing this internal hiring capability three times over would have significantly prolonged the process, exceeding the production cycle the team aimed to protect. RemotePeople stepped in to provide comprehensive recruitment and Employer of Record (EOR) services across China, India, and Egypt. This solution efficiently consolidated the entire operational process, encompassing sourcing, vetting, hiring, employment, and onboarding, into a single, manageable engagement. The recruitment process was precisely calibrated to identify candidates capable of operating effectively in their local environments while strictly adhering to Real Essentials’ quality standards. This crucial dual screening, emphasizing both local fluency and brand alignment, successfully enabled the distributed QC function. Furthermore, the Employer of Record (EOR) component efficiently managed all employment legal complexities within each country. This ensured that QC inspectors were rapidly integrated onto payroll, protecting critical production timelines by allowing them to begin inspecting product without delay.

MyTreasur-e, a SaaS company specializing in treasury and cash management, faced the challenge of international expansion. To support their growing customer base, they needed to hire specialist talent across three different markets: the Philippines, the United Kingdom, and South Africa. This required specific technical SaaS support skills, enterprise treasury sales fluency, and account management expertise for each region.

This presented a significant challenge for a growth-focused SaaS company. To overcome these challenges, MyTreasur-e partnered with RemotePeople, leveraging their Employer of Record (EOR) services across all three target countries. This partnership entirely eliminated the need for MyTreasur-e to establish new local entities in the Philippines, UK, and South Africa. Through this solution, the company was able to compliantly hire talent in each jurisdiction without the administrative burden of in-house legal, payroll, and tax management.

Ingenium Trading, a high-performance tech firm in global financial services, faced limitations in scaling its engineering team by only recruiting from a single labor market. To grow its team and cultivate future senior talent, it needed to hire promising early-career C++ Software Engineers, DevOps Engineers, and an Infrastructure Team Lead, requiring rigorous technical and cultural screening.
