The employee would be employed by the EoR on paper. Hence employer _of record_. But otherwise acts as a normal employee of the actual employer. > And how is the situation when the employees come in from time to time (commuting across bor

Generally: no. There are cases and/or ways where you can e.g. hire someone under a local contract without owning a local entity, but that doesn't scale much beyond that, and you'd still need to run local payroll somehow, and

If you hire someone in another country, you (employer) must fully comply with local labor laws, tax requirements, run payroll and pay any local dues in local currency. This is only solved by either setting up a local office and hire local e

Can you email me with the needs? I'm sure we can work something out. I don't think the tax accountant is able to be a local liable employer, like we are.

We tend to be the most affordable employer of record with quite some margin. Paying contractors is free through us.

FWIW we [0] employ a lot of people in the EU working remotely and a large part of them earns SF/NY salaries. Probably a strong selection bias to the types of companies that choose to work with us. [0]: I'm the CEO of remote.com

Fair question, and I think yes! If you mainly do your meetings remotely (which I do), you want your interactions to be as high-bandwidth as possible. There is value, and data, in real world interactions that is lost quickly in video calls.

It makes no sense. I use a $100 Logitech Webcam and _regularly_ get comments about how sharp and clear the video is, using Zoom. There's value in a better camera, even in laptops.

We're working on something at Remote. While working at GitLab, I saw the issues they were having, so we're building an alternative to CXC and Safeguard. Launching a little launch page later today, but feel free to email me if you&

I visited CERN once in my role at GitLab. The scale of CERN and the level of people there is really impressive. Many teams had implemented very complicated pipelines doing all sorts of things. Including using GitLab to design, validate and

I think any company should pay for equipment for their employees. GitLab does this, we will do this. Desk, monitor, computer, chair, etc. Alternatively, offer a budget for a coworking space. These kind of expenses are nothing compared to a

When you're working remotely, you have to actively, consciously make an effort to bond, connect with your colleagues. Think regular hangouts where you just have casual chats, casual 1:1 conversations and -if possible- semi-regular meet

Thanks - goal is not to build a job board. Goal is to move remote working forward. A job board is an obvious start if done well (note: we have a long way to go, right now). Hiring from anywhere is amazing, but there are many challenges in p

Thanks - good idea. My plan is to make that kind of content available on Remote.com and not just in a book.

We should be much more transparent about this, you're right. We're going to split this up between your profile and your contacts, and make it explicit what happens.

This looks cool. Looking forward to give it a try. For years I've been using Deckset[0] for all my presentations. Being able to just edit a text file to write and update slides is a massive advantage. I usually export them as pdf, whi

Most people speak English, but are uncomfortable / inexperienced in doing so. Everyone in tech speaks English just fine. For day-to-day, it does make your life much easier. Surprisingly, banks are a pain to deal with, without speaking

To be more precise, we support any static site generator, as we will serve any static content that you make available. So you can even use GitLab pages to e.g. display and easily share test output, documentation, or anything else. See: htt
