[Global] Remote launches new HR information system

The global employment and payroll platform, Remote, has announced the launch of a new HR information system (HRIS) designed specifically for remote-first teams operating across international borders, HR Brew reports.

The HRIS launch comes as research reveals that an increasing number of companies are seeking overseas hires. Remote’s own 2024 Global Workforce Report found that 71 per cent of employers have “recruited outside their national borders” in the last year. 

The release of Remote HRIS reportedly represents a significant expansion for the global payroll platform, which has been providing EOR and payroll services since 2019.

“It’s literally everything you need to do administration for…the life cycle of an employee,” Job van der Voort - Remote’s cofounder and CEO - said. He highlighted Remote HRIS’s onboarding tools for background checks and verification, contracts and agreements, and device management, its solutions for employees such as managing PTO or public holidays in different countries, time tracking, shift management, and the help it provides with managing employee exits whether they quit, retire, or are fired.

Remote HRIS directly integrates with the company’s current suite and reportedly aims to help HR teams manage their entire employee lifecycle within a single system, regardless of their country of origin. In addition, Remote stated that the platform supports integrations with thousands of additional enterprise platforms.

Mr Van der Voort told HR Brew that Remote had engineered the HRIS to address the unique needs encountered in global employment with country-specific support to navigate labour laws and tax regulations. He said, in doing this, the company is relying on its own global expertise rather than retrofitting an existing US-based system for international use.

“We want to build foundational technology and foundational infrastructure, and infrastructure really is like people, experts, the ability to do payments in a particular country,” he said. “As an employer of record, we had to build the whole stack: payments, payroll, compliance, benefits, everything. It’s a whole lot of other things as well, including - I have on my desk - several different stamps for different countries.”
