Remote is planning to launch a Community Hub for remote-minded leaders in spring of 2022, which will be packed full of resources, discussions, and activities to support global leaders as they navigate the challenges — and joys — of leading a distributed workforce.

We are on the search for strategic Community Partners to build our new community! We want our community to encompass voices and resources from other leading organizations that are supporting remote leaders. We believe that by collaborating with other organizations that are experts in specific topics, we will be able to create the most engaging and resourceful community for remote leaders around the world.

This community will launch using an exciting set of tools that allow for gamification. Members will be able to participate in challenges to earn points, which they can cash in to receive exclusive community rewards. 

Selected partners will have the opportunity to join the community hub and post an educational resource in the form of a challenge, incentivizing members to engage with that resource. In turn, our community partners will also provide a reward on the hub for our members to claim. This new and exciting type of partnership will allow your organization to generate high-quality leads while positioning yourself as a thought leader in the industry.

If you are interested in being a Remote Community Partner, apply today!

Introducing Community Partnerships

The Remote Marketplace is your brand new one-stop-global-growth-shop.

We know that building a globally distributed team demands a world of help. Remote is committed to simplifying the way you hire, pay, and manage your contractors and employees, but the challenge doesn’t stop there. Many of our customers also face hurdles when it comes to international banking, talent sourcing, equity management, remote teaming productivity, and so much more.

That’s why we built the Remote Marketplace in two sections: the Remote Partner Marketplace and the Remote Talent Marketplace. 

This is a high-end boutique of handpicked providers in business categories most challenging for international companies. Our team of global HR experts have carefully curated a selection of the most powerful apps, tools, and service providers to help you supercharge your company’s global growth plans, no matter what you need. 

We’ve taken the hard work out of the research for you so you don’t have to waste weeks on vendor vetting. All of our Marketplace partners have been carefully analyzed and validated to ensure they meet Remote’s highest quality standards, so you can confidently browse our collection to find the specific type of support you need. 

The Remote Marketplace is broken out into two areas to simplify your search: the Remote Partner Marketplace and the Remote Talent Marketplace. Let’s take a look at each section in more detail.

The Partner Marketplace is a collection of the most helpful business services and software partners designed to simplify and supercharge your growth. We’ve selected industry-leading partners to help you with some of the most common and significant challenges of growing a global business:

Improving your employee experience to attract and retain top class talent

Seamlessly connecting all of your HR and business operations system

Automating time-consuming manual workstreams

Building the foundation for global remote-first collaboration 

Maximizing productivity for your globally distributed workforce

How to use the Remote Partner Marketplace

Use the search filters to narrow down your results to discover exactly what you need. You can browse by category, languages supported, region, industry, and more. 

The Remote Partner Marketplace is split out into a shortlist of categories to help you narrow down your search with ease:

Click through any option to view more information about each company and their products, where you will also find the special discounts available to Remote customers. You can even request a demo with partners to speak directly with a salesperson, right from the marketplace.

The Remote Talent Marketplace pulls together best-in-class international talent sourcing firms, recruiting agencies, job boards, and more to help you discover and hire the best candidates from all corners of the globe.

Sourcing the best global talent is one of the most important challenges for any growth-focused business — and the world’s best talent simply doesn’t just congregate in their nearest urban metropolis. The next generation of global leaders and innovators might work from anywhere. 

Instead of confining your search to the Londons, Singapores, New Yorks, and Tokyos of the world, we want to empower you to find the superstars hidden in all pockets of the world. Our team of global HR experts have been working tirelessly to bring you the best talent sourcing firms, recruiting agencies, job boards, executive headhunters, background check platforms, and so much more. 

You can use these talent-focused partners to get the jump on your competition to attract and retain a truly global team of the best talent in your industry.

The Remote Talent Marketplace works much the same way as the Remote Partner Marketplace. You can filter your search by category, candidate type (full-time, contractor, etc.), experience level, skill set, industry, diversity focus, and other options.

Like the Partner Marketplace, the Talent Marketplace is split into a shortlist of categories:

How can your company join the Remote Marketplace?

Introducing Remote’s Partner and Talent Marketplace

"Remote is a great fit to be our first employer of record (EOR) integration because their local infrastructure offers HR teams globally a scalable, affordable, and flexible option with full transparency into the onboarding process." - Shama Madhvani, BambooHR

Automation and accuracy are the keys to stress-free global hiring. Our new integration has you covered on both counts! 

With this new integration, shared customers will be able to securely sync essential new hire information — like their name, start date, job title, and email address — automatically and seamlessly between the BambooHR and Remote platforms. This means increased productivity across your entire HR team and the automation of repetitive tasks (e.g., no more double data entry!)

What will you do with all that extra time? Just think of all those strategic HR initiatives on your wish list that you can finally get to…

Plus, by minimizing manual data entry, the integration also reduces the risk of errors within HR processes that could delay onboarding timelines and jeopardize that must-have hire. This new partnership will help you keep all your employee information accurate and up to date.

With the new integration, customers can look forward to:

Streamlining and accelerating how they build global teams

Automatically syncing new hire profiles into Remote directly from BambooHR’s platform

Saving time and avoiding duplicate tasks across platforms

Faster onboarding times with accurate data

Sounds too good to be free, right? Great news — this integration is 100% free for customers of both BambooHR and Remote!

Set up in less time than it took to read this blog

Looking for an easy button when it comes to setting up the integration? We’ve got you covered. Getting started is simple and doesn’t require any technical skills or coding experience.

Current Remote and BambooHR customers can follow these simple instructions to activate the integration in under 60 seconds. 

If you’re a BambooHR customer but new to Remote, you can learn more about us or request a demo of the integration with our team here.

Once the integration is activated, you can automatically import new employees from BambooHR into your Remote account with just a few clicks! This means faster onboardings and fewer headaches.

Remote was purpose-built for companies of all sizes to help manage their global payroll, benefits, taxes, and compliance with ease. As we continue to grow our platform, we’re excited to partner with HRIS, ATS, and payroll solutions that share our relentless focus on bringing the power of global employment to even more businesses around the world.

Remote joins forces with BambooHR to make global hiring easier for everyone.

Remote Partners with BambooHR

When your HR tools don’t talk to each other, one task can quickly become hundreds. A human resources information system (HRIS) can help streamline things by acting as the single source of truth for employee information, but if your other HR applications don’t connect to your HRIS, it still means hours lost to duplicate data entry.

We get it. Accelerating your global growth is easier when all your tools are connected. Today’s HR leaders need tools that connect the dots on employee data.

That’s why we’re excited to announce our new integration with BambooHR, a leading HR software provider and HRIS. This new partnership will simplify HR management of distributed teams for companies of all sizes.

Joining forces to streamline HR data management

You’re probably familiar with BambooHR’s hiring, onboarding, and Applicant Tracking System (ATS) software — you may have even used it when onboarding at your current company! But if you look deeper, BambooHR brings so much more to HR teams. They’ve built seamless compensation, engagement, and analytics tools that help millions of teams and their employees do great work.

Through this new partnership, two best-of-breeds in HR are joining forces to help companies fuel their growth through connected data and greater access to global talent. Together, we aim to further simplify global employment and empower HR teams with the most innovative tools to meet their needs.

“For companies looking to scale internationally, it’s crucial to empower their HR teams to take action quickly and provide them with integrated tools that drive efficiency,” said Shama Madhvani, Director of Business Development and Strategic Partnerships at BambooHR.

At Remote, we believe honest conversations about mental health in our workplaces are a good thing. This has always been true, but now more than ever in light of the hardships in the workforce and our personal lives due to Covid-19. This is a crucial time for companies everywhere to ensure that their employees feel supported and have access to the care they need.

To this end, we are thrilled to announce our recent partnership with Modern Health! This post will share many of the ways Remote supports mental health and wellness for our 400+ team members globally.

Modern Health is a leading workplace mental health platform providing everything from digital content to a global network of certified coaches and licensed therapists, all in a single app. 

Since September 2021, our people team at Remote has been rolling out new offerings to our employees in dozens of countries across the globe. We selected Modern Health as a partner due to the breadth of their offerings and coverage as well as their ability to provide culturally-centered care. 

Nadia Vatalidis, Remote’s VP of people, was a driving force behind this program. “We evaluated 15 amazing vendors before deciding on Modern Health. We really wanted to explore what was out there, since we had this unique opportunity to prioritize wellness and mental health while the company is still relatively young,” she shared. “Ultimately, there wasn’t another offering that could serve employees in 50+ countries and in different time zones with therapy, coaching, and extras like meditation. Modern Health checked every box for us.” 

Remote employee experiences with Modern Health

Since launching Modern Health, more than 74% of Remote employees have registered. “I'm absolutely blown away by the amount of registrations, I have never seen a signup this large,” says Vatalidis. “The metrics around session attendance have also been insirpring.”

Amanda Rock, an employee on the growth team, says that the therapy sessions have already been transformative for her. “For years I was looking for a therapist specializing in the type of support I need, but I was never able to find one until now. I had actually given up on looking until I signed up for Modern Health. I’m so happy that I’m finally getting the exact kind of help I’ve been looking for my entire life!” 

For Keah Nguyen, a people specialist at Remote, it’s reassuring to know that resources are available to her whenever she needs them. “I feel supported just knowing that Modern Health is there,” she says. “So that if something does come up for me, access to a one-on-one session to talk to a professional is just a few clicks away.”

Beyond offering Modern Health to our internal employees, Remote’s benefits team is exploring future opportunities to offer mental health care and wellness to all employees hired by Remote. As an employer of record helping companies hire employees and contractors globally, our team is constantly expanding the benefits we can offer to create trusting workplaces for all of our customers and their team members around the world. 

“We are thrilled to see companies such as Remote paving the way when it comes to employee wellbeing,” says Lorna Henri, VP of Client Success at Modern Health. “We believe that every employee, wherever they may be working across the globe, should have access to evidence-led mental health support that meets their specific needs.”

Remote and Modern Health share values beyond the belief that employees should have access to mental health and wellness support. Modern Health also believes in the importance of remote and flexible work. In fact, Remote and Modern Health have both been named as best medium-sized companies for remote employees by Quartz. 

As we know, remote work offers numerous benefits to employees, but those benefits also bring unique challenges. According to Nadia Vatalidis, “In a remote environment, it’s so easy to just work around the clock when you’re at home. That’s not going to create wellness for employees or a good employee experience. In fact, it's going to turn into burnout, attrition, and toxicity in the workplace. Remote workers need support to understand boundaries and build a healthy work-life balance.”

How Remote supports our employees' mental wellness

In addition to offering Modern Health’s therapy, coaching, and other services to our employees, Remote has a variety of initiatives to help employees prioritize their mental health and wellness.

One is quarterly self-care days. Each quarter, the whole company takes a day off to recharge and refresh. This is in addition to Remote’s unlimited PTO policy, with 20 days minimum each year, and parental leave policies. 

Our people team is also working on new leadership training. “We are adding more components to our leadership onboarding experience focused on mental health, because it's important that we all speak the same language,” says Vatalidis. “From our executive team to middle managers and people leaders, we all need to work together to make this a people-first and health-first environment. It can be hard to do this in a hyper-growth startup environment, but it just takes a lot of communication and reminders to really get the message across about why everyone needs to take care of themselves first and foremost.” 

And of course, our asynchronous work policy at Remote empowers employees to manage their work responsibilities around their personal lives and wellness — not the other way around. 

Does your organization also offer unique benefits related to mental health and wellness? Share with us on Twitter @Remote to join the conversation!

We are thrilled to announce our recent partnership with Modern Health! This is a crucial time for companies everywhere to ensure that their employees feel supported and have access to the care they need.

Remote is partnering with Greenhouse to make international employment even easier.

Say hello to Greenhouse + Remote

Finding and recruiting the best talent is tough. An applicant tracking system can simplify the process, but HR teams still have to navigate multiple systems to onboard successful candidates. Jumping between tools leads to frustrating data entry errors that can cost you time (not to mention test your patience).

We get it. Scaling your hiring processes is so much easier when your tools all talk to each other! And we know that managing a globally distributed team demands the smoothest possible processes.

That’s why we’re thrilled to announce our new integration with Greenhouse, the industry-leading hiring software company. This new partnership will help simplify global employment from end-to-end for both recruiters and HR teams.

Pairing Remote with Greenhouse for better HR

You likely recognize the Greenhouse name as a market leader in Applicant Tracking System (ATS) software. But after nearly a decade in the industry, Greenhouse is more than an ATS. They’ve built a comprehensive suite of industry-leading hiring products that companies of all sizes use.

Through this new partnership, we’re bringing together two of the best platforms in HR — Greenhouse for recruiting and hiring, and Remote for global employment, payroll, and benefits — to streamline and accelerate global expansion for companies of all sizes.

“Companies are searching for solutions to manage the new challenges of distributed work,” said Garret Starr, Director of Partnerships at Greenhouse. “Being the first ATS integration partner of Remote provides our customers with access to a unique solution that can optimize hiring from anywhere. And when barriers to hiring globally are reduced, it opens doors for a more diverse talent pool.”

By supercharging Greenhouse with Remote, you can eliminate duplicate data entry and onboarding delays. The integration is purpose-built to manage seamless data sharing with time-saving automation. Basically, Remote + Greenhouse = stress-free onboarding for everyone.

Without automation, onboarding new hires requires manual data entry across multiple platforms, painstaking reviews to ensure accurate employee information, and delays due to human error — all of which can jeopardize a critical hire. Through this new integration, mutual customers can effortlessly connect Remote’s global employment solution with Greenhouse to securely sync and view candidate profile information from both accounts.

As part of the integration, our customers can look forward to:

Hiring and onboarding candidates from anywhere in the world, quickly and easily

Syncing updates to candidate profiles in Remote directly from Greenhouse’s platform

Streamlining data management to cut out duplicate tasks

Data security they can trust from two of the top leaders in HR

In short: You’ll get a streamlined process that keeps all employee information accurate and up-to-date. Instead of wasting time on error-prone manual data entry, you can focus on helping new employees and contractors onboard and reach full productivity faster. 

Not a coder? Don’t worry if you’re not familiar with the technical side of your software. The setup process only takes a few minutes, and there’s no coding experience required. 

Getting started is simple. Current Remote and Greenhouse customers can follow these step-by-step instructions to activate the integration. If you’re a Greenhouse customer but new to Remote, you can learn more about the integration and request a demo with our team here.

Easy instructions on how to connect Greenhouse to Remote.

Activate your Greenhouse integration in Remote

Once activated, a new candidate profile imported from Greenhouse is created in Remote. Existing profiles are automatically updated, transferring the candidate’s contact details and other relevant information in just two clicks. This allows recruiters and HR teams to complete the onboarding process without delay or double data entry.

Remote work is the present and future of better working (and stronger companies) across the globe. The shift toward more flexible work models is a trend that will continue. To take advantage of global talent pools, HR leaders will need smart tools that connect with one another so people leaders can connect the dots on employee data.

We chose Greenhouse as our first ATS integration partner because of their strong commitment to helping companies build, expand, and retain qualified and diverse teams around the world. Together, we are on a mission to make global hiring more efficient. This partnership is a step toward simplifying global employment for more businesses and democratizing access to amazing opportunities for talent all over the world.

We created Remote to make it easy for companies of all sizes to manage payroll, benefits, taxes, and compliance for their international teams. We’re excited to partner with other HR, ATS, and payroll solutions to help more businesses access our global employment solutions and make our vision for a more interconnected world a reality.

Remote is thrilled to announce our new integration with Greenhouse, the industry-leading hiring software company. This new partnership will help simplify global employment from end-to-end for both recruiters and HR teams.

Remote Affiliates Program Launch

We are excited to announce the launch of our new Remote Affiliates Program, which now allows Remote advocates to earn commissions by referring new customers. 

We’re calling all HR consultants, accountants, recruiting agencies, industry influencers, and member marketplaces! You know business owners and leaders who want to hire internationally, but they’re getting bogged down by local labor laws and tax issues in different countries. As a Remote affiliate, you can help them scale faster. 

You can help spread the word about Remote to business owners in need and earn generous commissions for your efforts. To start earning money for referrals from your network, visit the Remote Affiliates Program homepage to sign up now.

How does the Remote Affiliates Program work?

The Remote Affiliates Program accepts applications from people and businesses of all sizes. Remember to use your company email address when you sign up!

Once you submit your application, our Remote Affiliates Team will review your information to determine whether you qualify based on a variety of factors, including your company mission, brand alignment, target audience, etc. We pride ourselves on working with individuals and organizations who share our values, which you can read about in our public handbook.

Once you’ve been accepted into the program, you will receive a unique referral link from Remote. Share that link within your network and help spread the word to business owners who could benefit from Remote’s products. Then, you earn a commission of 10-15% for each new customer referral based on the amount of the customer sales generated each month.

This link has a window of 90 days, so even if someone who clicks your link does not sign up right away, you will still receive the commission as long as the signup occurs within 90 days of using your link. Plus, your exclusive link never expires, so you can share it as many times as you want.

Here’s an example of how the process could look:

April 30, 2021 - You submit your application to the Remote Affiliates Program.

May 7, 2021 - Our Remote Affiliates Team finishes its review and approves your application. You gain access to our affiliates portal, powered by PartnerStack, where you can get your exclusive referral link and access to a library of helpful resources.

May 10, 2021 - You post your exclusive referral link on your Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook accounts, as well as email it to a few people you know are hiring internationally.

May 13, 2021 - Five customers click your link and sign up for Remote the same day.

May 20, 2021 - Your five referred customers hire one full-time employee each using Remote’s global employment services.

May 2021 to May 2022 - Your commissions are calculated based on Remote management fees minus any discounts, taxes, and VAT. Your referral payouts happen monthly and continue each month the referred customer is active for up to 12 months.

Best of all, we don’t cap your commissions to one employee. If someone you refer onboards 100 employees through Remote in their first year, you get a commission for all 100 people. Not a bad return for sharing a link!

Why launch the Remote Affiliates Program now?

Over the last few years, we have seen a major shift toward remote work around the world. Alongside that shift, we have seen a democratization of access to opportunity. We want to empower influencers and businesses around the world to connect growing companies and ambitious professionals with the tools they need to turn their visions into reality.

Our mission is to make it easier for businesses and employees around the world to work together. We believe everyone deserves a good job for a good salary, just as we believe businesses of all sizes deserve access to global talent. Opportunity should not be locked away in a few cities or hoarded by a small number of enterprise companies. 

In launching the Remote Affiliates Program, we are taking another step toward building a more connected, more equitable world. We hope you will apply today to share Remote with others, help people forge new connections, and earn great commissions in the process.

You can start earning through the Remote Affiliates Program right away. Submit your application, and our Remote Affiliates Team will review the information and get back to you quickly. If you have any questions, let us know on Twitter or send us an email at affiliates@remote.com.

Thank you for joining us in our mission to make global employment more accessible for all.
