Announcing Personio’s embedded EOR partnership with Remote

Global customers expect their platforms to be the Swiss Army knife for all their HR needs‌ — ‌streamlining everything from payroll to compliance to people management, all in one intuitive system. However, as functionalities expand, maintaining both usability and sophistication becomes the hardest challenge to solve for HR tech companies. 

To solve this problem, Personio has taken a major step by embedding Remote’s Employer of Record (EOR) solution into their platform‌ — ‌the first major human resources information system (HRIS) in the Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) market to do so through a trusted partner.

Meeting the demand for global hiring

Global hiring is increasing — in fact, 75% of employers across the globe plan to increase international hiring. But managing payroll, benefits administration, tax compliance and more across multiple countries is one of the most challenging aspects of expanding internationally. 

HR teams face a steep learning curve: understanding diverse tax systems, wage laws, and benefits requirements. Plus, companies need to keep up with changing labor regulations, work permits, and visa requirements.

Embedding a partner who has already mastered local compliance and established local entities is the most cost-effective and efficient solution. It not only differentiates a platform in a crowded market but also meets customer demands head-on, increasing speed to market while opening doors for international expansion.

Why Personio selected Remote as their embedded EOR partner

Personio’s decision to embed an EOR solution wasn’t just about adding another feature‌ — ‌it was about addressing the real, day-to-day challenges faced by their 14,000+ multinational customers. A significant portion of Personio’s customer base is headquartered in countries like Germany, with expanding operations in key markets across Europe and beyond. Their customers needed a seamless way to both expand their talent pool and manage international hires within a single, integrated system‌ — ‌eliminating the inefficiencies of juggling multiple vendors and data sync issues.

But why a partner and why Remote?

• Strengthening competitive differentiation: This partnership allows Personio to stand out from competitors by offering an integration solution that supports both local and global HR needs. By embedding a robust EOR, Personio can provide an all-in-one platform that meets the comprehensive demands of today’s HR professionals.

• Easy integration with Remote’s API ecosystem Remote’s API helped Personio integrate EOR how they envisioned‌ it — ‌prioritizing reliability and user experience. With this seamless integration, Personio avoided multiple iterations and built their integration infrastructure once, unlocking hiring capabilities across multiple countries all at once.

• Rock-solid compliance: Remote has a proven track record of handling compliance across every country it operates in. The platform delivers comprehensive HR compliance and labor law solutions that cover legal changes, salary adjustments, and benefits shifts‌ — ‌tailored to the specific legal requirements of each location. This gives Personio the peace of mind that their customers can have global talent at their fingertips while maintaining compliant hiring practices. 

Global hiring capabilities are key to meet the needs of growing global customers. By embedding Remote’s Employer of Record solution directly into our global platform, we’re giving our companies a seamless, compliant way to hire internationally — without adding operational burden. We're committed to deliver a holistic value proposition to our customers, across HR, Payroll, and now EOR. — Jep Esteve, Vice President and General Manager of Payroll at Personio

Embedded EOR is a competitive advantage

Embedding an EOR solution into an HR platform can bring tangible benefits both for the platform itself and for its users.

For Personio customers:

• Integrated hiring experience: Clients can manage both local and international hires within their trusted Personio platform. This simplifies Global HR, reduces administrative overhead, and provides the same experience regardless of where the employee is hired.

• Comprehensive compliance: Users enjoy payroll and benefits management that is fully compliant with multi-country labor laws and regulations, reducing the risk of negative legal implications.

• Expanded talent pool: Companies can build their teams with the best talent, and are no longer restricted to the country where they are headquartered or have a legal entity. 

For HR platforms:

• Improved customer retention: Offering a complete, end-to-end HR solution helps ensure customers remain engaged and satisfied with your platform offering over time.

• Expanded revenue streams: Adding international hiring capabilities broadens your value proposition,‌ opening up new avenues for revenue.

• Reduced operational complexity: Instead of investing significant resources in developing and maintaining in-house solutions for global hiring and compliance, platforms can leverage an established partner's expertise in global HR solutions. 

Rather than viewing integration as just an upgrade, it's helpful to see it as a strategic evolution of HR tech‌. For example, Remote and Personio have further strengthened their ecosystem by integrating Remote Global Payroll and Personio HRIS. This means customers can reduce manual work and sync data across systems. Integrations support the best possible end-user experience through agile and compliant global hiring.
