Snitcher expands internationally and trebles its workforce with Remote

Snitcher, a B2B visitor identification platform headquartered in the Netherlands, had to move from a small, four-person, locally based team to a global operation. By teaming up with Remote, they removed much of the administrative work involved in international employment and were able to scale across Europe, South America and Southeast Asia.

The challenge: Manual HR processes stalled global growth at $1M ARR

Two years ago, Snitcher was a team of four working out of a basement in the Netherlands. Their HR "system" was a manual Notion document with an unlocked table to track leave days. As the company reached its first $1M in ARR, leadership realised that restricting recruitment to the Netherlands risked slowing their growth.

However, the overhead of creating legal entities in every country where they found great candidates made that approach impractical. "We couldn't keep doing this by hand in Notion," says Stefan Manojlovic, Snitcher's Head of Marketing. "We needed a way to hire those people without the huge overhead of setting up business operations in those countries."

The solution: A seamless bridge to global talent

Snitcher engaged Remote to manage the complexities of employing staff overseas. That allowed them to refocus hiring on calibre rather than location, bringing in a staff engineer from Brazil, business leadership from the UK, sales hires from Serbia and customer success managers from the Philippines.

"Our main reason for choosing Remote was simple: we couldn't confine ourselves to hiring only within the Netherlands when excellent candidates were available elsewhere."

Remote Employer of Record (EOR)

By using Remote's EOR services, Snitcher were able to hire key team members in Serbia, Brazil, the UK and the Philippines. They purposely targeted experienced hires from competitors — people who already knew the market but were based outside the Netherlands.

Remote HR Management

Snitcher also adopted Remote HR Management to centralise oversight of its global team. The platform replaced their manual spreadsheets and allowed their part-time HR manager to handle growth from 4 to 15 people without increasing the time spent on admin.

The impact: Treble growth and localised expertise

The chief effect of the partnership was speed. Key hires moved from interview to contract in as little as two days, enabling Snitcher to treble headcount within 12 months — something Stef says would have been impossible without Remote.

With Remote HR Management managing compliance and administration, Snitcher absorbed a 3.75x expansion in team size without any increase in administrative hours.

"We wouldn't have grown as quickly without hiring through Remote. Every one of these hires has been central to us almost trebling in a year... the ROI of that is infinite."

Stefan Manojlovic, Head of Marketing

Beyond headcount, Snitcher no longer needed to master every local detail for the markets they hired in. Remote ensures local requirements are met, whether it's a market they already know or one they're entering for the first time — and that doesn't change as their footprint grows.

"The peace of mind is probably the best takeaway from using a tool like this... experiencing it from the other side certainly made it straightforward for us."
