NEW YORK, May 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Remote People, a global Employer of Record (EOR) and HR platform, has been ranked the #1 Employer of Record Services provider in the 2026 edition of People Managing People's "10 Best Employer of Record (EOR) Services" guide. People Managing People (PMP), an HR research and editorial publication for HR leaders, awarded Remote People a 5 out of 5 rating, the highest score on the page, and named it "Best for End-to-End Hiring Compliance."
Why People Managing People Ranked Remote People #1 in Employer of Record Services for 2026
An Employer of Record (EOR) is a third-party organization that legally employs workers on behalf of another company, assuming responsibility for payroll, taxes, benefits, employment contracts, and local labor law compliance in each jurisdiction. People Managing People evaluates EOR providers against a weighted, seven-criteria framework that includes core EOR services, additional standout services, industry experience, customer onboarding, customer support, value for price, and customer reviews. Across these criteria, Remote People earned the highest aggregate score in the 2026 ranking.
In its review, People Managing People highlighted Remote People's "comprehensive global payroll capabilities, ensuring employees are paid accurately and on time across 150+ countries," and called out the platform for managing legal compliance, helping companies stay aligned with local tax regulations and employment laws without setting up foreign entities. PMP also noted Remote People's strength in employee benefits administration and contractor management, including protection against misclassification risks.
In a separate, dedicated review of Remote People published by People Managing People, PMP Executive Editor David Rice awarded the platform a 5 out of 5 score and wrote that "Remote People stands out for its transparent pricing and global compliance, making it a strong choice for businesses seeking a straightforward, reliable employer of record solution." The dedicated review also identifies Remote People as "the only EOR provider offering in-house recruitment alongside compliant employment infrastructure, allowing companies to recruit and hire global talent through one platform," and notes that the company is trusted by more than 3,000 organizations, including Binance, Boeing, Coinbase, Porsche, LVMH, and Bang & Olufsen.
Key factors that contributed to Remote People's #1 ranking include:
- End-to-end hiring compliance across 150+ countries, spanning compliant employment contracts, multi-currency payroll, statutory benefits, work permits, and ongoing local labor law monitoring, recognized by People Managing People with the "Best for End-to-End Hiring Compliance" category title.
- Transparent pricing from $199 per employee per month, described by People Managing People as "transparent pricing with competitive EOR rates."
- A user-friendly platform with strong customer support, explicitly cited by People Managing People as a Remote People strength.
- Employee benefits administration with locally compliant health insurance, retirement plans, and statutory perks worldwide.
- Contractor of Record (COR) and contractor management that, in PMP's words, makes "it easier to hire and pay freelancers while avoiding misclassification risks."
- End-to-end global hiring through a single partner, including international recruitment, EOR, US PEO, global mobility with work visa sponsorship, and company incorporation.
Top of a 10-Vendor Field
People Managing People's 2026 ranking compared 10 leading Employer of Record services, including RemoFirst, Deel, Rippling, Pebl, Borderless AI, Multiplier, G-P, Justworks, and Papaya Global. Remote People was placed at the top of the ranking with a 5 out of 5 rating, the highest aggregate score on the page, and assigned the category title:
"Best for End-to-End Hiring Compliance."
The recognition adds to a growing list of #1 EOR rankings for Remote People in 2026, alongside SelectSoftwareReviews and Outsource Accelerator. Independent analysts and review platforms are converging on Remote People as a leading global employment partner for companies of all sizes hiring internationally.
CEO Statement
"End-to-end hiring compliance is where global expansion quietly succeeds or fails," said Antoine Boquen, CEO of Remote People. "A contract that does not match local labor law in São Paulo, a misclassified contractor in Berlin, a late statutory filing in Singapore, any one of these can unwind a global hiring program faster than the rest of the platform can save it. People Managing People awarding us the top spot for End-to-End Hiring Compliance, with a perfect 5 out of 5 rating, recognizes a long investment we have made in country-by-country expertise across 150+ jurisdictions, covering employment contracts, payroll, statutory benefits, work permits, and ongoing labor law monitoring. Combined with our #1 rankings from SelectSoftwareReviews and Outsource Accelerator, and the trust of more than 3,000 organizations at a 4.8 out of 5 average rating, this confirms that the operational fundamentals are what separate the category leaders from the rest."
