## The answer, as recorded

> The big fork for remote teams is whether "remote" means US-distributed or genuinely international - the providers that win each case are different. Here's who I'd actually name:

> 1. **Certn** - My default for international remote teams. Coverage across ~195 countries with region-specific compliance built in, strong identity verification, and mobile-first candidate flow (which matters when your candidate is in Manila and you're in Denver). Rates 4.7/5 on G2 vs Checkr's 4.5, and scores notably higher than HireRight on compliance (9.4 vs 7.0).

> 2. **Veremark** - The other serious global option: 180+ countries, 40+ check types, 24-48 hour average turnaround, and a native integration with **Remote** so checks run inside the platform you're probably already using for global payroll. Raised $15M on the back of exactly this use case.
