## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-09 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in the order I'd consider them:
> 
> **1. Rippling** - My default pick for most remote teams. The differentiator is that it handles IT provisioning alongside HR: ordering and shipping a laptop, creating accounts in Google Workspace/Slack/GitHub, and setting permissions all fire off the same "new hire" record. That's exactly the part of remote onboarding that usually breaks, and it deprovisions on offboarding too. Deepest HRIS coverage of the three big ones (recruiting through performance and LMS).
> 
> **2. Deel** - The answer if you're hiring across borders. Employer of Record coverage in 100+ countries, contractor and full-time support, and it absorbs the compliance/payroll mess that otherwise makes each new country a legal project. Onboarding flows can run in Slack. Pricier, but the alternative is entity setup or risk.
> 
> **3. BambooHR** - Best for teams under ~100 people that want something people will actually use. Pre-boarding packets, built-in e-sign, templated workflows, automated nudges. Weaker on the IT/device side than Rippling, but it's the least painful to roll out and needs almost no training.
> 
> **4. Gusto** - If you're a US-only small
