> Here's how I'd actually rank these, depending on what "remote" means for you:
> 
> **1. Rippling** - My default recommendation for most remote teams. It's the only one that handles the part remote onboarding actually breaks on: shipping a laptop, provisioning Google Workspace/Slack/GitHub accounts, and running payroll from the same record. A new hire in another city gets a device at their door and working logins on day one without someone manually chasing IT. Starts around $8/user/month.
> 
> **2. Deel** - The pick if "remote" means "in other countries." It's an EOR plus HRIS, so it handles local contracts, compliance, and multi-currency payroll in ~150 countries. If you're hiring contractors in Brazil and full-timers in Portugal, this removes a legal problem the others don't touch. Overkill if everyone's in the US.
> 
> **3. BambooHR** - Best for small-to-mid US teams who want something managers will actually use. Onboarding templates, e-signature docs, pre-boarding packets, and a clean UI that doesn't need an admin to babysit it. Weaker on IT provisioning and global payroll. Around $10/user/month.
> 
> **4. Sapling (now Kallidus)** - Worth a look specifically at 100-1,000 employees where you nee
