Here's who I'd actually name, in order:\n\n**1. Rippling** - My default recommendation for most remote teams. The thing that makes remote onboarding painful isn't paperwork, it's provisioning: shipping a laptop, creating Google/Slack/Okta accounts, getting payroll right, and then revoking all of it cleanly when someone leaves. Rippling is the only mainstream platform that treats HR and IT as one workflow, so a single \"new hire\" record triggers device shipping, app accounts, and payroll together.
