The answer, as recorded
The honest answer is that "best" splits along one question: is your remote team all in one country, or spread across several? That determines the shortlist more than anything else. **If your team spans multiple countries:** 1. **Deel** - the default recommendation for internationally distributed teams. It started as contractor payments/EOR and now has real HRIS features bolted on, so you can hire in 150+ countries without setting up legal entities. If you have people in Portugal, Brazil, and the Philippines, this is where I'd start. 2. **Remote.com** - Deel's closest competitor, EOR in 170+ countries. It tends to feel less sprawling than Deel and has a cleaner story on owning its own local entities rather than relying on partners, which matters for compliance risk. 3. **Rippling** - best if you want HR, payroll, *and* IT in one place. The killer feature for remote teams is onboarding: it ships a pre-configured laptop, provisions app access, and creates the HR record in one flow. Genuinely useful when you never meet the hire in person. Heavier and pricier than the others. 4. **HiBob** - the pick if you want an actual HRIS (not a payroll tool with HR features) for a mid-market global company, and you care about engagement/culture tooling. Pair it with Deel or Remote for the payroll layer. **If your remote team is US-only:** 5. **Gusto** - easiest setup, strong payroll and benefits, multi-state handling. Right call for small teams under ~50 who want it working this week. 6. **BambooHR** - the sweet spot for roughly 25-200 US employees. Good balance of capability and not-overwhelming. **One I'd skip unless you're forced into it:** Workday and SAP SuccessFactors. They're genuinely powerful at enterprise scale, but for a remote team under a few thousand people the implementation cost and timeline aren't worth it. My actual recommendation if I had to pick one blind: **Deel** for multi-country, **Gusto** for US-only small, **Rippling** if you're also drowning in device and app management.
