Command Center moves AI in global employment from advice to execution. Nine operational actions ship at launch, from salary changes to terminations to multi-country onboarding, completed in plain language across 180+ countries, in any language.

NEW YORK, June 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Remote People, the global Employer of Record (EOR) and HR platform named Best EOR for 2026 by G2, People Managing People, SelectSoftwareReviews, and Outsource Accelerator, today launched Command Center, the first AI assistant built to complete global hiring, payroll, and HR work, not just advise on it. Where most AI launches in the EOR category have introduced advisory chatbots and recommendation engines, Command Center ships nine end-to-end operational actions at launch, including salary changes, terminations with jurisdiction-specific legal pathways, contract amendments, and full EOR or contractor onboarding across 180+ countries.

From AI That Advises to AI That Executes

Most recent AI launches in global employment have focused on advisory experiences: chatbots that answer compliance questions, recommendation engines that suggest where to hire, cost calculators that estimate compensation, or task summarizers that surface what is overdue. These are useful tools. But they leave the actual operational work, the salary changes, terminations, onboarding flows, and contract amendments that make up the day-to-day of running a distributed team, to be done the old way, through forms and tickets.

Command Center takes a different approach. It is built to complete those actions, not advise on them. Compliance rules, statutory entitlements, and country-specific legal pathways are applied automatically inside the flow, not as a separate research step. For HR and operations teams, that collapses what was previously a multi-day process across forms, tickets, and provider back-and-forth into a single conversation that resolves in minutes.

Nine Operational Actions Available at Launch

Command Center supports the operational work HR and people-operations teams handle most often when managing distributed teams across multiple countries. At launch, users can complete the following actions in plain language:

• Adjust an employee's salary in any of 180+ countries, with local labor law guardrails applied automatically. No need to research country-specific rules first.
• Initiate a termination, voluntary or employer-initiated, with the correct legal review pathway, notice periods, and severance calculations applied for the jurisdiction.
• Submit and route an expense through the appropriate approval workflow.
• Request time off or approve leave, with statutory entitlements applied automatically by country.
• Amend a contract with version control and local compliance review built into the flow.
• Onboard a new hire as an EOR employee or contractor, with country selection and the relevant local contract template applied.
• Generate a document from template, covering offer letters, addenda, certificates, and other recurring HR artifacts.
• Update a job title across employee records, contracts, and downstream systems in a single action.
• Get expert advice on complex employment topics across every country where Remote People operates, drawing on the same in-country expertise that powers the rest of the platform.

Additional actions will ship across the coming quarters, expanding Command Center's coverage of the full Employer of Record (EOR) lifecycle.

Built for Action, Built for Global Scale

• Natural language input: users describe what they need in their own words. No rigid command syntax, no forms, no tickets.
• Multilingual: Command Center works in any language, matching the reality of teams that operate across multiple markets.
• Country-aware by default: labor law rules, statutory entitlements, contract templates, and legal review pathways are applied automatically based on the jurisdiction of the employee or contractor.
• Compliance guardrails: high-impact actions, including terminations and contract amendments, are routed through Remote People's in-country experts for review before commit.
• Audit trail by default: every completed action is logged automatically with a timestamp and actor identity, producing a queryable compliance record.
• Non-destructive: cancelling at any step leaves nothing changed, so users can explore options or back out without consequence.

CEO Statement

"Most AI launches in global employment over the past year have been built to give people information. Where to hire, what salaries look like, which countries are open, what tasks are overdue," said Antoine Boquen, CEO of Remote People. "That is useful, but it is not the work. The work is adjusting a salary in Brazil, terminating an employee in Germany with the correct local procedure, amending a contract in Singapore, onboarding a contractor in Argentina. That is what HR and operations teams spend their days on, and that is what Command Center was built to actually do. We shipped nine operational actions at launch, in 180+ countries, in any language, with compliance applied inside the flow rather than as a separate research step. That is the kind of AI announcement we believe global employment teams have been waiting for: not another advisor, but a partner that completes the operational work."

G2 names Remote People a Leader in Employer of Record (EOR), Global Employment Platforms, and Contractor Management, a Momentum Leader in Global Payroll and PEO, and #1 for Highest User Adoption in Global Employment Platforms Mid-Market.

NEW YORK, June 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Remote People, a global Employer of Record (EOR) and HR platform, has been named the Best Employer of Record (EOR) platform in the G2 Summer 2026 Reports, earning 80+ badges across Employer of Record, Global Employment Platforms, Contractor Management, Global Payroll, and Professional Employer Organization (PEO) categories. G2 is the world's largest peer-reviewed software marketplace, with all rankings drawn directly from verified user reviews of teams running global hiring through the platform.

Why G2 Named Remote People the Best Employer of Record (EOR) Platform for Summer 2026

An Employer of Record (EOR) is a third-party organization that legally employs workers on behalf of another company, assuming responsibility for payroll, taxes, benefits, employment contracts, and local labor law compliance in each jurisdiction. G2 ranks EOR providers entirely on verified user reviews, with rankings recalculated each quarter. In its Summer 2026 Reports, Remote People earned the broadest recognition of any provider in the Employer of Record category.

G2 named Remote People a Leader in three of the most competitive global hiring categories: Employer of Record (EOR), Global Employment Platforms (GEP), and Contractor Management. The platform was also named a Momentum Leader in Global Payroll and PEO, recognizing accelerating user adoption, and earned the #1 position for Highest User Adoption in Global Employment Platforms Mid-Market.

Recognition highlights from the G2 Summer 2026 Reports include:

• Leader in Employer of Record (EOR), a marquee G2 designation reserved for the highest-rated, most-reviewed vendors in a category.
• Leader in Global Employment Platforms (GEP) and Leader in Contractor Management, confirming category leadership across the full international hiring stack.
• Momentum Leader in Global Payroll and PEO, awarded to vendors with the strongest year-over-year growth in users, employees, and review velocity.
• Highest User Adoption in Global Employment Platforms Mid-Market, a G2 metric measuring how deeply customers actually deploy the platform after purchase.
• Specific badges include High Performer, Easiest To Use, Easiest Admin (Small Business), Best Meets Requirements (Small Business), Best Support (Enterprise), Users Most Likely To Recommend, Momentum Leader, and Regional Leader (Mid-Market, EMEA).
• 5 out of 5 G2 rating across verified reviews from teams running global hiring on the platform.

80+ Badges, One Source: Verified Customer Reviews

Unlike analyst-led rankings, G2's reports are computed entirely from verified user reviews. To earn a Leader badge in a category, a vendor needs both broad user satisfaction and a significant volume of reviews from real customers. Remote People's 80+ Summer 2026 badges span every major G2 report relevant to global hiring, including Enterprise, Mid-Market, Small Business, and Regional (EMEA) editions.

The recognition adds to Remote People's position as a #1 EOR provider across three independent 2026 rankings: People Managing People, SelectSoftwareReviews, and Outsource Accelerator. The convergence of peer-reviewed and analyst-led recognition reinforces Remote People's status as the leading global employment partner for companies hiring internationally.

CEO Statement

"G2 is the hardest recognition to manufacture, and that is exactly why it matters," said Antoine Boquen, CEO of Remote People. "Every one of these 80+ badges traces back to a verified review from a real team running global hiring through our platform. You cannot lobby for a Leader badge, you cannot buy a Momentum Leader badge, and you certainly cannot fake a Highest User Adoption ranking. Earning Leader status in Employer of Record, Global Employment Platforms, and Contractor Management at the same time, alongside our #1 EOR rankings from People Managing People, SelectSoftwareReviews, and Outsource Accelerator, tells us the operational fundamentals are landing with customers exactly where they should: in fast implementation, real support, and reliable global coverage in 180+ countries."

Remote People takes the #1 position in SelectSoftwareReviews' Q2 2026 ranking of the 14 best EOR services, recognized as the Best Employer of Record for SMBs seeking a practical, cost-focused path to global hiring.

NEW YORK, May 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Remote People, a global Employer of Record (EOR) and HR platform, has been named the Best Employer of Record (EOR) in the Q2 2026 buyer guide published by SelectSoftwareReviews (SSR), an independent HR technology research firm that has evaluated 40+ EOR platforms and test-hired more than 70 employees through them over the years. SSR ranked Remote People at the top of its 14 Best Employer of Record Services list and awarded it the category title "Best for SMBs seeking a practical, cost-focused EOR solution."

Why SelectSoftwareReviews Named Remote People the Best Employer of Record in 2026

An Employer of Record (EOR) is a third-party organization that legally employs workers on behalf of another company, assuming responsibility for payroll, taxes, benefits, employment contracts, and local labor law compliance in each jurisdiction. SelectSoftwareReviews built its 2026 buyer guide around four evaluation pillars: direct entity ownership, pricing transparency, proven customer support, and a user-friendly interface. Across these criteria, Remote People stood out as the most practical choice for small and mid-sized businesses building international teams without committing to an enterprise-priced EOR platform.

In its review, SSR highlighted Remote People as "architected for companies that want a straightforward path to international hiring," pointing to its transparent invoicing, modern interface, and the depth of its country-specific hiring resources as differentiators against incumbent platforms.

Key factors that contributed to Remote People's #1 EOR ranking include:

• Transparent pricing from $199 per employee per month, the most affordable starting price among the 14 vendors SSR evaluated, with no setup fees or minimum commitments.
• Coverage in 150+ countries with compliant employment contracts, multi-currency payroll, and locally compliant benefits administration.
• Line-by-line payroll visibility, which SSR specifically called out for giving finance teams clear reconciliation across jurisdictions.
• Operational add-ons that consolidate vendors, including IT asset management, background checks, work visa support, US PEO services, and office leasing delivered through a single partner.
• Country-specific hiring guides that SSR described as going "beyond basics" to explain real compliance and payroll nuances in each market.
• A redesigned, modern interface serving 3,000+ organizations since the company's founding in 2018.

Top of a 14-Vendor Field

SSR's buyer guide compared 14 leading EOR services, including Deel, Rippling, Multiplier, Oyster, G-P, Remote, RemoFirst, Justworks, Borderless AI, Pebl, GoGlobal, Native Teams, and others. Remote People was placed at the top of the ranking and assigned the category title:

"Best for SMBs seeking a practical, cost-focused EOR solution."

The recognition reinforces a broader pattern across 2026: independent analysts and review platforms are converging on Remote People as a leading global employment partner for growing companies.

CEO Statement

"The real differentiator in EOR is no longer software, it is the operational discipline behind it," said Antoine Boquen, CEO of Remote People. "SelectSoftwareReviews has spent years pressure-testing this category, and earning the top spot in their 2026 buyer guide validates a deliberate bet we made: invest in transparent pricing from $199 a month, country-by-country payroll expertise across 150+ jurisdictions, line-by-line invoice visibility for finance teams, and operational services that range from Contractor of Record and contractor management to work visas, global mobility, US PEO, and incorporation. The result is more than 3,000 organizations served, a 4.8 out of 5 rating across 500+ verified reviews, and #1 EOR rankings from SelectSoftwareReviews, People Managing People, and Outsource Accelerator."
