For employers
Hiring remote talent across borders
RoamJobs is a reader-side site: we route job seekers to the boards, feeds and vetted talent networks that already serve employers, and we do not sell job listings or access to our subscriber list. What we publish for employers is the hiring side of the same question — how to employ someone compliantly in the country they live in.
RoamJobs does not sell job posts. To reach the remote job seekers who read RoamJobs, list your role on the boards and networks they use — We Work Remotely, Remotive, Himalayas and Wellfound for direct postings, or Turing, Toptal and Arc for pre-vetted developers. Those are the places RoamJobs sends its readers. Hiring across borders and need payroll or compliance? The 80 country guides below cover employer of record vs contractor vs entity, with sourced statutory employer-cost ranges for 41 countries.
Hiring internationally? How to employ people in 80 countries
Three routes: an Employer of Record that legally employs them on your behalf, an independent-contractor agreement, or your own local entity. For a first hire in a country, an EOR is usually the fastest compliant route. We publish sourced statutory employer-cost ranges for 41 of the countries below.
