Remote
Employer of record and global payroll for hiring people in other countries.
NOT REALLY
why this verdict
Keep paying — OpenAI has not replaced it
OpenAI's version overlaps, but does not finish the HR & recruiting job, so this one still earns its $29/mo.
- A named launch, not a vibe named, unlinked
- Deel and Rippling consolidating global employment with far larger sales operations. OpenAI, November 11, 2025 — no announcement link recorded yet.
- How much of the job it covers not the job editorial call
- Parts of it. The job still needs the tool to get finished.
- Is there a free way to do it? paid only
- 3 replacements listed, all paid.
- What the call is worth $348/yr
- $29/mo at the entry paid tier — $348 a year per seat.

The backstory
Remote owns its legal entities in the countries it operates in rather than renting them from partners, which sounds like a footnote until a compliance dispute arises and it determines who is actually liable. The market is a three-way fight with Deel and Rippling, all growing fast and spending enormously. AI barely touches the core product, since the value is legal infrastructure and payroll compliance, and that is a slow, unglamorous, deeply defensible thing to own.
