Horizons is a bootstrapped global Employer of Record platform founded in 2018 with offices in Berlin and Singapore. The company enables businesses to hire, onboard, and pay employees across 180+ countries without setting up local entities. It maintains owned entities in over 100 countries and employs a team of 130+ in-house legal experts who handle employment contracts, payroll, tax filings, benefits administration, and visa support. The platform also offers contractor management, talent recruitment services, and entity incorporation.
The onboarding process is generally fast, with most new hires processed within 24 to 48 hours. Payroll runs in local currencies with a single consolidated monthly invoice, and dedicated account managers provide ongoing support. The company rebranded to Remote People in February 2026 to reflect its broader positioning as a full-lifecycle hiring platform.
That said, Horizons has notable gaps compared to larger competitors. There is no mobile app, which is a frequent complaint among users and employees on the platform. Integration options with third-party software are limited and poorly documented. Some users report slow email support response times, particularly around payroll periods, and the platform lacks advanced reporting or analytics features. It is also not a good fit for companies that only need standalone global payroll without EOR services.
- SMBs and mid-market companies expanding internationally across Europe, Asia, and LATAM without establishing local entities, especially those who also need recruitment support bundled with EOR.
- Large enterprises needing advanced HRIS features, companies requiring extensive third-party integrations, organizations that only need standalone payroll without EOR, and teams that rely heavily on mobile access.
- Fast onboarding within 24-48 hours with a straightforward setup process.
- Transparent flat-rate pricing with no hidden fees and a single monthly invoice.
- Dedicated account managers who provide personalized support and local compliance guidance.
- No mobile app, which limits employee self-service on the go.
- Slow email support response times, particularly during payroll processing periods.
- Limited third-party integrations and minimal advanced reporting or analytics capabilities.
