SaaS and remote work go hand-in-hand: without SaaS tools, in fact, working remotely would be nigh-on impossible to imagine trying to stage virtual meetings without a video conferencing platform, or keep projects moving forward with no cloud-based project management solution.

But as an industry, SaaS is also conducive to remote work because many SaaS-related roles can be (and are being) done virtually. There’s little need for a software developer, for instance, to be present in an office every day of the week  or ever at all.

This means SaaS businesses can be pretty flexible when it comes to hiring. Location needn’t be a barrier to great talent, so many companies are embracing distributed hiring models where skills and experience matter way more than where someone’s based.

Fortunately, if you’re a U.S.-based SaaS business looking to tap into international talent, an employer of record (EOR) partner means you can hire wherever you like legally, compliantly, and cost effectively  and here are 10 of the best EOR platforms you can choose from.

1. Invedus Outsourcing

Invedus helps U.S. SaaS companies hire offshore talent quickly, legally, and without the hassle of setting up entities abroad.

As an EOR, we handle contracts, compliance, payroll, and HR, but we also go a step further. Every employee hired through Invedus works from our supervised offices, giving companies a reliable mix of affordability, accountability, and consistent day-to-day support.

SaaS teams use Invedus to build offshore pods for engineering, QA, DevOps, support, design, and operational roles. Talent is vetted, onboarded fast, and aligned to U.S. time zones, making it easy for small and medium businesses to scale without straining internal resources.

Where many EOR providers stop at paperwork, Invedus provides real working teams.

This makes it a strong fit for growing SaaS companies that want predictable costs, hands-on support, and offshore talent that integrates smoothly into their existing workflows.

2. Remote

Remote has gained a reputation in the global hiring game for being one of the most flexible, comprehensive solutions out there.

For U.S. businesses, Remote enables seamless domestic and international recruitment, with 100% ownership of every overseas entity it owns. That means you’re never passed over to a third-party intermediary, and you get consistent and country-specific support no matter where you hire.

Not looking for full-time hires? Remote is also a go-to for SaaS businesses hiring contractors, with a slick yet robust contractor management system that allows you to onboard freelance talent quickly and pay invoices in their preferred currency.

The rates Remote offers are also affordable while being transparent. Remote also shields you from any sudden increases in prices and additional charges that are usually hidden in the fine print.

3. Oyster HR

Mission-led and easy to use, Oyster HR has captured the preference of remote-first SaaS companies.

Oyster democratizes distributed hiring with easy access to country guides, cost estimators, and employment rules you can check before deciding to expand into a new country. This transparency before hiring allows companies to budget properly and mitigate the risk of compliance issues.

Oyster supports and employs contractors in over 180 countries. It’s best fit for companies in the forefront of global equity for remote talent in disadvantaged countries.

The only drawback is that, for SaaS companies with an emphasis on global mobility and transparency, the absence of a hands-on approach in support documentation is a deal breaker. However, such teams in SaaS may find Oyster to be the best option.

4. Multiplier

Multiplier’s simple interface and seamless onboarding experience are crucial for SaaS founders looking to set up international hires in a matter of minutes.

The service is available in over 150 countries and has all the necessary EOR functions: compliant hiring, contract creation, payroll, benefits, expenses, leave, and much more.

What is considered one of the benefits of Multiplier is how simple it is to use, even the smaller SaaS teams that operate with minimal HR resources have no trouble. It is also a simple pricing model with straightforward monthly payments and no tiered pricing or hidden costs.

The downside? Multiplier’s ecosystem is purposefully shallow. While that makes the system easy to work with, it also means the system does not have the advanced automation or extensive HR functionality of more enterprise-focused systems.

For teams looking for a straightforward and easy to use EOR without the unnecessary complexities, it is still Multiplier that offers the best value.

5. Remote People

In a matter of time, Remote People has become a prime EOR option for US SaaS firms going global and requiring a partner who values pricing transparency, operational involvement, and is willing to provide support in detail.

Starting at $199 a month for each employee, Remote People offers the best value in the industry for EOR at such flexible and transparent pricing, which is also the reason SaaS teams with global scaling need to partner with Remote People.

Independent comparator RemotePad confirms Remote People to be one of the most reputable EOR in the US and that is why the company is becoming a trusted partner for many.

Remote People has created an ecosystem as a SaaS company for US or remote hiring to be compliant with backed employment, payroll, benefits admin, in-country specialist, and systems that value flexibility and ease of use.

Remote People offers both remarkable compliance and affordability whether you are setting up your first offshore engineering team or venturing into multiple countries.

6. Atlas

Atlas has established themselves as a great player in the global employment space, mainly due to their extensive network of fully owned entities, a business model unique to Remote.

This network is particularly useful for SaaS companies because of the consistency and legal assurances needed when trying to enter new, heavily regulated and complex markets.

Atlas has a scalable system that includes, contract generation, payroll compliance, benefits administration, and tools to manage the entire employee lifecycle.

Atlas has also created various assistance tools in the form of knowledge bases to help customers understand local compliance problems that may arise when hiring in a new region.

SaaS teams hiring in difficult jurisdictions, will find, however, that Atlas is a great option.

7. Globalization Partners

G-P unquestionably is one of the most celebrated pioneers for the modern employer-of-record model in the EOR space.

Given their significant global presence and in-country proficiency, G-P stands out for SaaS companies recruiting in countries with rigid labor laws and/or rapidly evolving legislation. Their compliance capabilities are unmatched, evidenced by the enterprise-level clients in their portfolio.

The G-P Meridian platform gives you insight on the complete visibility on the overall hiring costs, employment contracts, onboarding milestones, and payroll. G-P’s reputation for high-touch support makes it extra suitable for companies seeking guidance instead of relying on a self-serve tool.

G-P has to be one of the most, if not the most, expensive EOR providers. This can be a barrier for many early-stage startups and smaller SaaS teams. However, G-P’s costs are reasonable for companies that need to be in full compliance.

8. Rippling

Rippling stands out because it brings HR, IT, and finance together under one unified platform  something many EORs simply don’t offer.

For SaaS companies that prefer to consolidate their tech stack, Rippling’s all-in-one environment can be a big win: you can hire internationally, run payroll, manage devices, automate onboarding workflows, and handle compliance from the same dashboard.

Its automation capabilities are strong, too, making it easy to spin up location-specific processes, send documents, trigger provisioning, and stay compliant with local laws.

Rippling’s EOR coverage is also improving rapidly and their in-country knowledge is better than most. Relative to tools that offer EOR-only services, Rippling provides greater operational control and insight throughout the employee lifecycle.

That said, Rippling’s strength as an “everything platform” can also be its drawback. Companies that only need an EOR may find the interface too dense, but it’s ideal for SaaS teams wanting efficiency, automation and a unified system.

9. Safeguard Global

Safeguard Global offers a mature workforce management platform that combines EOR services with broader HR outsourcing and workforce strategy capabilities.

For SaaS organizations planning long-term international expansion, Safeguard’s strategic advisory approach is a major plus: you’re not just hiring abroad, you’re building a sustainable global footprint.

Their EOR solution (“Global Employment Outsourcing”) offers compliance, payroll, benefits, onboarding, and in-country expertise, and is particularly strong in regions like Latin America and Europe, where labor laws can be complex.

Because Safeguard is a full-service workforce provider, the platform is more enterprise-oriented than startup-oriented. But for scaling teams that want a partner thinking several steps ahead, Safeguard is a reliable and strategic option.

10. Skuad

Skuad describes itself as a fast-moving tech-first EOR which targets organisations seeking rapid and compliant hiring across multiple jurisdictions with no administrative friction.

Skuad is able to provide seamless onboarding and contract templates that, while clear to employers, conform to employment requirements of each country.

They support hiring in more than 160 countries, with benefits administration at a local level, and provide leave and expense management tools as well. Adequately supporting even complex multinational structures, the product is simple enough to be used by small and medium SaaS companies.

Skuad is a relative newcomer within the snow EOR and HCM sectors, and their brand is still being built. Affordable pricing, well-designed UX and rapid onboarding have also solved critical problems for SaaS companies seeking to optimise global hiring.

The best EOR enables SaaS companies based in the US to hire and leverage global talent as if the workforce was all in the US. They will also avoid the need to set up foreign entities, navigate complex compliance, and all the headaches that come with it.
