Remote People on Reddit
Real community discussion we screened for relevance, then summarised: unfiltered operator experience, kept separate from our Select Score. One caveat: Reddit is anonymous, and some posts come from competitors or marketing agencies, so we verify that a mention is relevant, not whether any single comment is true. Filter by sentiment, or open any mention on Reddit.
Experiences with Employer of Record (EOR) services for hiring in South Africa?

AI summary: Commenter describes Remote People's sales call as rushed and dismissive, contrasting it negatively with Horizons' onboarding experience.

Opinions and feedbacks about payroll company remotepeople (ex-joinhorizons)
“the pattern you describe is super common, great sales team, slow operations. its almost an industry standard at this point tbh”
AI summary: HR professional warns that the rebrand from Horizons to Remote People can be a cautionary sign, advising thorough vetting of contract quality, payslip timelines, and sick/holiday handling before committing.
A note on Reddit: not every comment is a genuine, independent user. Some posts come from marketing agencies, competitors or the providers themselves. We screen mentions for relevance before they count toward a score, but we show this discussion as community signal, not verified fact, so weigh it with that in mind.
