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?

experience with RemotePeople was actually the complete opposite. Call with them felt like they didn't have time for us, rushing to get rid of us, then assumed it was a done deal and sent us a contract the next day.

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

PositivePricing
r/remotework1Jul 2026

Looking for Deel alternatives

RemotePeople starts at $199 per employee per month instead of $599. If you're hiring four people that's a massive difference. You still get local contracts, payroll and compliance support so unless you need some enterprise feature it seems hard to justify paying that much more.

AI summary: Author highlights Remote People's $199/employee/month pricing as a much cheaper alternative to Deel's $599, while still covering local contracts, payroll, and compliance.

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.

Has anyone used an Employer of Record (EOR) to hire remote employees?

we've had a good experience with RemotePeople for exactly this kind of setup. the main question i'd ask any provider is whether they own their entities in the target country, because that changes compliance reliability a lot.

AI summary: Author says their company had a good experience with RemotePeople for international EOR, highlighting hands-off payroll and compliance handling.

Opinions and feedbacks about payroll company remotepeople (ex-joinhorizons)

Have you had any experience working with the EOR company joinhorizons.com, which is now called remotepeople.com? I’m asking because I’m planning to work with them, and I have very mixed feelings so far.

AI summary: Post author describes mixed experience with Remote People (formerly JoinHorizons): fast and responsive in sales but slow and needing to be chased once actual work began.

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.
