There is no dearth of human capabilities that have showed up on the surface at some point throughout our history, and yet none have proven themselves to be as valuable as our capability to grow on a consistent basis. This progressive approach, on our part, has already fetched the world some huge milestones, with technology appearing as a rather unique member of the stated group. The reason why technology’s credentials are so anomalous is purposed around its skill-set, which was unprecedented enough to realize all the possibilities for us that we couldn’t have imagined otherwise. Nevertheless, a closer look should be able to reveal how the whole runner was also very much inspired from the way we applied those skills across a real world. The latter component was, in fact, what gave the creation a spectrum-wide presence and made it the ultimate centerpiece of every horizon. Now, having such a powerful tool run the show did expand our experience in many different directions, but even after reaching so far ahead, this prodigious concept called technology will somehow keep on delivering the right goods. The same has grown to become a lot more evident in recent times, and assuming one new HRM-themed development pans out just like we envision, it will only propel that trend towards greater heights over the near future and beyond.
Sequoia, the pioneer in total benefits and compensation, has officially partnered with Remote to help VC-backed companies everywhere access a comprehensive HR outsourcing solution and support their employees globally. According to certain reports, the stated partnership will revolve largely around Sequoia’s PEO offering, Sequoia One, which has been conceived to provide US-based VC-backed tech startups with services and capabilities they usually need, such as compensation management, HR, benefits, and payroll. But what is Remote’s role here then? Well, by leveraging Remote’s experience in building, managing, and supporting globally distributed workforces, Sequoia One will be able to empower its users to manage and expand their global workforce all from a single solution interface. Conversely, Remote can also bank upon Sequoia’s certified PEO, specialized in serving the needs more common among tech companies, for the purpose of enabling its international customers to broaden their US-based people operations. Talk about what the partnership is going to bring on a slightly more granular level, we begin from the all-new Employer of Record function that will make it possible for companies to hire, manage, and pay employees in any country, even across regions where they don’t exactly have a legal entity. Next up, we referred to the presence of a certified PEO within the given collaboration, it should go a long way to play the role of a trusted outsource HR and payroll partner, and therefore, simply managing employees in the US. Alongside a certified PEO, users can also expect a global HRIS where Sequoia One will ensure seamless management of US-based employees, while Remote looks after the workers in all the other countries. However, even though they are very different focal points, users with interests in both areas can handle operations from one exclusive integrated system. Another detail worth a mention here would be how the stated management mechanism isn’t just focused on employees. Instead, it also offers a similarly easy way of hiring and paying independent contractors who happen to live in a foreign country. Having referred to payments, the partnership rounds up the highlights by packing together multi-country payroll processes to initiate remuneration in a straightforward yet locally-compliant manner.
“Our mission at Sequoia One is to strategically support startups from day one, so they can focus on their mission,” said Christina Sullivan, Chief Client Officer at Sequoia. “By partnering with Remote, we are reinforcing this mission and making it easier for our joint customers to take advantage of talent markets, both in the US and around the world.”
More on what makes Remote an ideal for such an initiative, the company’s strong credentials are rooted in how it has removed all the conventional employee recruitment and management barriers to fetch companies the best possible talent from across the whole world. This Remote has done through solutions like PEO, Hiring, remote work, global employment, payroll, EOR, remote hiring, global benefits, global tax and compliance management, international payroll, IP protection, automated payments, human resource management, contractor management, and more. To further contextualize company’s excellence in providing these services, we just have to consider how it is currently backed by various industry leaders, including SoftBank Vision Fund 2, Accel, Index Ventures, Two Sigma Ventures, General Catalyst, and B Capital etc.
As for Sequoia, it makes a case for itself by handing companies a clear people advantage through an improvement across employee retention, appeal to top talent, and instigating a meaningful increase when it comes to people-spend ROI. Using a cutting-edge People Platform, the company connects your employee total comp programs with insightful people analytics to ensure that you get the most out of your workforce-related investments. Sequoia’s excellence in what it does can also be understood once you consider that it has already served the likes of Buzzfeed, Minted, Headspace, DocuSign, Philz Coffee, Stash, Dropbox, and various other big names.
“Our goal at Remote is to make it simple for businesses to hire, manage, and pay employees, no matter where those employees are located,” said Job van der Voort, Chief Executive Officer of Remote. “Through our expanded collaboration with trusted partner Sequoia, we’re providing our customers access to world-class HR solutions that empower them to scale and support their global workforces with confidence.”
