I like how easy RemoFirst is to navigate, which makes submitting personal documents and expenses a breeze. The dashboard is also fantastic as it gives me an overview of my income, provides easy access to manage expenses and submit time-off requests, and offers clear visibility of my status with quick access to necessary tools. The initial setup was very easy, which is always a plus.

A Well-Structured and Supportive Platform

I had a positive experience with the Remofirst platform. The website is well-designed and easy to navigate, and maintaining my profile was straightforward. I also appreciated the clear and timely communication from the team, who ensured that the overall process was transparent and understandable. They addressed my questions, assisted with more complex matters, and maintained a professional and attentive approach.

I’ve been using and I’m genuinely impressed. I really like the minimalist design — clean, modern, and free of unnecessary clutter. The interface is intuitive, making it easy to navigate and find everything I need without any confusion.

I also appreciate the strong privacy settings, which is an important factor for me. Overall, my experience has been very positive. The service feels reliable, well-designed, and user-friendly.

Highly recommended!

9 EOR employees, great experience

I’ve had 9 employees hired with RemoFirst in Europe for 2 years and they have been amazing to work with. Our CSM has always been incredibly helpful, and any time problems have come up they are immediately addressed to our satisfaction. I worked with another EOR previously that I cannot say the same about, and highly recommend RemoFirst for anyone hiring globally. I’m glad we partnered with them so I can focus on my day to day work.

Really impressed

Remofirst genuinely saved us in a tricky situation. We were up against a tight deadline and were close to losing a great candidate, but they pulled everything together quickly and got us exactly what we needed in time. They were easy to deal with, knew what they were doing, and kept things moving without any drama. I shall be recommending them to anyone looking for an EOR provider!

No customer centricity - Payroll is inefficient

Payroll is inefficient. They don't care about customers (hired people). They request payments from the company and retain them for a month or more, directly impacting the employee's cash flow.
Their platform have several database management issues, not allowing editions. Also, it doesn't involve the correct people and you need to push payments with all the stakeholders to make it work. This is a terrible EoR option. After a year and a half of having no option than working with them, I strongly suggest not to choose them.

Strong platform for employees, but not contractors.

Strong platform for employees, not so much for contractors.

There isn't a way to front load payments, and the auto-generated payments in the platform aren't dependent on the contractors' actual hours - plus, the system generates duplicate payment requests. This means you have to be laser focused on making sure payments are correct before going through the process of invoicing yourself - and there's no direct bank integration, so you can expect delays between when you use your bank to pay the invoice and the time it shows up in your system. In other words, there's no way to ensure that your contractors are paid accurately and on time.

Have no decency

Constantly contacting me through phone on my off hours. One thing is email. Contacting through phone on odd hours - just plainly disrespectful.

Hi Indrė, thanks for sharing your feedback — and we’re really sorry that we reached out at a bad time. That’s never our intention, and we completely understand how frustrating that can be.

We’ve passed this along to our team to make sure we’re more mindful about time zones going forward. We really appreciate you letting us know and wish you all the best!

The worst SaaS company I've ever had to deal with. They keep messing up our payroll, paying out incorrect salaries, and invoicing us for incorrect amounts. It's astonishing how little they care about doing a good job.

Hi Ivan,

We’re really sorry to read this, as it’s never the experience we want anyone to have. We tried reaching out for more details so we could look into this further, but were unable to confirm your information as a customer of RemoFirst.

Because of that, we think there may have been a mix-up with another EOR provider. We're sorry you're having a poor experience with them.

Payroll accuracy and compliance are core to what we do, and if our clients ever experience an issue with RemoFirst they’re supported directly by a dedicated account manager to resolve it quickly.

If you have an active account with us, please don’t hesitate to contact us at support@remofirst.com so we can make sure everything is taken care of!

Untransparent pricing, unhelpful support, non-functional service

Untransparent pricing, unhelpful support, non-functional service

As others have mentioned, the pricing is very untransparent - I picked Remofirst due to their attractive price of 199€ per month after comparing multiple services; which actually turned out to be 400€ per month once the invoices started coming.

I still kept using them out of lazyness once I was onboarded, as for me the need of an Employer of Record service was a pure convenience factor to reduce my own paperwork.

A few months later I applied for parental leave through their online portal, and the portal signalled that everything was OK - but in reality it took two months of e-mails back and forth and denouncing several invalid invoices before my parental leave actually was activated; which also means that as a new parent I went without pay for a significant amount of time.

Throughout the parental leave there were multiple issues with the invoicing, where for each new person from the support or finance team reaching out the standard cycle became:

1) Rude/threatening emails
2) Unhelpful answers after being informed about local laws and practices
3) Apologizes/attempt to smooth over once they had checked with the local team and realised they were wrong

All in all, what was supposed to be a convenience turned out to be an additional source of stress and annoyance - and I am going to back to just being self-employed instead of using an Employer of Record.

Hi Simon,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. I’m sorry to hear the experience didn’t meet your expectations during an important time like parental leave.

In your unique setup, where you acted as both the client and the employee, the invoices issued during your leave covered mandatory employer contributions and our fixed platform fee. These are legally required to maintain compliant employment.

While our platform and service fees are fixed and fully transparent, total monthly costs can vary based on local employment laws and statutory requirements in each country. This is outlined at the start of every engagement and further explained during onboarding. As a step, we’ll review how we can make this clearer in our process and continue improving how we communicate cost structures upfront.

Regarding the invoicing concerns, in your case, several invoices went unpaid over multiple months, which placed both parties in a difficult position. As part of our duty to ensure compliance, we must follow up on such cases with due care to avoid legal risk or disruption to payroll and our services. We believe this context may have contributed to how our messages were perceived. That said, we take your feedback seriously and will review our communication internally to ensure our values of professionalism and kindness are consistently upheld.

EOR can be a powerful solution for simplifying employment, but it also depends on shared responsibility. In this case, several of the challenges appear to have stemmed from a breakdown in that shared responsibility, which unfortunately affected the overall experience.

We’re committed to learning from every client experience and continuing to improve the clarity and quality of our service.

Thanks again for your feedback.

Working with RemoFirst is simple

Working with RemoFirst is simple, easy and effective for my global team. The support offered is personable and allows me to get an answer quickly on anything that is needed. We have team members in a handful of different countries through RemoFirst, and the ability to manage payroll for all of them is super convenient. Highly recommend!

Think twice before choosing Remofirst as your EOR

Our experience with Remofirst was deeply disappointing and raised serious concerns about their professionalism and internal coordination.

The onboarding process was sluggish and inefficient, but the real problems began after we signed the contract. At that point, customer support became virtually unreachable, and accountability was lacking.

The most serious issue occurred during an offboarding: Remofirst instructed us to pay several thousand USD in severance for an employee who was still within their probation period. After consulting with our legal counsel, we learned that no severance was legally required. Remofirst had simply failed to verify the employee’s probationary status. Even more troubling, after their customer support acknowledged the error and confirmed we were not liable for severance, their Finance team contacted us days later, demanding payment anyway.

The entire process was chaotic and uncoordinated. If your organization values compliance, responsiveness, and professional expertise, we strongly recommend investing in a more experienced employer of record.

Hi Ali R,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We value transparency and always strive to deliver a professional and compliant experience. We understand your frustration and appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns.

In this case, the situation became complicated when the termination was carried out by your team without adhering to the local legal requirements and proper documentation.

As your Employer of Record, we are obligated to follow the applicable labor laws, even when the outcomes may not align with expectations.

It’s our responsibility to ensure all employment actions follow the law, and when this process isn’t followed, we’re still required to manage the outcome in a compliant manner. Our priority is always to ensure compliance, as it protects both your business and ours.

If you would like to discuss this further, please feel free to reach out to us directly at support@remofirst.com. We are here to help.

Best regards,
Tarek
