Horizons rebrands as Remote People, expands global hiring services
NEW YORK, UNITED STATES — Horizons, a leading global Employer of Record (EOR), has officially rebranded as Remote People, signaling its evolution from a traditional EOR provider into a full-service global hiring and expansion platform.
According to a press release from the company, the move reflects the company’s growing role in helping businesses recruit, employ, and manage talent across more than 150 countries.
Evolution from EOR to full-service hiring
The rebrand comes as Remote People broadens its offerings beyond EOR services, now including in-house recruitment, contractor management, United States Professional Employer Organization (PEO), global mobility, and entity incorporation advisory.
“Horizons was the right name for where we started. Remote People is the right name for where we’re going. We’re not just an EOR anymore. We take care of the full hiring and expansion experience, from recruitment to compliant hiring, to incorporation,” said Antoine Boquen, chief executive officer (CEO) of Remote People, highlighting the strategic shift.
“The name says exactly what we do — we’re the people behind your remote workforce,” Boquen added.
The company expands its business operations through its growth strategy, which aims to sustain business development. The company has demonstrated its ability to maintain profitability since 2020 without needing major venture capital investments.
Boquen noted the focus on compliance and human support over marketing: “We invest in compliance, not billboards.”
Remote People has served more than 3,000 companies globally, earning a #1 ranking on G2 for Ease of Use, Best Support, and Best Meets Requirements, with a 97% annual customer retention rate.
Seamless transition for customers and industry impact
For existing Horizons clients, the transition to Remote People will be seamless. The business will continue its current operations during the branding change, which will begin in the upcoming weeks through its new designs that will appear in contracts, services, and customer accounts.
The rebranding effort serves to demonstrate an industry trend that has been observed in the outsourcing and human resources (HR) services sector. Companies demand complete operational business solutions instead of purchasing separate service components.
Remote People functions as a single partner for global workforce expansion as it combines recruitment with compliance and local incorporation advisory services, which helps clients to manage their remote teams with greater efficiency.
This comprehensive method serves to meet the increasing need for platforms that simplify international recruitment processes while maintaining legal and regulatory requirements.
As more organizations embrace distributed workforces, Remote People’s move illustrates how EOR providers can evolve into comprehensive global employment partners, shaping the future of remote workforce management.
