The 8 Best Solutions to Hire and Manage Offshore Teams in 2025

Offshoring has evolved from a cost-saving tactic to a competitive hiring advantage. U.S. companies are now building global teams to gain access to elite talent, increase speed to hire, and optimize operations. But many companies confuse two very different needs: recruiting top offshore professionals and managing international payroll and compliance.

This list breaks down the best platforms and partners that help U.S. companies hire and manage offshore teams, and why choosing the right recruitment firm is the essential first step.

‍

#1 Talent Gems, The Global Talent Acquisition Partner Built for U.S. Companies

Talent Gems is a global talent acquisition firm helping U.S.-based businesses recruit high-performing offshore professionals across Latin America (LATAM), Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe, and Africa. Unlike EOR or HR tech platforms, Talent Gems is focused on finding and placing elite talent that integrates directly into your team and drives performance from day one.

We operate a curated direct-hire model with a one-time placement fee, meaning your new hire is a fully embedded, full-time employee who reports directly to you. Our recruitment team sources, vets, and shortlists candidates who are technically qualified, culturally aligned, and fluent in the tools and workflows North American companies rely on.

Talent Gems has talent hubs in 14 strategic cities globally and a network that spans 30+ countries, including leading talent markets such as Argentina, Brazil, the Philippines, Vietnam, Poland, Macedonia, Kenya, and South Africa. This allows us to pull from rich regional pools that deliver high skill, strong English fluency, and cost-efficiency.

We specialize in six key industries where our sourcing model is already proven:

Accounting & Advisory Firms

We help firms place cloud accountants, tax professionals, audit support, and advisory finance roles like FP&A, M&A, and valuations. Our talent understands North American standards, systems like QuickBooks and Xero, and is experienced in cross-border compliance.

Private Equity & Family Offices

From investment analysts and fund accountants to research support and M&A analysts, our candidates are trained to handle fast-paced, detail-heavy environments. We help lean firms build back-office infrastructure and deal with teams that support top-line performance.

Real Estate & Property Development

We support real estate investors and developers with roles like property accountants, AP/AR staff, tenant communications, leasing admins, and financial reporting support. Our hires often have direct experience in property tech systems and managing large residential and commercial portfolios.

Software & Tech Companies

We work with fast-scaling SaaS companies and product-led startups to hire offshore professionals in marketing, finance, ops, engineering, and RevOps. Whether you need a senior accountant, growth marketer, campaign manager, or HubSpot admin, we deliver vetted professionals who move at startup speed.

Boutique Law Firms

We place paralegals, intake coordinators, legal assistants, and billing support roles that help law firms reduce costs and improve turnaround. We also recruit legal marketing specialists and administrative staff who understand case flow, client communications, and tools like Clio and MyCase.

Marketing & Creative Agencies

We support creative shops and performance agencies by placing campaign managers, designers, copywriters, SEO/SEM experts, and social media leads. Our hires come with strong portfolios, agency experience, and familiarity with project tools like Trello, Slack, and Figma.

If you're serious about building a high-performance offshore team, Talent Gems is your first step. We bring the recruitment engine, not just the paperwork.

#2 Deel, Global Compliance and EOR Infrastructure

Deel is one of the most widely used global EOR platforms. It enables companies to hire full-time international employees or contractors across 100+ countries. Deel offers global payroll, localized employment contracts, tax filings, and benefits management through its own legal entities.

It's a top-tier compliance solution if you’ve already sourced your candidate and now need to onboard and pay them legally. Deel does not assist with recruitment, candidate evaluation, or talent sourcing.

‍

#3 Remote, EOR and Global HR Platform

Remote is a popular platform for managing the backend of global hiring. It helps U.S. companies legally employ team members in over 70 countries and handles payroll, benefits, and tax compliance. Its interface is clean and easy to use, with strong admin dashboards and onboarding tools.

Remote is ideal for startups and midsize businesses that need compliance support. However, it does not help identify or screen candidates. You still need to run your own search.

#4 Oyster, Distributed HR and Compliance Platform

Oyster focuses on simplifying the legal and administrative burden of employing remote teams across borders. Its core offering includes EOR services, payroll, benefits, equity distribution, and time-off tracking across dozens of markets.

Oyster is a go-to choice for HR teams managing multiple countries at scale. But like other EOR tools, Oyster doesn’t provide talent acquisition support. It picks up after you’ve already found your hire.

#5 Rippling, All-in-One HR, IT, and Global Payroll

Rippling stands out for its combination of global HR, payroll, IT, and app access management. It lets companies onboard international workers and contractors, manage devices and software licenses, and streamline approvals in one platform.

For U.S. companies hiring international talent, Rippling offers full compliance and pay management. However, Rippling is not designed to help you discover, screen, or recruit offshore candidates.

‍

#6 Velocity Global, Full-Service EOR and Contractor Management

Velocity Global offers cross-border workforce solutions for companies expanding rapidly. Its EOR services cover hiring, local contracts, benefits, compliance, and tax management. It provides country-specific HR expertise and legal backing for risk-sensitive industries.

What Velocity Global does not offer is help with sourcing talent. Like all EOR platforms, you need to bring your own hire.

‍

#7 WorkMotion, EOR Focused on the European Market

WorkMotion is built for European market compliance. It provides EOR onboarding and contract management for companies hiring in the EU and surrounding regions. Its automated platform streamlines local contracts and accelerates hiring timelines.

WorkMotion is efficient for hiring in Europe, but it lacks talent sourcing tools and coverage for key offshore regions like Latin America or Southeast Asia.

‍

#8 Pilot - Now “Plane”, Payroll and Contractor Payments Platform

Pilot is designed for startups and remote teams paying international contractors and employees. It offers payment processing, tax compliance, and document generation in one dashboard. It’s user-friendly and integrates with platforms like Gusto and QuickBooks.

Pilot is strong for backend operations but doesn’t include recruiting services or global sourcing support. It's best used once you’ve already hired.

‍

The Bottom Line: You Can’t Manage What You Haven’t Found

You can't manage, pay, or onboard a global team if you haven’t found the right people first. Platforms like Deel, Remote, and Rippling are excellent for infrastructure. But infrastructure comes second.

Talent Gems exists to help U.S. companies find, evaluate, and hire elite offshore talent across Latin America (LATAM), Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe, and Africa. We specialize in direct hire recruitment, helping you build the offshore team your business needs to scale.
