Companies that hire remotely, worldwide


No matter how much I search, I can't find a good way to locate companies that are willing to hire remotely (from anywhere in the world) through an EOR (Employer of Record, like Deel.com). I moved to Spain after growing up in the US, and the biggest hurdle I've faced is finding companies that actually hire remotely, not just as freelancers. Usually, "remote" means "within the country, but from home." I was hoping someone might know of a list or resource they could point me to. Thanks!

What’s wrong with freelancing? A pile of employment and tax issues go away for potential customers (employers) when you freelance. Less friction.

I don’t think you ask the right question. Instead of “Which companies hire remotely?” ask “How do I get a company to hire me and not care where I live?” For the right person most companies will figure out some way to hire, they just have to want you enough to do the extra work.

Most countries have labor and immigration laws that require exhausting local talent before hiring foreigners. That means you need skills and experience they can’t find locally.

American companies tend to pay the most and the US has lots of companies that might hire. I find freelancing remotely for American companies the sweet spot. Best rates, no language or cultural disconnects.
