Challenges of Remote Hiring in Argentina
Simplifying Remote Hiring in Argentina with RemotePass
Hear what teams love
about using RemotePass.
Using RemotePass has been an absolute game-changer for our operations - knowing that we have a reliable partner on our side even in complex regions efficiently (this has previously been a big headache for us), allows our teams to focus exclusively on client service and product delivery
Nina, Associate VP
@Infomineo
We were looking for a simple and affordable product and RemotePass more than delivered. RemotePass helped us streamline and manage our remote teams. RemotePass understood us as a company and provided us the support and confidence that we are compliant with regulations, our remote teams have excellent support, and that we made the right choice
Preeta, HR Business Partner
@Eyewa
RemotePass has been very helpful as it streamlines the payment process to our consultants, with a simple 2 to 3 clicks the job is done. It is effortless and straightforward to use. The most important thing is that It eliminates any compliance risks we might face, and the lengthy verification process. Overall the system is excellent, and I would recommend it to other organizations.
Rafik, Head of HR
@Rizek
The product has been incredibly a game-changer for us as we scaled our team globally. Creating a great first impression when onboarding remote teams. Everything centralized in one place. Love it!
Roxana L, Chief People Officer
@Bankio
Our work with RemotePass is a partnership based on trust and credibility we are proud to have. With RemotePass services, onboarding and payroll for our global team is well managed and our employees feel safe and cared for.
Fahad A, HR
@Soum KSA
I was instantly impressed with the UI/UX of the RemotePass platform, it is incredibly user-friendly and the feedback I have received from the remote workers has been excellent. Having supplied contract and remote staff to clients in the Middle East for several years, I have been used to a very manual and labor-heavy process when it comes to payroll and compliance. After one demonstration from the team at RemotePass I switched from using an existing supplier, as I get better value and service using this platform.
David S, Practice Lead
@Salt
Love it! It has been an essential tool for us, the perks of having everything at the point of my fingers. Using RemotePass has been super efficient. The platform is user-friendly and fast, and communication with customer service is truly a "gold standard".
Iyad A, Head of People
@Unico
Working with RemotePass has been extremely easy and effortless. The customer support team are second to none - always quick to respond, always helping with desire and delivering perhaps some of the best customer service we have ever encountered. Onboarding new contractors and employees is quick and easy, and we are happy to recommend RemotePass to others
Zorrie Dimitrova, COO
@GlycanAge
RemotePass has hands down been one of the best (useful and easy to use) platforms I've worked with in the past few years!
VJ, People & Talent Manager
@Invygo
RemotePass has been a great success partner for Amwal, it truly enabled us to be international talent friendly. Attracting top talent without the hassle of thinking how we would hire and pay abroad.
Reda Reda, CEO and Co-Founder
@Amwal
RemotePass has really helped us take the pain out of managing salary payments, contract managements, and admin work with our remote teams. They feel much more in control and more connected because of it.
Mohammad Absi-Halabi, CEO
@Swftbox
RemotePass is a game-changer for us. It has made managing our remote teams effortless and has greatly improved the process of hiring, managing and collaborating with our team remotely. Highly recommended
Salem Abu-Hammour, CEO & Co-Founder
@ERAD
We’re delighted to express our satisfaction regarding our collaboration with RemotePass. Their cutting-edge cloud-based platform has revolutionized our workforce and hiring procedures, enabling us to enhance efficiency and effectiveness in managing everything. It serves as a comprehensive solution that has greatly simplified our operations, making remote work effortless.
Kareem Masri, Accountant
@Alma Health
RemotePass has been so efficient for us as we have at least 60% of our team being remote. Especially for tracking if everyone has been paid out or if they have reimbursements, we don't have to manually do it one by one anymore. It's also really good since we are in compliance with each and every single one of our remote teams' place of residence.
Lorena A, HR
@NasDaily
Brilliant service. We love and we'd be using it for the years to come. Also great customer success management as well!
Badr A. CEO
@Soum
We love the entire system you guys have built, it's user-friendly and in particular we love the automated notifications part. Employees are automatically informed about the payment status and they receive the payment in a couple of hours after they get notified vs. manually asking us. Thanks for your ongoing support
