Gusto’s tools allowed us to formalize our processes and ensure every hire has the onboarding experience they deserve whether from our office in Boulder, CO or their home as a remote employee. [Plus] Gusto cuts more than 30 hours of compliance paperwork every month and lets us onboard devs anywhere.
We knew that Gusto would have our back when it came to compliance, so it was no longer an obstacle for widening our talent search. Instead, we now can focus on finding qualified candidates and not fixate on where they are located. So far we've hired 10 remote employees in five states.
We’ve saved at least 100 hours of compliance research and 15 hours a month on payroll paperwork with Gusto.
Remote-first compliance
Global talent, zero guesswork
Our robust hiring suite means you can remotely recruit, hire, onboard, and pay employees in all 50 states and contractors in 120 countries and counting.
