The employer of record platform adopted a new identity reflecting expanded services beyond compliance to comprehensive global hiring solutions.
NEW YORK, Feb. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Horizons, the global Employer of Record, today announced it is rebranding as Remote People.
The rebrand reflects the company’s evolution from an Employer of Record provider into a full-lifecycle hiring and expansion platform. Remote People recruits talent, employs them compliantly, and supports entity incorporation across 150+ countries.
“Horizons was the right name for where we started. Remote People is the right name for where we’re going,” said Antoine Boquen, CEO of Remote People. “We’re not just an EOR anymore. We take care of the the full hiring and expansion experience, from recruitment to compliant hiring, to incorporation. The name says exactly what we do — we’re the people behind your remote workforce.”
A Single Partner from First Hire to Local Presence
Remote People now delivers Employer of Record services alongside in-house recruitment, contractor management, US PEO, global mobility, and entity incorporation advisory.
Profitable since 2020, the company has grown sustainably, rather than propped up by venture capital. The focus has been on infrastructure and dedicated human support, as opposed to sales development and marketing.
“We invest in compliance, not billboards,” as Boquen succinctly put it.
