RemotePeople is hiring a Mandarin-speaking SDR for Chinese companies it has never engaged, plus customer success, revenue operations and compliance roles in China. It already has a Chinese site, remotepeople.cn, but nothing on remotepeople.com links to it: the language switcher and hreflang tags offer English, French and Dutch only. And the Chinese menu has slips a native reader will notice at once: the RPO service appears as "恢复点目标" (an IT backup term, "recovery point objective"), the Legal industry as "合法的" ("lawful"), and the main button still reads "GET A PROPOSAL" in English.
First action
Add 中文 to the language switcher and correct the three menu labels.

Why it works
Add 中文 to the language switcher, pointing to the matching remotepeople.cn page; add reciprocal hreflang (zh-Hans) and self-canonicals on both sites so search engines pair them; have a native speaker review the .cn menu, buttons and top 20 pages (starting with RPO, Legal and the proposal button); and give the China SDR a Chinese proposal landing page to use in outreach.
Chinese buyers who arrive on the English site can find the Chinese one, the Chinese pages get indexed as the Chinese version, and the first impression for a new market looks native rather than machine-translated, which matters for a company selling compliance.

- HiringA China build-out: a Sales Development Representative (China) to reach "new companies in the Chinese market, which Remote People has not previously engaged with", with campaigns "tailored to the Chinese market" and a "Native Mandarin Chinese speaker" requirement; a Customer Success Manager (China, posted October 18); a Revenue Operations Manager (China); a Global Workforce Compliance Advisor (Shanghai); and a Headhunting Services Manager (APAC) to "support Chinese companies expanding into other Asian and international markets", fluent in Mandarin.Source
- Your websiteremotepeople.com's language switcher and hreflang tags list only English, French (/fr/) and Dutch (/nl/, launched July 23, 2026). The homepage has no link to remotepeople.cn, the company's Chinese-language site (lang zh-Hans), and remotepeople.cn carries no hreflang or canonical tags pointing back (checked twice on October 22, 2026).Source
- Your websiteremotepeople.cn: the Chinese menu renders the RPO service as "恢复点目标" (the IT backup term "recovery point objective"), the Legal industry as "合法的" ("lawful"), and leaves the "GET A PROPOSAL" button in English. Its sitemap has 453 URLs (392 country pages, about 16 solution pages and a few case studies) and no blog, glossary, calculators or provider comparisons, against 3,065 URLs on remotepeople.com.Source
