RemotePeople growth playbook

Diagnosis

RemotePeople (formerly Horizons, rebranded February 2026) has a large search footprint (2,000 country pages, 236 glossary terms, 153 provider reviews, 13 tools), 3,000+ customer teams, a 4.8 rating and a broad offer that combines recruitment with EOR.

Its hiring points at three pushes: brand, LinkedIn, video and events in the Americas; outbound in China and Latin America; and partner channels with RevOps to reach 10x ARR.

The site has not caught up: the Chinese site is not linked and has visible translation slips, old Horizons links all land on the homepage, the "$199" headline differs from the $499 standard price, the homepage is slow for real visitors, and there is no events page. This playbook fixes those first, then turns the existing pages, tools and stories into pipeline through country proposals, switch offers, partner kits and customer video.

Growth Score

7/10

Biggest Opportunity

Convert the traffic and trust RemotePeople already has (country pages, tools, reviews, old Horizons links) into proposals, in the languages of the markets it is now selling to.

Biggest Risk

Deel, Remote and Oyster outspend RemotePeople in the same searches, and a new brand name close to Remote's can leak leads and confuse buyers during the rebrand year.

Quick wins with a clear first action.

  • 01

    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.

    Correct the RPO, Legal and proposal-button labels today.

    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.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Two sites drift apart

      Make the .cn review part of every .com page update.

    • Search engines differ in China

      Register the site with Baidu as well as Google.

    Evidence

    • 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

    RemotePeople rebranded from Horizons in February 2026, and the old domain still 301-redirects, but every deep URL we tested (a France EOR page, an "what is an employer of record" post, a glossary entry) lands on the homepage, even though the same paths exist on remotepeople.com. Search engines tend to treat redirects to a homepage as dead pages, so seven years of links to country guides and articles stop passing their value.

    Fix the rule and test the France EOR URL.

    Why it works

    Change the joinhorizons.com rule to a path-preserving redirect (joinhorizons.com/<path> to remotepeople.com/<path>), map any paths that changed to their closest new page, and keep the redirect for years. Then check Search Console for the old domain's top linked pages and confirm each lands on its match.

    One server rule can recover rankings for thousands of country and glossary pages that compete for high-intent searches like "employer of record France".

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Some old paths no longer exist

      Send them to the closest current page, not the homepage.

    Evidence

    • Redirect checkThe old domain joinhorizons.com 301-redirects every deep URL we tested (/countries/france/employer-of-record/, /blog/what-is-an-employer-of-record/, /glossary/employer-of-record/) to the remotepeople.com homepage, although the same paths exist on remotepeople.com.Source

    The homepage and its search description promise "EOR from $199/mo", while the pricing page says EOR Global starts at $499 and $199 is EOR Select for "selected countries and qualifying employee salary ranges". A buyer who clicks through expecting $199 finds a price more than twice as high.

    Change the homepage line this week.

    Why it works

    Show both on the homepage ("EOR Global from $499; EOR Select from $199 in selected countries"), link to a short list of Select countries and salary bands, and add a two-question checker (country, salary) that tells the buyer which plan applies before the proposal form.

    Clear prices build trust in a market where buyers compare Deel, Remote and Oyster side by side, and a qualified expectation lifts proposal-to-close rates.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Fewer clicks from a higher headline price

      Lead with Select where it applies; qualified clicks close better.

    Evidence

    • Your websitePricing page: "EOR Global... From $499 /mo per employee"; "EOR Select" from $199 "for selected countries and qualifying employee salary ranges"; Recruit + EOR at "2% of annual salary per month" for 12 months; Global Recruitment 20% and Executive Search 25% of annual salary; Contractor of Record from $199; US PEO from $99. The homepage and its search description say "EOR from $199/mo" and "Contracts, payroll and benefits from $199/mo per employee" without the Select conditions.Source
    • Competitor researchRivals' own homepages: Deel, "Hire, pay, and manage teams in 150+ countries"; Remote, "The intelligent infrastructure for global employment"; Oyster, "Hire, pay, and manage teams globally" in "+180 Countries". Remote's name is close to RemotePeople's, and RemotePeople itself publishes pages such as "remote-eor-review" and "multiplier-vs-remote".Source

    Inline the hero headline and re-test.

    Why it works

    Serve the hero text with the page HTML (no script-built or animated headline), preload the one font it uses, defer the tag manager, session recording and chat scripts until after load, and cut images below the fold to modern formats with lazy loading. Re-test with PageSpeed and watch the field data for four weeks.

    A headline that appears at once lowers bounce on paid and social traffic and supports rankings on the most competitive EOR terms.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Marketing tags lose data

      Load them after first paint rather than removing them.

    Build one events hub: upcoming events with a "book a meeting there" form routed to the right AE, a page per event with speakers and an agenda, and a post-event page with recordings, slides and a follow-up offer.

    Why it works

    Record 60-90 second remote interviews with eight customers from the existing case studies, cut them into one video plus three clips each, embed them on the case study, the matching country page and the homepage, and use the clips in LinkedIn and SDR sequences.

    Customers on camera are more believable than text, and the stories already exist.

    Why it works

    Write five Chinese-language guides for Chinese companies hiring abroad (Southeast Asia, the EU, the US, the Middle East, Latin America), each with costs, timelines and an EOR-plus-recruitment offer, and find two Chinese customers for case studies. Use them in SDR sequences and Chinese social channels.

    Outbound from China needs proof that fits the outbound direction; the guides also give the Chinese site something to rank with.

    Email 50 customers after their first payroll.

    Why it works

    Trigger a review request after those milestones, rotate between review sites, invite top reviewers to customer panels at events, and refresh the homepage quotes each quarter.

    Fresh reviews keep the rating credible and give marketing a steady stream of quotes for events and LinkedIn.

    Why it works

    Add a country box to each hub: the monthly EOR price for that country (Global or Select), typical onboarding time, a local customer story where one exists, and a proposal form pre-set to the country. Test on the top 20 countries first.

    Country-specific answers convert better than generic forms, and the data already exists in the pricing and onboarding teams.

3 research areas, each summarised in a few lines. Open any of them for the full detail.

Customers

What customers say

Customers value hiring abroad without a local entity. The most cited problem: compliance and misclassification risk.

  • Reliable payroll
  • Slow or costly provider switches
  • In their words: “employer of record”

Market

Competitive landscape

4 competitors compared: Deel, Remote, Oyster and Multiplier.

  • Gap to exploit: Recruitment plus EOR as one offer
  • Deel: Less hands-on recruitment
  • Remote: Name close to RemotePeople causes confusion both ways
