Cool product! Do employees have the possibility to collect in USD or their salary is always exchanged to local currencies?

@gteix89 Hi! I can answer this one. You have the ability to add a bank account and specify what currency it uses. Since you can add multiple payment methods like this, you can set up a USD bank account as your primary account and it will capture the USD payment without any exchange while other bank accounts may handle other currencies sent to you.

@gteix89 To add what @riddle described the system is super flexible. The client can define the amount and the currency of the payment, while you as a user can define where you’d like to receive the payment and in which currency.

Thanks @sama for hunting us! ❤️ Hi everyone, 👋 I’m Matt, one of the founders of Pilot. When @kolarzowski and I started Pilot in 2017, we set out to create a more worldwide job market. Having had the opportunity to live in many countries throughout my life, I’ve seen first-hand how much your impact and opportunities in life depend on where you happen to be born or live. It always struck me as deeply unfair. Something we’ll look back on hundreds of years from now and think of as quaint at best, and discriminatory at worst. In 2019, we launched our payroll, benefits and compliance platform—making hiring anywhere in the world as easy as a few clicks. Fast-forward to today, we’re helping hundreds of companies hire employees and contractors in over 160 countries around the world, stay compliant, make sure that their employees are treated fairly, and have the same great experience getting paid regardless of where they live. What does it mean in practice? 🌎 All of your employees and contractors, domestic and international, in one place. If you use a different platform for your W-2 payroll, you can easily connect it to Pilot. 📑 All legal and compliance taken care of. We automatically register you for taxes in different states across the U.S., we offer localized contractor agreements for other countries, or can act as the employer of record and take all liability to stay in line with local laws. 💴 Your team gets the best exchange rates and local payment options in the industry, including in traditionally difficult markets like Latin America. We’ve built Pilot from day 1 to work like regular payroll, meaning that if your pay date is Dec 15, you should have money in your account on Dec 15. Without having to juggle different wallets or initiate withdrawals. 🔎 You’ll always know what rules apply to your employees, what currency they’re getting paid in, and what documents we’re asking them to sign. We are strong believers in transparency (inside and outside of the company), and you should never be kept in the dark about your own team. 😍 We have an amazing team ready to support you all. Building any company is hard as it is, and building a remote one can be harder in many ways. We’re here to help. Our team is spread around the world, like many of you are, to make sure that we can always assist you and your team with any questions they may have. I can’t wait to hear what you all think! We’ll be hanging out in the comments to answer any questions. —Matt P.S. If you think Pilot could be a good fit for your team, you can book a demo at pilot.co/demo.

@sama @kolarzowski @matid we're customers and Pilot has made it possible for us, as a small team to have a global workforce; we can focus on finding the best remote talent and not worry about where they are situated. The platform is easy to use and product velocity is high. Today we use Gusto for US and Pilot for international, but we are considering consolidating completely to Pilot!

When covid hit, we had to take our game studio remote. We also went from a US-only team to international. We hired several remote developers/artists (Russia, Turkey, Australia) on a contract basis. We were looking for a solution that would be easy for us to use (we don't have an HR/ops person) and have now been using Pilot for about 6 months. It's been a great product to use and without it, scaling our team internationally would be a pain. The big selling point for us vs. other providers is that our contractors get paid directly into their bank accounts, instead of having an extra step to claim it from a middle-man. Pilot makes our life easier and our employees/contractors happy. How convinced am I about Pilot? I didn't have a Product hunt account and just made one to write this. Their team is fantastic and I look forward to how they evolve the product going forward!

Wow, this is a fantastic comment @robzgg :) I’m going to print it, as helping people get access to companies like yours regardless their location was exactly the reason why we started Pilot.

We use pilot at my work. They’re a US company and I’m Canadian so it’s our solution for getting cross border employees their pay. It’s easy to submit invoices and the UI is intuitive.

Pilot has made international hiring super seamless. While their tooling is great what's been most important to us is having access to the amazing team they've assembled. They actually helped us close a candidate by going above and beyond and helping us sort through some complex immigration related items for one of our candidates. Would highly recommend!

@benjamin_fine immigration can be tricky, so I’m glad we managed to help and you hired the candidate. Thanks for all the nice words!
