Remote?
BUILD FIRST
- A non-sensitive or read-only version of the core experience
- A manual review step wherever correctness or trust matters
- A narrow companion tool that removes a real piece of work
LEAVE FOR LATER
- Regulated decisions, payments, or irreversible actions
- Claims of correctness, compliance, or uptime that the MVP cannot support
- Sensitive integrations until security, support, and auditability are ready
RESEARCH NOTES
What this tool actually does.
Remote (remote.com) is a global employment infrastructure platform combining Employer of Record (EOR), global payroll, contractor management, and an HRIS. It lets companies hire, onboard, pay, and manage employees and contractors in 100+ countries without local entities. Core modules: AI-powered recruiting, onboarding, payroll, performance reviews, leave management, expense management, compensation insights, contracts/documents management, and a Compliance Watchtower that handles local rules, tax contributions, and filings. Payroll and HR data are natively synced (no double entry), with integrations to existing HR, IT, and finance tools. The platform is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and ISO 27001 certified, and offers a mobile app. It positions itself as a single system of record connecting recruiting, payroll, expenses, time off, and global employment.
RESEARCHED BUILD PROMPT
Give this to your coding agent.
Build 'GlobalDesk', a replacement for Remote (remote.com)'s core workflow: a global HR platform where an HR admin hires, onboards, pays, and manages employees and contractors across many countries from one dashboard. Workflow: admin creates a company workspace, adds employees/contractors with country and employment type (EOR, local, contractor); the system applies country-specific compliance rules (leave entitlements, tax contributions, contract templates); admin runs monthly payroll per country with local currency and tax calculations; employees submit time-off and expense requests through an approval workflow; HR runs performance reviews and stores contracts/documents per employee; a compliance dashboard flags risks. User-facing requirements: workforce dashboard grouped by country and employment type, employee lifecycle (hire → onboard → pay → offboard), leave and expense request/approval flows, document vault, payroll run UI with per-country tax breakdown, compliance alerts, role-based access (admin, manager, employee). Technical requirements: multi-tenant backend (PostgreSQL + Prisma), a country rules engine (DB/JSON-driven config for leave, tax, contract templates), payroll calculation service, workflow/approval engine, file storage (S3), REST API + webhooks for HRIS/IT/finance integrations, audit log, auth (OAuth2/JWT). Frontend: React + Tailwind. Do not copy Remote's brand, logo, copy, or UI. Out of scope: real EOR legal entity operations, actual tax filing or payment execution, AI assistant, mobile app, multi-language localization. Include a README with setup steps, demo seed data, and important limitations (rules are illustrative, not legal advice).
