Hey Product Hunt 👋 I’m Eric from PIO.
One thing we kept running into while expanding globally was how complicated hiring in another country actually is. It’s not just about finding the right person.
You have to deal with local regulations, contracts, payroll setup, taxes, and compliance requirements that vary from country to country. Even a simple question like “what’s the actual total cost of hiring someone in another country, including taxes and compliance” turns out to be hard to answer. You end up checking multiple systems, looking up local rules, and piecing everything together just to get a number you can trust.
That’s why we built PIO.
PIO helps you hire, onboard, and pay talent in 150+ countries without setting up entities. You no longer have to deal with multiple tools or spend hours on manual payroll work.
Everything is handled in one place. With PIO Agent, you don’t manage workflows anymore. You just ask, get answers, and take action instantly based on your actual payroll data.
Curious to hear from you:
What’s been the hardest part of hiring globally?
How do you currently figure out hiring costs across countries?

The EOR setup let us skip the whole local entity process. Saved us months of legal work.

@s_cen PIO Genie was exactly born for handling tons of work for you, freeing you from workloads.

@s_cen That's exactly the value PIO is built for. We help teams skip the local entity setup and move faster with EOR.
The visa sponsorship feature is built right in. Usually that requires a completely separate vendor.

PIO is always your best one stop global human resource agency! More handy features coming soon.
Foundire
@zack_zheng Yes, that was the goal. We wanted to remove the need for separate vendors and keep everything in one workflow.
Congrats on the launch!! The fact that you can ask something like "what does it actually cost to hire in Germany" and get a real answer instantly is huge. We spent weeks piecing that together across spreadsheets and legal advisors when expanding our team across borders. This is the kind of tool that makes global hiring feel less like a compliance maze and more like something you can actually move fast on.

@ceciliatran Thank you, this means a lot. This is exactly the kind of pain point PIO is built for, and it’s great to hear it resonates from real experience.

One thing we learned from running PIO is that more features don’t always make life easier for users. As the system grew, it became harder for people to discover useful functions and understand the right workflow.
We had onboarding and a big knowledge base, but the learning curve was still too high.
So we changed the model: instead of asking users to learn a more complex system, we made PIO agent-driven. Now the agent can help run payroll, catch issues, keep compliance requirements updated, and track things like contract signing progress.
Less software learning, more actual work getting done.

Onboarding a new hire in the UK took about 15 minutes. Really streamlined experience.
