PIO
PIO is a global hiring and payroll system built to remove the friction of working with talent across borders. Instead of forcing companies to set up local entities or stitch together multiple payroll and compliance tools, it brings hiring, onboarding, contractor management, and payments into a single workflow that works across 150+ countries.
At its core, the product is designed around a simple idea: global hiring shouldn’t feel like running a legal and financial operations stack. It should feel like making a decision and having the system handle the rest.
Hiring without entity setup
One of the main problems we kept running into when working with international teams was how quickly complexity stacks up once you hire outside your home country. Different rules, different payment systems, and different compliance requirements usually turn into a full-time operations burden.
PIO removes that layer. You can bring on contractors or full-time hires in different countries without setting up local entities, while still staying compliant and handling payroll in a structured way. The goal here isn’t to abstract reality away, but to make it manageable from one place.
Payroll as something you can just ask for
We also found that most payroll tools are still built like accounting systems — powerful, but slow to navigate. With PIO Agent, we tried a different approach where you can simply ask questions like what it would cost to hire in a specific country or how to structure payments for a contractor, and then act on that directly.
Instead of jumping between dashboards, documents, and calculators, the idea is to collapse that workflow into something closer to a conversation that immediately leads to execution.
Built for teams that move fast
PIO is mostly shaped by how fast-moving teams actually work. When you’re hiring across multiple countries, the bottleneck is rarely intent — it’s execution speed and clarity around constraints.
The system is built to reduce that gap. Whether it’s onboarding someone in a new region, understanding total hiring cost, or handling ongoing payroll, everything is designed to be handled in one place without introducing extra operational layers.
