Remote, a seven-year-old payroll company headquartered in Amsterdam, announced it has crossed $300 million in annual recurring revenue and achieved cash-flow positive status. But the metric the company is most excited about is a 50% increase in revenue per employee—without adding any new headcount. CEO Job van der Voort credits this efficiency surge to embedding AI tools throughout every department, not just engineering or executive functions. Van der Voort described his own workflow to illustrate the shift. "As we are talking, on the second screen of my laptop, I have five different Claude instances running, building different things," he said. Beyond the CEO's productivity setup, Remote has deployed a Slack agent that automatically summarizes team discussions and is experimenting with more advanced agentic AI systems. The company built Remote Labs, an internal marketplace where employees across all functions can launch AI-powered applications—sharing the same technology the company now offers to its clients. The strategy extends beyond Remote's internal operations. The company launched Remote Build, which Van der Voort describes as "forward-deployed engineers" who work directly with customers and prospects to create custom AI-powered workflows within their organizations. This mirrors what Remote has accomplished internally, and the company is now selling that expertise to clients navigating global employment compliance. "We know that we're ahead of most companies in that sense," Van der Voort said. Remote's core payroll business grew more than 300% year over year, a trajectory the company attributes largely to its AI-first approach—though these figures have not been independently verified. Remote currently serves tens of thousands of companies worldwide. The company says its workforce found relief from repetitive compliance and bureaucratic tasks, freeing employees to focus on higher-value work as the AI handles more operational burden.
