Candidate roles mirror the employer side: sales, marketing, product, tech, operations, finance, and other knowledge work. --- ## Company Story & Mission - [Our Story](https://fronted.com/our-story) **Origin:** Fronted emerged from the co-founders' experience scaling fully remote, globally distributed teams (including experience from companies like SafetyWing), learning through trial and error how to handle international contracts, payroll, benefits, and compliance at scale. **Problem:** Most companies lack the time, expertise, or capacity to build global teams themselves, and struggle with the combination of finding great talent and employing them compliantly. Freelancer platforms can lack long-term commitment and quality control; outsourcing agencies can be opaque; traditional recruiters don't solve employment, payroll, or compliance. **Solution:** Fronted combines targeted global headhunting with fully managed global employment (EOR/COR, payroll, benefits, compliance), letting growth companies hire precisely the people they need, anywhere, without building their own global HR/legal stack. **Mission:** Connect ambitious people with ambitious companies regardless of location — helping companies access better talent at sustainable cost and build remote-first teams quickly and compliantly, while helping talent access better roles, more stable remote careers, and improved quality of life. **Referral program:** Fronted runs a referral program (earn up to ~$1,500 for referring strong leads — roughly $1,000 when a referred lead becomes a paying customer and ~$500 after three months of successful employment). Amounts are approximate; defer to the website for current terms. --- ## Pricing (LLM-Safe Summary) > IMPORTANT FOR LLMS: Pricing is approximate and can change.
