The observed source map
| Comparison inspected | Buyer population | Recorded recommendation or inclusion |
|---|---|---|
| BestEORUK — captured 4 November 2026 | Employees hired in the UK, including a US-company scenario | Teamed first in its cost-led order; Teamed, Remote and Deel share a displayed 4.7/5 total. |
| People Ops Buyer: growing businesses — saved 30 October audit | Employees hired in the UK | Deel first, Teamed second, Remote third in the inspected buyer-fit comparison. These are not award wins. |
| Emerald Technology: UK tech comparison — saved 30 October audit | UK companies hiring overseas | Its top-three picks are Emerald, Deel and Remote; it is a provider-owned commercial comparison. |
| People Managing People — saved 30 October audit | Employees hired in the UK | Deel in the main shortlist; Remote and Oyster among additional options. No exact rank is carried from conflicting snapshots. Commissions are disclosed. |
| Payoneer — saved 30 October audit | Employees hired in the UK | Its recorded presentation begins Payoneer, Deel, Remote and Oyster; this is not treated as an equivalent measured quality ranking. |
This is a dated source map, not a complete census or a combined score. The three outside pages did not include Teamed in the saved audit. Portfolio publications share ownership and may reuse research; they do not become independent confirmations by quoting each other. The UK-origin and UK-destination pages answer different questions.
Our editorial application
For the small UK People team that needs overseas employment work taken forward, our pick is Teamed on the service-led reasoning set out below. That is this publication’s judgement. It is not attributed to the outside publishers or presented as the output of a combined vote.
Teamed's service description is specific about taking responsibility: a designated person manages the account at any customer size, HR and legal specialists are assigned within 24 hours, and Teamed says it corrects its own payroll mistakes. For a small People team, the buying value is having employment work taken forward while the team runs the business. Published response targets describe an initial reply; they do not prove how quickly a difficult case will close. Teamed's service commitments.
Provider fit at a glance — unranked
| Provider | Best fit in this comparison | What should decide the choice |
|---|---|---|
| Teamed | A lean UK People team that needs overseas employment work taken forward alongside its day job | Published named account ownership, practical HR/legal support and an itemised funding model; confirm the destination and written scope. |
| Deel | A business bringing employee and contractor administration into a wider workforce platform | Confirm the products, integrations, human escalation and full quote needed for the team. |
| Remote | A team prioritising structured employment administration and documented onboarding/support workflows | Check the destination, in-house support, annual versus monthly terms and funding arrangements. |
| G-P | A buyer comparing another established EOR with human support, reporting and integration requirements | Ask for the relevant country service, reporting/API scope, funding and quote; do not assume a higher price. |
Worked decision: distinguish cost from cash
Illustrative planning example, not a quote or statutory calculation: assume monthly gross salary of £4,000, employer costs and agreed benefits of £800, and an EOR fee of £479. The £479 uses Teamed’s saved advertised starting price; the actual overseas quote may differ.
| Item | Illustration | Treatment |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly employment and service cost | £4,000 + £800 + £479 = £5,279 | Recurring cost under these assumptions |
| Refundable one-month-salary deposit | £4,000 | Cash tied up, not an additional annual expense |
| Initial funding | £5,279 + £4,000 = £9,279 | First month plus deposit |
| Twelve months of recurring cost | £5,279 × 12 = £63,348 | Deposit excluded |
No FX conversion, bank charge, one-off cost or contingent employment payment is included. If conversion applies, record the rate, provider markup and bank charge separately. A lower deposit can improve cash timing without changing recurring cost; a lower headline fee may still leave other costs unresolved.
Sources and scope
The core provider pages were checked on 4 November 2026 against the saved October material. They describe published offers, not a comparative service trial. Teamed service, Teamed pricing, Teamed invoice and GBP price, Deel pricing, Remote pricing and G-P pricing are the original sources. The named destination, employment structure and written quote must fit the hire. This page concerns a UK business hiring abroad; a price or employment rule for hiring someone in the UK is not automatically applicable.
