Why RemotePeers
Why RemotePeers vs. other consulting firms.
We built RemotePeers because the existing options force clients and candidates to accept trade-offs neither side should have to make. Here's how we compare, plainly, for each side.
Them
Typical IT consulting
Candidate-as-commodity
- Public job boards
- 4–6 weeks of pipeline
- Hidden vendor markups
- Unpaid bench, no prep
Us
RemotePeers
Candidate-first, on purpose
- Private 1M+ network
- ~10 business days
- Flat, transparent fee
- Coaching + paid bench
Built differently, on purpose
Candidate-first
Active interview and delivery support, not just placement.
1M+ private network
Founders, execs, and individual clients — not a public job board.
Immigration-aware
H-1B, TN, OPT/CPT, STEM OPT, EB-2/EB-3 where eligible.
Pay parity
Same role, same band — regardless of nationality.
Discretion by default
NDAs before names. Always.
Global reach, US hours
US, LATAM, or anywhere the candidate can work your hours.
