Hey Product Hunt 👋 I’m Eric from PIO.
One thing we kept running into while expanding globally was how complicated hiring in another country actually is. It’s not just about finding the right person.
You have to deal with local regulations, contracts, payroll setup, taxes, and compliance requirements that vary from country to country. Even a simple question like “what’s the actual total cost of hiring someone in another country, including taxes and compliance” turns out to be hard to answer. You end up checking multiple systems, looking up local rules, and piecing everything together just to get a number you can trust.
That’s why we built PIO.
PIO helps you hire, onboard, and pay talent in 150+ countries without setting up entities. You no longer have to deal with multiple tools or spend hours on manual payroll work.
Everything is handled in one place. With PIO Agent, you don’t manage workflows anymore. You just ask, get answers, and take action instantly based on your actual payroll data.
Curious to hear from you:
What’s been the hardest part of hiring globally?
How do you currently figure out hiring costs across countries?

It sounds great to streamline global hiring, but how do you handle the local nuances and pitfalls that vary even within regions?

@trydoff Great question. PIO is built with country-specific compliance baked in, so local rules, taxes, and requirements are handled within the system rather than left to guesswork. We also keep everything updated, so teams can move fast without missing local nuances.

The EOR setup let us skip the whole local entity process. Saved us months of legal work.

@s_cen PIO Genie was exactly born for handling tons of work for you, freeing you from workloads.
Foundire
@s_cen That's exactly the value PIO is built for. We help teams skip the local entity setup and move faster with EOR.
It's more about trust in the output. If someone is making payroll or hiring decisions across countries, even small inaccuracies can have real consequences.
How are you thinking about building confidence in those answers, especially when it’s coming through an agent?
Foundire
@arun_tamang Great question. When you’re dealing with payroll or compliance, even small errors can have real consequences. With PIO, the focus isn’t just on generating answers, but on making them verifiable. The agent works on top of structured, continuously updated compliance data, and for critical outputs, it provides a clear breakdown of how the result is derived.

Can we use your app in China to hire foreign talent while remaining fully compliant with local regulations?
Foundire
@charlenechen_123 Sure! Via an EOR setup. In China, foreign hires require strict compliance with visas, permits, and local laws. PIO handles this through a local entity, so you can stay compliant without setting up your own.
Congrats on the launch!! The fact that you can ask something like "what does it actually cost to hire in Germany" and get a real answer instantly is huge. We spent weeks piecing that together across spreadsheets and legal advisors when expanding our team across borders. This is the kind of tool that makes global hiring feel less like a compliance maze and more like something you can actually move fast on.

@ceciliatran PIO agent "Genie" is always there standing by 24/7. Anytime. Anywhere.
Foundire
@ceciliatran Thank you, this means a lot. This is exactly the kind of pain point PIO is built for, and it’s great to hear it resonates from real experience.
The visa sponsorship feature is built right in. Usually that requires a completely separate vendor.
PIO
PIO is always your best one stop global human resource agency! More handy features coming soon.
Foundire
@zack_zheng Yes, that was the goal. We wanted to remove the need for separate vendors and keep everything in one workflow.
