Attracting high-quality talent continues to be a major challenge for businesses. Nearly nine in ten companies say they either have a skills gap or expect to within a few years. Without the right skills, organisations are less likely to build and deliver the products and services their customers expect today.
Could hiring the right staff in other geographies be a way out? More people than ever are looking for flexible employers, but at the same time, they want, and expect, an overall employee experience that meets their needs. That includes benefits, remuneration and support that is local and relevant to them.
Technology might have made remote work more feasible, but it has not changed the regulatory requirements for employing people in multiple locations.
While more people are open to, and often actively seeking, remote work, many businesses are unaware of the complexities of hiring staff in other countries.

This is where Teamed comes in. Teamed offers growing companies a way to rapidly hire, pay and care for new talent in multiple countries. Teamed democratises employment by supporting more than 220 companies to build high-performing teams, hiring and retaining staff based on merit, not location.

Founded by entrepreneur Antony Vallee, Teamed launched in 2020 to democratise employment and help make it easy for businesses to hire, pay and take care of their remote workforces. By handling local regulations, payroll, benefits and onboarding, Teamed allows companies to hire talent based on merit, not location, overcoming skill shortages and capability gaps to build high-performing, diverse teams cost-effectively and at scale.
Last year (2022) the startup announced a £2.5 million seed round, led by the investment group Blackfinch alongside Nexus Investments and 1818 Venture Capital.
