    TL;DR Deel Hire is the best EOR software as per G2’s latest Fall 2026 Grid Report for employer of record software, earning the highest G2 score of 96. Here are the other top-rated EOR providers I evaluated, broken down by use case: Remote: Best for fully owned global infrastructure and compliance-first hiring Rippling: Best for unified HR, IT, and global workforce management Multiplier Employer of Record: Best for fast global hiring with localized payroll and compliance G-P: Best for enterprise-grade global hiring with deep compliance expertise RemotePeople: Best for easy employee onboarding and self-service These are the six best EOR software platforms for 2027, ranked by G2 Score in the Fall 2026 Grid® Report: Deel Hire, Remote, Rippling, Multiplier Employer of Record, G-P, and RemotePeople.
