Review Methodology​

When RemotePad reviews a company or its products, it follows the process below: 

1. The registration and compliance status of the company is checked. 
   This includes checking the commercial register of the country where the company is based to check for any compliance action. For any regulated industries (such as Professional Employer Organizations in the United States), the relevant registry is checked. Finally, court and case registries are checked to assess whether the company has been subject to litigation.
   
   
2. The accreditation and/or certification status of the company is checked, where applicable.
   For example, in the US this means checking PEOs with the Employer Services Assurance Corporation (ESAC) and the Internal Revenue Service.
   
   
3. Thousands of customer reviews are analyzed to gather extensive information on the company’s performance.
   Trustpilot, G2, Capterra, LinkedIn, Facebook, Quora and Reddit are used to gain the fullest possible picture of a company’s performance.
   
   
4. The company website is reviewed to find out core product and pricing information and to assess the website for user experience.
   
   
5. Direct experience — where team members have first-hand experience with a company and its products, this is also factored into the review.
   
   
6. Peer review and fact-checking. 
   All reviews are independently fact-checked by a professional with experience in the industry.
