Our take
Omnipresent's founders realised that entrepreneurs face many challenges when starting a business that requires managing a remote team. The company works with clients to fulfil two main needs: growing the business by accessing the best global talents, and providing every employee with the tools and support that will make them feel part of the team regardless of where they are.
Business executives have traditionally rejected the prospect of shifting from a colocated office to a fully distributed workforce, even though the superiority of remote workforces has been validated in many contexts, but this has changed in light of recent events. Many believe the future of work is global, hence Omnipresent's global employment solutions can equip companies with the tools to take advantage of these emerging trends and operate internationally.
Many companies still find it too costly, complex and time consuming to employ workers internationally. The challenge Omnipresent is trying to overcome is to centralise this complexity and provide its clients (and their remote workers) with a cost effective, simplified and legally compliant employment experience. Omnipresent practices what it preaches too, with a 10x growth of its remote workforce in 2021 and a Series B funding round the following year that is helping it to build out its products and services, alongside geographic expansion.
