What is Rivermate?
Rivermate is an Amsterdam-based Employer of Record founded in 2020 by Lucas Botzen. Now part of the Hightekers Group (France), Rivermate has grown through acquisitions of Serviap Global and Eos Global Expansion to offer owned entities in 40+ countries and partner coverage in 150+ more. They differentiate through transparent flat-rate pricing (no percentage-of-salary markups), dedicated account managers for every client, and 24/7 human support via Slack, WhatsApp, email, and phone. With over 1,000 clients and EUR 200M+ in annual payroll processed, Rivermate is particularly strong in emerging markets across Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia. Their month-to-month contracts with no setup or termination fees make them attractive to startups and SMBs making their first international hires.
