Strategic Hire Underscores Company’s Commitment to Investing
in Global Workforce and New Product Offerings

 
REMOTE/London  – Oct. 6, 2021 – As the pandemic continues to facilitate the shift to remote work worldwide, global employment services partner Omnipresent is ramping up its investment in its global workforce and product offerings. Serial scale-up product leader and ex-Google product manager Michael Smith joins the team as the new Vice President of Product and will use his extensive experience to help drive Omnipresent’s international growth phase. In his first effort for Omnipresent,  Smith spearheaded the launch of OmniPlatform’s new integrations with the 24 most popular Human Resource Information Systems (HRISs), such as ADP Workflow, BambooHR, and Personio.

Smith has more than 20 years of experience bringing complex multi-million dollar products and platforms to market, such as Google Ad Exchange, SwiftKey, Fubo.tv, and Prodigy Finance.  “I’ve personally experienced the challenge of international expansion while building engineering and product teams globally, in multiple companies and multiple scales,” said Smith. “We struggled with how to onboard people, pay them, and manage all the other logistics. We thought having our own entity was the only real solution. Now employers can easily find and employ the talent wherever they are, in a market where employees demand that of potential employers. Omnipresent’s value-add here is clear.


“Companies are increasingly looking globally to recruit the best talent and stay competitive in a global economy. We will scale with them, innovating and improving our Employer of Record product,” added Smith. 

 
This new product software integration comes on the heels of Omnipresent closing its £11M Series A funding in only five months.

Human Resources Information System Integrations


Remote work is here to stay and companies wanting to stay competitive are looking for user-friendly, integrated software that will help smooth an often complex onboarding process. Omnipresent new integrations to its OmniPlatform make adding new employees anywhere in the world even easier.
 

“This integration gives our clients a unified application programming interface (API) that immediately provides the ability to smoothly handoff data between HR systems and Omnipresent,” said Tibet Fonteyne, Omnipresent Head of Product. "Our clients have given us some great feedback on their workflows, and we're very excited to be able to respond to that by integrating with the top HR systems in one pass. This is just the start; we're looking forward to working with our clients to deepen these integrations so they become even more useful."

 
When onboarding a new employee through the OmniPlatform, managers can now pull information from any of the 24 different HRISs. Once selecting the employee they wish to employ through Omnipresent from their existing HRIS, the information is instantly pulled into the OmniPlatform. This new feature is the first step along the journey of allowing managers to stay within their HRIS as much as possible, simplifying their workflow.

 
Omnipresent currently partners with hundreds of businesses to help with the complexities of global remote work, including compliance, payroll and benefits. The company reached its goal of extending its international coverage to 80 countries by the end of 2020, and can now service more than 155 countries worldwide. 

 “We will continue to grow our product to help clients employ anyone, anywhere, and in any way,” acknowledged Smith.
