Helping companies worldwide build their remote teams

Julián created five other businesses before Ontop, including Fitpal, a company that offers a subscription for unlimited access to gyms and fitness centers. He is also a musician, singer, Forbes contributor, and on top of that, he wrote a couple of bestselling books.
Ontop is an end-to-end solution for companies to hire and pay people around the world while complying with rules and regulations.
