My company hires remote staff worldwide. We use Deel and Remote and normally include time zone rather than location if it's relevant. There are countries where we don't hire for geopolitical reasons like China. Having staff in those locations can make it complicated if you seek funding (including loans).

Having said this most companies I encounter that have overseas workforces set up local corporations where staff work in proper offices. We have a lot of customers so I see this a lot.
