Global hiring has expanded our senior talent pool and supports compliant growth across countries
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Our main use case for Deel is that we have all of our EORs in Deel right now. A specific example of how we use Deel for our EORs is that we have about 60 or 70 EORs across more than 12 countries in Deel, and we use it to hire senior people, directors, VPs, and C-levels while staying compliant and accessing talent all over the world, making it quite a powerful tool for that.
Pros
- What is very helpful for us in Deel is their flexibility and adaptability to our needs; for example, we have our own custom PTO policies that are global and applied to all Supersiders, but every EOR has their own PTO policy in their country, and Deel allows us to work in the back end with them to ensure that local regulations and Superside policies remain compliant while being flexible.
- They also connect with us in Slack, which is critical for us, including not just our CSM or account representative from Deel but also many of their other team members who help us quickly resolve problems.
Cons
- Deel can be improved by making adjustments to contract styles, especially regarding incentives or bonuses, which can be a little tricky, as their legal team sometimes takes their time and doesn't show consistency in what they allow and what they don't.
- When managing an offboarding in Deel, their team feels a little less collaborative than we would like them to, considering that they are the employer, and they tend to go too much on the safe side with perhaps overly generous offboardings or packages that could be less aggressive, but their interest is to close it without any issues, which just transfers the cost to us; sometimes we would appreciate stronger partnership on the legal side.
Likelihood to Recommend
It's great if you need to hire compliantly across many different countries. This enables you to access great talent globally but also helps you attract senior talent in these countries (which might expect to be employees and not contractors) that you would otherwise struggle bringing in. Their PEO service is also quite cost effective and allows you to access great benefits for US folks.
