Deel

The best solution for our small company's global-hiring needs remains Deel

Comments: We went with Deel, even though they were slightly more expensive than comparable products, solely for their customer engagement and service factors. They have been a boon to our studio's ability to hire internationally and compliantly, and we could not have done this without them. We consider the Deel teammates assigned to our studio as a part of our overall payroll and HR team and chat with them constantly to better serve our teammates, but also to help improve the overall Deel experience for small businesses like us, who are looking to go global and tap into the talent around the world but lack the means to do it themselves.

Pros:

First and foremost, the customer service is top-notch at Deel. Their teams are responsive, knowledgeable, and also self-aware enough to know when they may not have a ready answer, but they do know how to find and deliver one in a timely manner. We love the flexibility of options for hiring internationally - be it as an EOR or as a contractor but without the overhead of compliance and ensuring we're adhering to international requirements and laws we do not understand. They're also always listening to suggestions about how to provide better services and options, regardless of company size, which as a small company, we greatly appreciate.

Cons:

There are still some rough edges with Deel's billing system and fully fleshing out some optionality within different countries, but while this is something we don't particularly see as a pro - the opportunity that the Deel team has taken to turn cons into wins balances these negatives out. They will work through your understanding and take suggestions -- it's never a "this is it, so deal" from them. They remain collaborative and aware of their weaknesses and areas for improvement. Sometimes billing statements aren't the clearest unless you talk to their support team to decipher them, but we've already seen updates on this front and look forward to continual improvements.

Simple, efficient and compliant EOR service that is value for money

Comments: Deel was a great EOR partner service platform that delivered quality, value for money service throughout its course. We were extremely satisfied with the customer support team which has been ever responsive and kept up with all our queries at all odd times. Definitely a partner worth working with for all our future international hiring that require contract and payroll support

Pros:

Value for money Ease of use Simple, efficient dashboard systems Responsive Customer Support

Cons:

Over-reliance on customer support for easy doubts or query resolutions

Alternatives Considered: Omnipresent

Reasons for Choosing Deel: For us the previous EOR ran into compliance issues that were affecting both invoices billed to company and consequently payroll run to employees.

Switched From: Multiplier

Reasons for Switching to Deel: We had excellent reviews and had also good relations with team who we were to onboard last year in 2022 but ended up choosing a different partner at the time. For us the choice became simpler when the team helped customize the offering to tailor fit all our requirements while promising and delivering o the promise of remaining compliant

Good Support and User Friendly

Pros:

Deel's global reach and support for numerous countries and currencies make it a valuable tool for businesses with international teams.

Cons:

Integrations? It took some time to become fully comfortable with the system and its intricacies.

A very easy to use payment software

Comments: Overall, my experience has been great. My boss asked me to look for ways I could receive payments along with my other team members, I found Deel, and until now, payments are on time, costs are less and we don't have to wait too much time to receive the money on our bank account.

Pros:

I like the fact that I can have a contract and automatically receive my payments on time.

Cons:

I would like to be elegible for a Deel card. Also, the bank where my debit card is associated no longer accept Deel's transactions, but I still can get the money through Swift, which is expensive.

Alternatives Considered: Payoneer

Reasons for Choosing Deel: Costs from PayPal were very high, but the decision was made when the bank didn't accept PayPal no more.

Switched From: PayPal

Reasons for Switching to Deel: Low fees, the hability to have individual contracts and automated invoices. But specially, I read many reviews and were positive.

Global HR Operations Director

Pros:

What like the most is the responsiveness of the custmer services, like sending a ticket and having their response in 24 hours. The account manager connecting us to the resources timely. However, the customer success manager changed frequently.

Cons:

The cost/pricing which is not very friendly to SME like us, when we really need a good long term partner for global expansion and scale up. The flexibility to solutions, or platform, or payroll cycle lag time is long which adding a lot of extra work to the current time. Like we already have our own system to apply leave, and reimbursement, or boarding etc. How to synergize those process between Deel and Appier to make better employee experiences to our employees, who won't feel they are outsider, or different than regular employees.
