Solving the disconnect with a global-first HR solution

What sets Deel HR apart: Purpose-built for global work

Deel HR in action: One platform for the entire lifecycle

HR teams managing global workforces have long been underserved by traditional tools. Deel HR changes that—built from the ground up for global HR. Unify every worker type across 150+ countries with one intuitive platform that embeds compliance, insights, and automation at every stage.

If you manage HR at a company with workers in multiple countries, you know there’s no shortage of HR platforms. But these platforms weren’t built for the reality HR teams are up against today: global teams, mixed worker types, evolving regulations, and a mess of disconnected systems that don’t talk to each other.

Most teams are left stitching together multiple tools: one system for full-time employees, another for contractors, spreadsheets for compensation planning and performance reviews, and region-specific payroll vendors. The result? Manual work, inconsistent worker experiences, and compliance risks you can’t afford to miss.

The struggle of patching disconnected HR tools

At Deel, as we grew from a team of 100 to thousands, we've experienced it firsthand: managing EORs in the UK, contractors in the Philippines, and direct employees in the U.S. Each requires different contracts, workflows, payroll systems, benefits providers, and compliance oversight. When we looked around, no platform could do it all. So we built our own.

Solving the disconnect with a global-first HR solution

We started with the essentials: a global HRIS designed to simplify the basics—onboarding, time off, document management, org structure, and global reporting—all on a single platform and built to support every worker type. From there, we added a full talent management suite for performance, learning, and growth.

Today, Deel HR is a global-first platform that unifies every worker type and region into one system. From workforce planning and immigration support to benefits and compensation, Deel HR brings the entire worker lifecycle into a single platform, with compliance embedded at every step. Think localized contracts, real-time alerts, and workflows tailored by country.

Before Deel HR, we juggled spreadsheets and tools; now everything is in one place, giving us full visibility and saving significant time.

What sets Deel HR apart: Purpose-built for global work

Deel HR was purpose-built to manage global complexity—from multi-country teams and mixed worker types to real-time compliance and actionable insights. It’s an HR system that evolves with your team so you can streamline work, stay compliant, and keep people at the center of every decision.

Global-first design

Unlike retrofitted, U.S.-centric systems, Deel HR is built from the ground up for global complexity, supporting 150+ countries with localized features and insights.

All worker types, one system

Employees, contractors, and EORs, all managed in one platform with consistent and compliant experiences across the board.

Integrated workflows

Performance reviews connect to comp planning. Compensation bands link to headcount plans. Deel HR ties it all together—so every workflow moves in sync, and every module works better together.

Compliance, everywhere

Deel HR embeds country-specific compliance guidance into every module, reducing legal risk without slowing you down.

Flexible data structures

Set up approval processes and assign roles for managers, directors, VPs, and more. Customize roles, workflows, job architecture, policies, and field names—by country, region, or worker type—so the system reflects how your teams actually operate.

The platform is both extensible and general: extensible in that it can accommodate countless edge cases, but also general in that it standardizes all of my headcount in a way that's easy to view and manage on a single pane.

Scalable for every stage

Whether you're onboarding your first employee or preparing for an IPO, Deel HR scales with you. Add modules, connect tools, and scale without the sprawl.

AI-powered insights, global visibility

From salary benchmarks and headcount reporting to automated job descriptions, Deel HR gives you the data to lead with confidence.

Simplicity at every touchpoint

Intuitive, self-serve tools make life easier for HR teams, managers, and employees. Teams can save 95+ hours per month on HR admin tasks alone—freeing time to focus on people, not process.

From sponsoring visas to running payroll in multiple countries, Deel lets us manage the whole journey with total confidence.

Deel HR in action: One platform for the entire lifecycle

Manage your global workforce from planning to offboarding—do it all here.

And because it connects seamlessly with Deel Payroll and Deel IT, HR, finance, and IT teams work together in one platform, with zero data gaps or tool switching.

Deel saves me 3-4 days every month on expenses alone, it's a full day back. But here's the real test: if we stopped using Deel tomorrow, we'd need to hire at least three people just to handle what it does today.
