How Large Organizations Scale Global Talent Deployment

If you’re exploring more strategic ways to scale global talent deployment, you’re not alone. A KPMG survey shows that 72% of large organizations now prioritize aligning their mobility strategies with overall business goals.

Another 70% use global mobility to attract, develop, and retain key talent.

But while the value of global talent deployment is clear, execution can be challenging. EY’s 2024 survey on employee mobility found that 71% of employers think cross-border mobility risks have grown in the last two years.

Problems often arise when relocating employees to countries where you lack entities. For example:

• Managing hiring, visa sponsorship, and immigration through separate providers increases costs and slows processes
• Relying on multiple Employers of Record (EORs) to cover different countries fragments the employee experience
• Temporary relocations or project-based moves make setting up a local entity financially impractical

Deel solves all these challenges through its global people platform, powered by the latest technological advancements in automation and AI. It brings together hiring, visa sponsorship, immigration support, and entity setup in one solution.

In this article, we’ll explore how Deel helps you enter new markets quickly, scale your presence compliantly, and manage global talent mobility with less overhead.

Make quick market entry with Deel EOR visa sponsorship

Timely action is critical when entering new markets. This is especially true when you need to establish early market leadership or capitalize on emerging trends. But setting up a legal entity and managing immigration processes from scratch can take months.

Deel’s EOR visa sponsorship and in-house immigration services eliminate that delay. Through its 150+ owned entities, Deel enables you to:

• Hire specialized global talent and relocate them to your target markets
• Relocate internal employees with critical company knowledge to these countries
• Hire local talent with market knowledge, language skills, and cultural insights

Your employees can start working on clients’ projects fast. They do not have to wait for your company to register locally or obtain the necessary business licences.

Plus, it keeps you from establishing a permanent presence before confirming a market’s viability.

Deel lets you self-verify an employee’s visa eligibility before initiating the visa procurement process. You get results within 48 hours. This gives you real-time, accurate insights into country-specific visa requirements, costs, and timelines for easier planning.

From there, create an EOR contract on the platform. Then initiate the visa sponsorship and procurement process using a single workflow.

You and the relocating employee get a complete overview of the process. This includes updates on completed steps, a clear breakdown of upcoming steps with their requirements, and expected timelines.

Through the dashboard, employees can view their required steps, self-upload documents, and request assistance.
