Why this drop matters
Running a global team already pulls you in a dozen directions: payroll cut-offs, last-minute visa questions, shadow-IT headaches, budget reviews that start in one spreadsheet and end in five. Over the past three months we shipped 500+ updates to erase that busy-work—so you can spend time on strategy, not admin.
Faster hiring & onboarding
Hiring internationally used to mean juggling research, legal reviews, and manual onboarding. Our newest features remove that friction giving teams the insights, automation, and tools they need to move from planning to onboarding in record time.
What’s new
- Global Hiring Insights Tool – compare salaries, benefits, and compliance rules across countries in seconds.
- Visa Eligibility (AI-powered) – see which permits candidates can get in 50+ countries.
- AI job-scope & offer-letter generation – auto-create compliant job descriptions and offers.
- Instant employment agreements – contracts generate the moment a hire submits basic info (select countries).
- Deel IT auto-provisioning – new workers get app access the moment they’re added.
Benefit: less research, zero copy-paste docs, and day-one readiness for every hire.
A smarter HR backbone
Separate tools for org charts, approvals, and time-off quickly turn into conflicting data silos. Deel HRIS weaves them into a single source of truth, giving HR teams live people insights and automated workflows that scale with every new region.
What’s new
- Job Architecture & Employee Leveling – define Job Families, Profiles, and Levels once; use them everywhere.
- No-code Workflows – trigger tasks on approvals, schedule announcements, and test flows with AI-built simulations.
- Time-Off upgrades – regional holidays auto-load, requests can use 15-minute increments, and managers get balance dashboards.
Why it matters: consistent data, automated ops, and clear policies across regions.
Strategic planning & efficient compensation
Headcount and pay decisions shouldn’t live inside 30-tab spreadsheets. Deel Compensation and Deel Workforce Planning HR, Finance, and Leadership model scenarios in real time, then push approved roles and pay changes straight into ATS and payroll.
What’s new
- Scenario Planning – model “growth”, “freeze”, or “EU expansion” and push approved roles straight to your ATS.
- Salary Planning – eligibility rules, performance-based raise guidance, multi-currency cycles, and audit trails keep reviews on time and on budget.
Why it matters: confident headcount forecasts and data-driven pay decisions.
Payroll clarity & pay flexibility
Employees want instant visibility and flexibility around their pay, while finance needs airtight controls and compliance. That’s why we’ve redefined payday and introducedr new payroll and spend features to bridge that gap—empowering workers with on-demand pay and transparent expenses, and giving finance granular oversight in a single dashboard.
What’s new
- Anytime Pay – employees on Deel EOR can withdraw earned salary on demand, fee-free.
- Expense Cards – virtual/physical cards in 130+ countries with merchant-category controls and automated statements.
- Visual Payslips – earnings, deductions, and changes at a glance.
- Self-serve Payroll Calendar & clearer invoices – edit cut-off/pay dates and see line-item cost breakdowns.
Why it matters: fewer “What’s this deduction?” tickets, improved employee satisfaction and retention, and greater control and clarity for finance.
We're not just improving payroll — we're transforming how teams get paid, spend, and stay in control.
Built-in AI & knowledge
Whether it’s checking maternity-leave laws in Brazil or drafting a region-ready job description, teams lose hours hunting for authoritative answers. Deel AI and the Knowledge Hub surface those insights instantly—pairing conversational guidance with ever-current country rules, benchmarks, and bite-size learning paths.
What’s new
- Knowledge Hub – country-specific compliance guides and upcoming law changes, embedded inside Deel.
- Deel AI upgrades – 200+ guided walkthroughs, a unified support inbox, and instant benchmarking queries.
- Deel Academy – bite-size courses and certifications to level-up your team.
Why it matters: faster decisions, less Googling, and airtight compliance.
What’s next
Coming in Q3: revamped Time Tracking, granular permissions, and org-simulation tools for headcount scenarios. Stay tuned—this is just the beginning.
