How Slevomat scaled international teams with Deel

Slevomat is a leading Czech-Slovak marketplace for travel and local experiences. To maintain its regional footprint, the company relies on a distributed team of account managers stationed across Italy, Germany, and Croatia.

Following a change in ownership, Slevomat needed to maintain its international presence. With a lean HR team of two people handling the international agenda, Tereza Tkáčová, People Partner Lead, had to find a way to employ 5 people abroad within a high-stakes, three-week timeline.

"The transition required managing international employee concerns and very tight timelines." —Tereza Tkáčová, People Partner Lead, Slevomat

After evaluating local agencies that lacked the necessary global coverage, speed, and response times, Slevomat selected Deel. Tkáčová chose the Employer of Record (EOR) model to offload the burden of local legislation and administrative tasks.

During the sensitive transition phase, when employees were initially suspicious of the change, Deel’s in-country specialists provided support through calls to answer complex questions and build confidence.

"We see the benefit in not having to focus on local legislation and having local specialists to ask questions." —Tereza Tkáčová, People Partner Lead, Slevomat

By partnering with Deel, Slevomat successfully transitioned its international workforce while keeping its internal HR scope manageable.

Onboarding new hires is fast: once information is entered into the system, it's processed within hours or days. Managers handle expense approvals directly through Deel, without looping in HR. And Slevomat receives country-specific compliance updates—like pay transparency changes in Croatia—as they happen, without having to track them down.

The result is a lean team with a genuinely international reach, and the headspace to stay focused on what matters: growing the business.
