How Platzi hired global talent with Deel

Platzi is an online education platform with more than 1,500 courses and 17 schools in areas such as artificial intelligence, design development and engineering, marketing, business, leadership, professional growth, among others; making it the largest technology school in the Hispanic world.

Only 38% of the global population has accessed higher education, Platzi wants to change this and increase opportunities for people living in Latin America. Platzi is remote first, which allows it to attract the best talent no matter where they are located.

Platzi's dream is to break the cycle of poverty in Latin America through effective online education. Platzi's mission is to develop talents in AI and technology for companies, leaders and creators in Latin America, it is about transforming people's lives through education and for that it needs the best talent in Latin America and throughout the world.

Knowing first-hand the power of technology, Platzi knew they needed a provider that moved fast while following hiring regulations to be able to incorporate talent internationally and compliantly.

Platzi hired more than 30 people in Latin America and beyond, teaming up in Colombia, Mexico, Chile, Spain, Canada, the United States, to name a few. Deel's EOR and Contractor solutions have allowed them to have talent around the world to fulfil their expansion plan, and has not only facilitated hiring but has allowed them to offer added value to their talents: being able to pay them on time and considering personalized requirements. The incorporation of new talent to their team has been practically immediate using Deel as a platform.

Terwijl Freddy en Christian, de oprichters van Platzi, hun droom tussen de reizen door moesten waarmaken, kunnen zij en hun team hun droom nu met een gerust hart en op een comfortabele manier waarmaken, waar ook ter wereld.

Platzi today can rest assured that their contracts made with Deel meet the legal requirements of each country and they can concentrate meeting talent growth needs, without worrying about where they live. That security also translates into time saved. Hiring without having geographical limits expands the offer and obviously speeds up processes.

"Een van de dingen die we hebben opgelost sinds we op afstand werken en met de hulp van Deel, is het aannemen van groot talent zonder te kijken waar de persoon zich bevindt, zonder grote juridische complicaties, maar uitsluitend op basis van de vaardigheden en capaciteiten van de kandidaten. Dat wil zeggen, we kunnen zonder enig ongemak naar talent over de hele wereld zoeken en zonder grote complicaties internationale aanwervingen doen. Deel is in die zin absoluut een geweldige bondgenoot geweest", aldus Adriana Medina, Vice President Human Talent & Platzi ops.

Deel and Platzi come together with the same mission: to give everyone opportunities to change the world through education and work.
