How Bardeen switch to Deel to master global hiring with a compliant EOR provider

Automation has become a hot topic in almost every industry. That’s good news for Bardeen, whose workflow automation platform helps go-to-market teams streamline repetitive tasks directly from their browser. Using natural language and AI-powered agents, Bardeen simplifies workflows like lead research, CRM updates, and outreach, turning multi-step processes into a single click.

Its AI-first design means users simply describe the workflow they want to automate in natural language, and the platform handles the rest—no technical background required.

As demand for Bardeen’s automation platform surged, the company had to expand its team— and the next critical hires were all based in Germany. Bringing those specialists on board, however, wasn’t as simple as sending an offer letter. Employing talent in Germany without a local legal entity meant navigating a maze of labor laws, payroll taxes, and statutory benefits. Bardeen needed a fast, compliant way to hire German employees without getting bogged down in logistics or regulatory risk.

Bardeen initially used Remote to employ one German engineer. It worked—until hiring plans expanded across Europe and beyond.

“Remote was fine for a single hire, but once complexity crept in, we wanted a platform that moved as fast as our product. Deel had the depth we needed.” — Pascal Weinberger, CEO, Bardeen

A trusted recommendation sparked the decision to switch from Remote to Deel, and it quickly proved to be the right move. One demo was enough to prove that Deel’s infrastructure delivered:

• Advanced compliance engine: Support for complex employment models and real‑time compliance monitoring giving Bardeen’s team peace of mind.
• Fast onboarding: Completed 3x faster on average, letting engineers start shipping code the same week offers are signed.
• Comprehensive in‑house services: Immigration support in 70+ countries, IT equipment logistics and lifecycle management in 130+, PEO, US Payroll, and access to 2,000+ HR, legal, and payroll specialists meant the expansion roadmap, not the vendor, sets the hiring limits.
• All‑in‑one stack: Seamless integration with their accounting software—plus 100+ other systems—paired with powerful AI and automation to save time and minimize manual errors.

Deel’s team handled the migration process from start to finish, managing every detail so that Bardeen’s leadership barely had to lift a finger. In fact, the experience was so seamless that the team has all but forgotten it—no downtime, no re-papering, no surprise invoices.

“The switch from Remote to Deel was so smooth I barely remember it—three clicks and we were live on Deel.” — Pascal Weinberger, CEO, Bardeen

For any high-growth startup, having a trusted partner that proactively ensures smooth operations is as critical as the technology itself. With no distractions or complications, Bardeen can stay laser-focused on hiring the right people, wherever they live.

“When we think about scale, Deel makes it effortless—fewer tools, fewer vendors, and no artificial limits on where we can hire.” — Pascal Weinberger, CEO, Bardeen

Bardeen is ramping up its European engineering hub and eyeing additional markets. Every new hire will route through Deel, freeing founders to refine product-market fit and expand stateside—all without revisiting the compliance playbook each time.

By trading a “good-enough” provider for a partner designed for scale, Bardeen gained the speed, reach, and peace of mind it needs to keep building—anywhere talent lives.
