Deel

Deel is how you go global. Hiring in Argentina, Singapore, or Poland used to mean months of setup with local lawyers. Deel compresses that into days. They’re the Employer of Record in 150+ countries, meaning they’re your legal employer there and handle everything.

Here’s how it works in practice: you hire someone in a country you’ve never done business in. Deel generates a local employment contract, handles payroll in local currency, files taxes, manages benefits. It’s all compliant. You don’t wake up six months later discovering you violated local labor law. For distributed teams, this is life-changing. Your CTO can hire the best engineer in the world without becoming a tax expert.

The trade-off is cost. EOR at $599/month per employee gets expensive when you have 20+ people in different countries. But if you’re hiring globally and moving fast, the alternative is slower hiring or expensive local entities. Deel trades per-employee cost for speed and peace of mind. Most founders making this decision say the speed is worth it.
