Global HR platform for hiring, paying, and managing employees and contractors in 150+ countries — offering Employer of Record, global payroll, and compliance services.
Deel is the global hiring and payroll platform that lets a company in one country hire someone in another, either as a contractor or as a full-time employee via Deel's local entities (Employer of Record). We picked it because for the modern distributed team, Deel has the broadest country coverage, the cleanest contractor onboarding flow and the most aggressive product velocity in the EOR category.
You create a worker in Deel, choose contractor or EOR, pick the country and Deel generates the locally compliant contract, runs identity and right-to-work checks, sets up the payment method (bank transfer, Wise, Payoneer, crypto, Revolut) and handles withholding where applicable. For EOR, Deel becomes the legal employer in-country, runs payroll on local rules, manages statutory leave and termination, and invoices you in your home currency. Deel HR (free up to 200 employees) handles org chart, time off, documents and onboarding for any worker.
Deel IT bolts on device lifecycle management; Deel Engage adds performance and engagement; Deel Immigration handles visas in supported countries.
Contractor management is $49/contractor/month and includes contract generation, payments and tax form collection (W-9, W-8BEN, 1099 generation). EOR pricing starts around $599/employee/month for low-cost countries and rises to $1,000+/month for higher-burden jurisdictions; the rate covers the EOR fee but not the employee salary, employer taxes or statutory benefits. Deel HR is free up to 200 employees, then $20/employee/month. Global Payroll (running payroll where you have your own entity) is sales-quoted. Deposits or security deposits are not standard.
