Deel review

Deel started as a way to hire and pay people abroad and now sells a full HR system on the same worker profile. Deel HR gives each worker one profile with org chart, job architecture, time off and approvals, and that profile is what payroll runs on. Around it sit an applicant tracking system that hands new hires to onboarding, Engage for reviews, goals, learning and surveys, compensation management with salary insights for 150 or more countries, workforce planning and anonymous reporting. The real advantage is for companies with staff in many countries: Deel can also act as employer of record in 130 or more countries, run a US PEO and manage contractors, so HR data and employment contracts live together. Deel publishes prices for its services, with contractors from $49 and EOR from $599 a month, but not for the HR platform itself, which needs a demo. Domestic-only companies will get more value from simpler tools higher on this list.
