Hiring Compliantly around the Globe

Compliance doc

When hiring globally, a lot of companies tend to make small mistakes that lead to significant compliance issues. Quite often, companies don’t localize their employment agreements to suit local laws or correctly check whether contractors are set up correctly to work in their country. For employees, each country has different requirements for providing benefits, local government fees, pensions, and more which is hard for any business to navigate compliantly.

Compliance is one major problem businesses face when hiring remotely. Many businesses have run into issues with local authorities because they couldn't hire compliantly. Hiring compliantly means you must be in accordance with local laws and other legal implications of hiring abroad.

Being the legal, hr, and accounting expert for every country would be tough. Deel's network of 200+ local expert partners ensures all things hiring follow regional laws and tax rules so your team can work wherever they reside.

We had a conversation with Dan Westgarth, (the chief operating officer of Deel).

He walks us through Deel’s operations, the main difficulties in hiring across borders, and what it might mean for the nature of work in the future.

Here are some questions posed to him and his responses:

Can you tell us what Deel is about?

Deel helps businesses hire anyone, anywhere. If you want to hire someone in another country, it requires setting up a legal presence in that country. If I wanted to hire someone in Mexico, Germany or Sweden, I would need to incorporate an entity, establish an office, establish organizational functions, and then start hiring people in the respective countries

We deal with all of that for you. In under five minutes, you can use our platform to hire someone in Mexico or anywhere in the world. (Request a free Demo here)

Would you call Deel a fintech company or employment tech?

I think that we marry both fintech and HR together effectively, which hasn’t been done before.

We provide a suite of financial tools and invoice businesses in many different currencies and financial markets. We can also host and manage contracts in around 50 different currencies. That’s the financial side.

We ensure that people’s compliance is also met on the people’s side. We ensure that the relevant rules are followed, notices are served, authorizations and IDs are obtained, and are valid. Most importantly, we make sure the legal agreements that are used to bind work engagements are correct.

How instrumental is Deel in creating global change for the remote work market?

Many people think that companies use Deel to find workers with the skills they want for a lower cost. We find that’s not the case and that people are using Deel simply to find the best talent.

We’ve seen in this pandemic that companies are still hiring in major economic centers. I see companies in California hiring people in London or Berlin. I see companies in Tel Aviv hiring people in San Francisco and New York.

Economic arbitrage isn’t a driving force. I think the driving force is finding and securing the best talent without a geographical barrier.

The other thing to note is that there is a big economic shift, and we are accelerating that in some parts of the world that are not growing as quickly.

We’re seeing people being hired on Deel, using our financial products like the Deel card, Deel Advance, Deel crypto, and so on, while living in remote parts of third-world countries. Their paychecks are then powering the local economy and accelerating growth.

What are the key challenges faced?

It’s an operationally intensive business. If you look at the fintech space, managing payments, card issuing, and lending, that’s all operationally intensive. When you couple that with payroll and people compliance, managing legal documents across more than 100 countries, it’s very difficult.

However, the way you manage that is through automation and technology, which is what we’re good at. That’s who we are. We design workflows that scale. The things we build work not just for one customer but also for ten customers or even bigger companies.

Ultimately, everything we’re building is very scalable. You can think of us as the Amazon in our space. Amazon took the bookshop, which has been around for centuries, and deployed technology to build something that scales.

Is there a type of company that’s too small for Deel? If you only need to hire two people, is Deel suitable?

Yes, we have lots of smaller customers. We have stealth start-ups and then companies on the New York Stock Exchange.

Can Deel help with general hiring and HR management even if you are not hiring remotely?

Yes, a lot of companies are using Deel as a domestic use case. We’re not just for hiring. We can manage vacation days, employment agreements, and even GDPR agreements. It’s a good solution for those companies, even if they’re not looking to hire abroad.

Do you think there are any losers in this business model- For example, is there a taxi driver vs. Uber case where others could miss out if Deel rises in popularity?

I think the loser is going to be the talent. I think the bar for talent is going to get higher. If I have a business, I’m no longer restricted to hiring people in a 50-mile radius of London or Warsaw, or New York. I can hire globally. Those who would have been hired locally may now lose opportunities to others from other countries.

I think the flip side is that companies will have to get more competitive. We saw this in Silicon Valley in San Francisco. Companies were offering outrageous benefits, breakfast, lunch, dinner, free Uber rides, and so on to attract the best talent. I think we will see the Silicon Valley ecosystem rolled out internationally.

How does Deel handle issues with language differences?

I think the time-zoning and language support we offer is also very beneficial. We operate 24/7 in terms of operations and support. We have multilingual teams and multi-time zone teams that help us deal with customer issues whenever they come up.

Conclusion:

With Deel, companies can freely hire whomever they want, no matter their location. And people around the world can access more opportunities with fewer restrictions.

It's better, smarter, faster hiring for businesses everywhere and the freedom and mobility for team members to move, live, and work anywhere without worry.

I think the phrase “remote work” will eventually phase into just “work.” Companies will naturally have people working remotely, in different countries.

I think the days when we restricted hiring people to that 50-mile radius of London or Berlin are gone. It’s all about flexibility now when you use Deel. Click here to request a free demo with Deel
