Deel

Deel is the all-in-one payroll and HR platform for global teams, built on owned payroll infrastructure across 150+ countries and used by 35,000+ companies including LEGO, Puma, and Klarna (all company-reported figures). In August 2025 it launched Deel AI Workforce, a hub for creating and managing AI agents on top of its HR and payroll data, shipping with seven specialized agents: a Hiring Guru that recommends sourcing countries by role and budget, a PTO agent that flags coverage gaps, a compliance agent that geolocates IP addresses against local tax rules, and a workforce-planning agent for shift coverage, among others. Earlier 2025 releases added Deel Talent (in-platform staffing agency connections), AI-driven workforce planning and compensation modules, a visa eligibility tool covering 50+ countries, and real-time payroll in 53+ markets. Deel was valued at $17.3 billion with over $1 billion in ARR as reported in 2026 press. Pricing is quote-based and the platform is strongest for companies hiring across borders; domestic-only small teams may find it more than they need.
