Deel

Deel has become the go-to platform for companies hiring and paying remote workers across international borders, solving the immensely complex challenge of global employment compliance without requiring companies to establish legal entities in every country where they hire. With support for hiring in over 150 countries, Deel enables businesses of any size to access global talent pools that were previously only available to multinational corporations.

Employer of Record (EOR) services are Deel's core offering. Deel acts as the legal employer on behalf of your company in countries where you do not have an entity, handling employment contracts, payroll, tax withholding, benefits administration, and compliance with local labor laws. This means you can hire a developer in Egypt, a designer in the UAE, and a marketing manager in Saudi Arabia without establishing subsidiaries in any of those countries.

Contractor management simplifies the process of engaging freelancers and independent contractors globally. Deel generates locally compliant contracts, handles payments in over 120 currencies, manages tax documentation, and provides the compliance framework needed to avoid misclassification risks — a growing concern as governments worldwide crack down on companies that classify employees as contractors to avoid labor law obligations.

Global payroll consolidates payroll processing across multiple countries into a single platform. Instead of managing separate payroll providers in each country, companies can process payments for their entire global workforce through Deel, with automatic currency conversion, tax calculations, and statutory compliance handled automatically.

The platform provides visa and immigration support, equipment provisioning, and equity grant management — ancillary services that address the practical challenges of managing a distributed workforce. For MENA-based companies expanding globally, or international companies hiring in MENA markets, Deel's knowledge of local regulations across the Gulf states is particularly valuable.

Pricing starts at 49 USD per contractor per month for contractor management. EOR services start at 599 USD per employee per month, which includes full employment compliance, benefits administration, and payroll processing. While the EOR pricing is significant, it is typically a fraction of the cost of establishing and maintaining a foreign legal entity.
