Unified HR platform has streamlined global hiring, reduced onboarding work, and improved reviews
There are some minor things that I am looking forward to seeing improved in Deel, such as employment types. For example, I hire a lot of interns and there isn't a specific employment type for intern. There are employment types for direct employee, contractor and similar, but nothing for interns. There is a way to work around it by saying an intern is actually a direct employee and then implementing a custom field, but it would be really good if there was a general field to recognize interns as a part of the workforce. That is something that comes to mind. I think there are still some things that Deel will improve over time and then I will be happy to give it a 10 out of 10. Given the fact that it is still a fairly new HRIS system, there are minor improvements that can be made from that perspective of purely admin work, for example, correcting data in the fields once you import them when changing a salary. If I input one salary incorrectly, I need to import another line. I cannot just correct the previous field, which some of the other HRIS systems allow. This way, on one hand I have full tracking of all the logs so I am not missing if someone corrected something or did any changes, but on the other hand, it also remains visible in the logs. Even if it is a small human error, there is no way to make it very well structured and polished when I am drawing, for example, a historical report of all the salary changes. Such things are minor improvements that I believe would come over time. Once those are implemented, it would be a 10 out of 10.

A scalable solution with good functionalities, but customer support needs to improve
Customer support and getting help from MHR iTrent are not great at all. MHR iTrent concentrates too much on sales, like a selling mechanism. They don't concentrate on helping their existing clients get the most out of the solution. All they're interested in is selling you something else to add on.

"Deel has created a great impact and saved us a lot of time and hard work behind the scenes."
"My advice for others looking into using Deel is to consider it if you need to streamline payroll; it's really straightforward."

Cons

"Regarding pricing, installation costs, and license management with Deel, I find that it is still expensive, but at the same time these are market prices, so I understand the logic."
"The risk assessment process could be improved because, as a billing manager on a contractual agreement, I was flagged as high risk during onboarding, and it took several months to resolve with limited transparency and guidance on how to address the issue."
"Deel can be improved in terms of user interface."
"I think Deel can be improved with quicker support when we open email requests."
"One of the things that I would suggest for Deel to improve is its user interface and navigation because there are times that it can be overwhelming, especially to new users."

"There are some minor things that I am looking forward to seeing improved in Deel, such as employment types."
"Customer support and getting help from MHR iTrent are not great at all."
"MHR's customer service needs to improve. It's dreadful at the moment. They're not very customer-focused."
