Petra Valjak - PeerSpot reviewer
Head of People&Culture at a outsourcing company with 51-200 employees
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 cloud-oriented HRMS that needs to be more flexible and improve offline support
We use ZingHR as a human resource management system. It helps us manage recruitment, generate offer letters, and maintain employee database and attendance.  The solution is a cloud HRMS, which makes it a self-sufficient model. You can do a lot of things without taking anybody's help.  ZingHR is…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I am very happy with Deel and where they are going."
"The positive impact of Deel on my organization is significant."
"The best features Deel offers are its core product offering that enables us to work with people in countries where we don't have an entity, which has really opened the doors to global talent for us that we wouldn't have been able to access otherwise and enabled us to do this legally and compliantly."
"If you want something easy that is incredibly flexible for a globally distributed workforce, Deel is the one for you."
"Deel has made our contractor system possible and much easier to manage from a human resources point of view, and it has also improved the experience of our contractors."
"Deel has positively impacted my organization by making it easier to find the best talent in the world, no matter where they may be."
"Now that we have everything automatically in Deel, we save a lot of time, and we can have someone ready to work with us in about a day."
"Having this one-stop shop for all of our employees is quite crucial, and I am really happy that we use Deel on a daily basis."
"The solution is a cloud HRMS, which makes it a self-sufficient model. You can do a lot of things without taking anybody's help."
"The most valuable feature of ZingHR is the data bulk uploading and downloading."
 

Cons

"Deel can be improved on costing, such as being more transparent from day one."
"The feature does exist, but for us it is quite expensive compared to doing it ourselves."
"Deel can be improved by making adjustments to contract styles, especially regarding incentives or bonuses, which can be a little tricky, as their legal team sometimes takes their time and doesn't show consistency in what they allow and what they don't, but these are relatively minor issues."
"For reporting, I would say that is the only thing I think Deel can be improved at."
"Pricing could be a little more affordable for smaller companies, so that is a comment I can leave."
"There are some minor things that I am looking forward to seeing improved in Deel, such as employment types."
"My advice for others looking into using Deel is to skip."
"Deel updates their design and website quite frequently, which I understand is for the sake of improving user experience, but sometimes it is really hard to find something you have been looking for."
"ZingHR could improve by giving administration users from the front end the ability to make corrections. I am having to do the bulk corrections from an Excel upload from the system."
"ZingHR is not flexible and needs to improve offline support."
