One of the biggest changes in the workforce has been the rise of onboarding remote contractors all over the world as a way to help businesses grow. This trend is present whether it's a shared economy company or a fully distributed team.

Unfortunately, working with contractors can be hard, expensive, and time-consuming. As a company, you need a contract, different payment methods in place, clarity on tax filing (ie: W9/1099/W-8BEN forms), etc.. Not to mention compliance with local laws and understanding of classification risks.

At Deel, we are firm believers in the future of work. We strive to make it easier for companies to onboard and pay their contractors while staying fully compliant. We are walking the talk by being a fully distributed team. Building things is what drives us. Luckily for us, there's a lot to build at Deel. We enjoy talking to our customers as well as building features for them.
