Want to follow along and learn how to use Deel to hire remote employees in over 150 countries? Sign up for an account below.
Sign up for a deel account.
On the sign up page, you need to select how you’re using Deel, either as a business, an employee, or a contractor. Since we’re signing up as an organization or team looking to manage our employees or contractors across the globe, we’ll go with the “I’m A Business” option.
NB: if you want to sign up directly but can’t find it, go to the top right corner of the deel website. Click on “sign in”. In the next window that appears, look at the down-left side of the interface, and you’ll see the “sign up” button. Click on that to proceed.
Click on the “Next” button to proceed.
Create your Deel account
Clicking on “Next” will take you to the next step. Here, as shown below, enter your names and your email address and click on “Create Your Deel Account” to proceed.
Create your startup or company account on Deel
Once your account is created, the next step is to create the organization or startup’s account.
Enter the required details, including the organization’s name, headquarters, and size, etc.
Once you’re through with this part, you’ll get an email to confirm your account.
Update your personal details
After confirming your email address, you’ll be taken to the next step, where you have to add in a few personal details, including your country of resident, birth date, and phone number as shown below. When you’re done with these details, click “Complete Profile” to proceed.
Select the tools you’ll be using inside Deel
In the next step, you can select the products you’ll be using inside Deel. While this helps them lead you on directly to whatever you’re looking for, it isn’t mandatory, and so you can skip it and continue.
But since we’re going to be hiring employees around the world, we can go ahead and select the “Employer of Record”
Click “Get Started” to proceed.
You don’t have to, but I would recommend you set up a two factor authentication to protect your account. One you’re done or if you don’t want to, then click on “Complete Sign Up” to proceed.
Welcome to your Deel dashboard
Once in your dashboard, you’ll be asked to book a call so they can help you hire and pay your international team better. Go ahead and book a call based on your availability.
Once you’re done booking a call, you can go head and add more details to your organization’s section, go through their onboarding checklist, add a financial point of contact, or go through their global hiring toolkit.
This is how your dashboard would look.
Adding company details on Deel dashboard
You need to go ahead and add your company details so they can verify you and you can start hiring.
To do so, click on the “Add Company Details” button to add your details. Once done, you’ll be notified that your company is added.
Adding Your Remote Employees on Deel
Now that we are through with adding our company, let’s go ahead and add employees.
To do so, click on “Add People” on the left pane of your desktop.
Then select “Employee” in the list of options that appear.
You can import already existing remote employee list on deel
If you already have a list of people you want to add as employees, you can prepare their details in a CSV document and upload using the “Mass Import” button below.
Select employee type
Once you select the employee option or upload your employees, you’ll be taken to the next step where you have to select the employee type.
Click on “EOR Employee” to proceed.
NB: An employer of record is like your company’s representative when you want to hire people in a different country. Imagine your company wants to hire workers in South Africa, but your company doesn’t have an office there. That’s where Deel comes in. Deel acts as your firm’s representative in South Africa. They make all the important papers and contracts, and they make sure everything is legal. So, you can focus on managing your employees’ day-to-day tasks, and Deel takes care of all the important paperwork, like handling the legal stuff, paying the workers, and ensuring your activities in that country stay compliant.
Add remote employee details on Deel
This will take you to the next step where you’re to add the employee details.

Also set the desired start date for the employee.
