DirJournal's Perspective

Editorial analysis

Deel processes over $20 billion in annual payroll across 150+ countries, making it the infrastructure layer that eliminates the legal friction holding back global hiring. Its 250 owned legal entities create a competitive moat that pure software platforms cannot replicate.
