The Challenge
Challenges of manual hiring for a growing company
DevSavant connects US-based tech startups with top-tier talent from 15 countries across Latin America. As a strategic partner of Savant Growth’s portfolio, and companies in the venture capital (VC) ecosystem, it offers a unique synergy in the market by combining the best of both worlds: understanding both the needs of startups and the goals of VCs. DevSavant’s mission is to simplify and accelerate hiring and onboarding processes for its clients.
Before using Deel, DevSavant managed contractors manually, facing numerous challenges like compliance, on-time payments, and fragmented onboarding. This lack of automation limited the company’s ability to scale, slowed operations, and increased costs, including a 20+ person administrative team and $12,000 USD in monthly expenses.
"Manual contractor management was unsustainable for our growth. With Deel, we automated hiring, allowing us to scale confidently into new markets and provide faster, more efficient service to our clients." — Alejandra García, Growth Director, DevSavant
The Solution
An all-in-one hiring solution to save time and costs
Partnering with Deel completely transformed DevSavant’s operations, making it a strategic ally in its expansion. Automation helped the organization standardize hiring, ensure timely payments, and reduce onboarding times from three weeks to one. This freed up resources, allowing the team to focus on growth and strategy instead of repetitive tasks.
“For us, Deel is more than a platform; it’s a strategic partner that has enabled us to connect top Latin American talent with global clients fast and without worrying about any administrative complexities. Our core is finding the best talent and adapting to the needs of our clients, who are high-growth startups in the US, and thanks to Deel, we can focus on what we do best.” — Daniel Peña, CEO, DevSavant
In addition to solving administrative challenges, Deel significantly enhanced the contractor experience. Features such as multi-account transfers, virtual and physical payment cards, and the ability to receive payment in USD are highly valued.
Deel’s integrations with tools like QuickBooks and Slack also streamline financial management and improve internal communication, further boosting operational efficiency.
“Our contractors recognize the platform’s simplicity. Deel connects their professional and personal lives, giving them peace of mind."

CEO of DevSavant
