The Problem
How previous HR provider failed to improve Flagship Founders’ operations
Flagship Founders is a holding entity for maritime startups. Operating in a very dynamic industry, it faced challenges in managing its global workforce, which required recruiting top-tier maritime talent across various international locations, often on short notice.
Its initial partnership with a Deel competitor failed to meet expectations, primarily due to a lack of understanding of Flagship Founders' unique business structure, inadequate expertise in international hiring compliance, insufficient customer support, and the absence of essential integrations to enhance both worker experience and internal HR processes.
"We needed a provider who could truly understand our operations and offer a tailored solution. Our previous provider fell short in every crucial aspect." - Sam Wiszniewski, People & Talent at Flagship Founders
The Solution
Compliant hiring and global expansion with Deel
Flagship Founders turned to Deel for a tailored solution that addressed their specific needs. Deel's deep understanding of the venture capital and private equity sectors, coupled with its proven experience in global compliance and contract management, made it the perfect partner for managing Flagship Founders’ global workforce.
“For us, it was crucial that our provider understood the dynamics of our operations. Deel's proven experience with other Venture Capital and Private Equity clients gave us peace of mind.” - Sam Wiszniewski, People & Talent at Flagship Founders
With Deel, Flagship Founders could hire and manage workers across 20+ countries without the need for costly and time-consuming entity setups. This capability enabled the company to expand rapidly and compliantly, ensuring they could tap into top talent wherever needed.
"Without Deel, we would have had to open entities in various countries, which wasn’t feasible. Deel made it possible for us to hire talent anywhere, risk-free."

Centralizing workforce management with Deel integrations
In addition to its global workforce management capabilities, Deel's integration with Flagship Founders’ existing HRIS system, provided significant benefits. The seamless integration streamline HR processes, from onboarding to payroll, and improved both worker and candidate experiences. This efficiency not only saved the company countless hours but also enhanced the overall experience for their team and candidates.
