The Problem
Slow and complex international hiring
Leya is an AI-powered workspace designed for law firms and legal professionals. To successfully enter new markets, Leya required talent with deep local knowledge and networks to introduce its product to customers on the ground. Like all healthy startups, the company was very busy and didn’t have time to research compliant hiring practices in each new location.
Max Junestrand, CEO at Leya, explained:
“We needed to source talent in the markets we’re going into but didn’t want to waste time on setting up companies outside of Sweden. Fortunately, we learned from others’ mistakes that entity setup isn’t always the most efficient route. We needed Deel EOR to speed up the hiring process so we could get back to building our product.”
The Solution
Direct access to local knowledge and new markets with Deel EOR
With Deel EOR, Leya has successfully hired critical team members across Europe. These strategic hires not only introduced their product to new clients but also significantly broadened their network and market reach.
“Thanks to Deel EOR, we now have people on the ground in the UK, Denmark, and Finland. This has been great for us as we’ve been able to tap into the best-in-class talent and expand our reach in local markets very quickly.”
Quick and convenient background checks
One platform feature that Leya finds particularly useful is the Deel background checks.
“Deel background checks are not only fast and easy, but have proven invaluable during the ISO 27001 audit.”
“Deel solves a very specific pain point for us. And it’s hiring people in other countries with confidence.”
