Het probleem
The decision to go borderless
In het begin was het team van Sendspark gevestigd in San Antonio, Texas. Hun CEO, Bethany Stachenfeld, gebruikte een in de VS gevestigd payroll-bedrijf om betalingen te verwerken. Dat verliep geheel handmatig en bovendien was het platform volgens Stachenfeld "heel beperkt" – het bood geen geautomatiseerde betalingen voor wereldwijde freelancers en stond ook geen wereldwijd nalevingsbeheer toe (en het was gevoelig voor fouten).
At a certain point, the Sendspark team realized they needed to hire in countries outside of the US. ”We wanted to hire the best talent, the people most aligned with our company values and more skilled for the roles we needed to fill in,” says Stachenfeld, “it shouldn’t matter where they were born or where they were from. We realized we didn’t want to be limited by that.”
Hiring globally also presented Sendspark with a great opportunity for market expansion. With employees from around the world familiar with their country’s languages and cultures, Sendspark could better represent their global customer base as well as offer stronger support around the world.
De oplossing
Sendspark finds Deel
Their search began for a solution when they found an amazing CTO candidate in Mexico. However, Sendspark was unable to hire the worker themself, plus navigating local laws and creating compliant contracts proved to be daunting and time-consuming, which could cause them to risk losing the talent along the way. That’s when they found the platform to make a first international hire without any hassle: Deel.
Deel heeft alle logistieke uitdagingen van het opbouwen van een internationaal team geëlimineerd. De interne teams waarderen Deel ook erg, onder andere vanwege de flexibiliteit van het platform bij het opnemen van geld, wat veel problemen oplost voor freelancers uit landen met valutarestricties.
"Wij kunnen ons concentreren op het vinden van de juiste mensen, omdat we weten dat al het administratieve werk voor ons wordt gedaan, van onboarding en betalingen tot belastingrapporten en de integratie met onze boekhoudsoftware. Uiteindelijk bespaart het mij veel tijd.”

De resultaten
Results and looking forward
Deel was a game-changer for Sendspark, enabling them to hire in 5 different countries and create a more effective global expansion plan (they have a presence in over 70 countries today)—saving time with payment and contracts automation, and all of that with the peace of mind of being 100% compliant.
Looking forward, the Sendspark team plans to start using the EOR product to hire employees and provide them with localized benefits. They’re also exploring creating hubs in certain cities by utilizing the Global Mobility product to enable their team members to live in different countries where the hubs are located.
“It was great for me to see how fast Deel’s been growing and becoming more and more professionalized. Every person I’ve interacted with has been awesome, the support is always comprehensive and effective, and the platform is only getting better. I’m looking forward to continuing growing my workforce through Deel.” said Stachenfeld.
