The Company
Transforming the investment landscape
North America-based Aquatic Capital Management manages systematic investment strategies designed to provide industry-leading returns.
The Problem
Painful manual processes and administrative burden
Aquatic's HR team relied heavily on Google Suite tools like Sheets, Docs, and Forms for their HR processes, leading to time-consuming and error-prone manual admin.
They needed an automated, scalable HR platform to streamline their processes and adapt to their unique programs instead of forcing them into a rigid, pre-defined system.
"Deel Engage stood out as the most flexible HR solution."—Caroline Randazzo, Head of Human Resources and Recruitment.
The Solution
Automation, flexibility, and partnership
Deel Engage provided a comprehensive system for automating performance reviews, feedback, onboarding, and development processes.
The HR team at Aquatic was particularly impressed with the speed of implementation and the level of support they received.
"Out of all the tool implementations I've done, Deel has been the best in terms of consultancy, support, and partnership." —Caroline Randazzo, Head of Human Resources and Recruitment.
The Results
Saving time, boosting transparency, and enhancing the employee experience
With Deel Engage, Aquatic was able to automate:
- Peer reviews
- Semi-annual employee check-ins
- Quarterly check-ins with team leaders
- 1-month and 3-month feedback reviews with new hires (automatically triggered by hire dates)
- Onboarding process with communication aimed at buddies, mentors, managers, and new hires
- Development journeys for leadership

- "Feedback about feedback" surveys to improve HR processes
"Deel Engage is our go-to platform for all things talent management, saving us up to 180 hours in feedback processes alone."
