The Company
Meet Turing
Turing helps businesses hire from the top 1% of software developers. They screen and hire vetted software developers across 100+ skills like React, Node, Python, Golang, Angular, Swift, Java, and more. Their powerful software enables companies to efficiently manage remote developers with automatic time tracking, daily stand-ups, and more.
The Problem
Documents all over the place
When it came to compliance before using Deel Contractor, Turing handled all compliance manually, and it involved a ton of back-and-forth via email with new teams to collect necessary compliance docs.
The team used to use Western Union to handle payments, which often had delays and came with fees for contractor payments. They were processing payments for around 150 contracts and using spreadsheets to manage it all. Their documents were all over the place, and it would take them days of manual work just to pay their team.
Having no guarantee that money would arrive on payday left a lot of developers unhappy. A big selling point of Deel was the idea that they could consolidate seamless payments and compliance on one platform and give their developers a reliable payday and overall experience.
Turing ran a pilot with three platforms, including Deel. They onboarded 20 people on all three platforms to test ease of use. For them, Deel stood out in its design and support availability.
One of the biggest reasons they chose Deel Contractor was compliance and its ability to get everything set up correctly in each country. Some competitors opt for a standardized template across all countries, whereas Deel accounts for the importance of local laws in individual countries and structures contracts to comply wherever Turing's developers reside. For Turing, this is what made Deel really stand out.
Even though they found some competitors could manage payments, they couldn't do it with the same ease and speed as Deel Contractor Management.
"When we came to understand the importance that Deel places on individual country laws and making sure that contracts are structured in the right way, Deel really stood out. And even though some of your competitors have payments, it wasn’t with the same ease at which we could do it with Deel.”

The Solution
How Deel deals with it
Turing has around 400 developers working for customers and 150 developers working to build Turing. They were able to migrate everyone to Deel Contractor in days. Now, they use Deel to manage, pay, and onboard every developer in over 60 different countries. Overall, their experience has been really positive. The team is happy, and they always appreciate the fast response time from Deel and our support team.
The Results
Faster, more streamlined payments
For Turing, Deel Contractor helped remove all the challenges they previously faced using other platforms. Their old system required a lot of manual work to make payments, which made paying everyone take several days. With Deel Contractor, the team can send payments in just a few hours after verifying the recipients' amounts, saving them a lot of time. They’re also able to add bonuses and make payment adjustments with ease.
They also love the ability to make a payment anytime with off-cycle payments. For instance, if they want to adjust future payments, it takes a few clicks and is done. Deel helped streamline Turing's entire payment process, eliminating all the pain points of their old system. The reporting feature also enables them to track payments for monthly accounting with ease.
Now, Turing has successfully hired more than 5,000 people through Deel.
