How Deel revolutionized processes for the Nomic Foundation

The Nomic Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to Ethereum and its developer ecosystem. They provide open-source engineering software to empower developers to build decentralized applications.

From the start, Nomic knew it had to be a remote-first organization. Given its specialized industry, finding niche talent was crucial. The team needed access to developers around the world to stay ahead of the competition while remaining lean and compliant. This presented a challenge. Hiring legal and accounting professionals in every location would be costly and time-consuming.

Dessutom ville Nomic ha konkurrenskraftiga ersättningsalternativ utöver lön för att attrahera den önskade talangen. Manuel Freire, chef för juridik och ekonomi på Nomic Foundation, betonade: "Precis som många andra startups ville vi erbjuda vårt team något som liknar ett aktiepaket, vilket är mycket attraktivt för de talanger vi söker. Eftersom vi är en stiftelse saknar vi faktiskt aktiekapital, men vi ville ändå hitta ett sätt att ge vårt team bidrag som speglar fördelarna med aktiekapital."

As a result, the team began searching for a partner to compliantly hire, onboard, and pay international team members and offer additional benefits. Initially exploring other providers, Nomic discovered that other companies were quite satisfied with Deel as their HR and compliance solution. This encouraged Nomic to choose Deel as its provider.

With Deel, Nomic achieved its goal of hiring and paying international talent seamlessly and compliantly.

Trots att Nomic inte kunde erbjuda traditionellt eget kapital på grund av sin stiftelsestatus, undersökte Nomic Deels aktieförvaltning för att hitta en anpassad lösning. Freire sa, "Deel var superflexibla och hjälpsamma; de skapade en speciallösning som gjorde det möjligt för oss att erbjuda ett skräddarsytt bidragsprogram, vilket gjorde våra erbjudanden mer attraktiva för att framgångsrikt anställa och behålla den talang vi behövde."

Additionally, as Nomic continued to grow, it explored other Deel products that simplified many HR processes, saving them effort, time, and money:

- Deel Immigration: The Nomic Foundation identified an ideal candidate for a crucial position who was an European national residing in North America and needed sponsorship for a visa. Nomic’s Deel Customer Success Manager introduced the Immigration and Visa support product. Impressed, Nomic chose Deel for this crucial hire. Freire said, "The most important thing for us was that, through Deel Immigration, we were able to make this hire." Nomic saved both time and money in the process. Freire added, "The process was very smooth and simple. If it hadn't been for this solution, we would've ended up spending thousands of dollars and time engaging with other local providers."

- Deel's built-in HRIS and Deel Engage: After migrating their team to Deel’s platform, Nomic utilized Deel's built-in HRIS to simplify team management and automate its HR processes. Deel Engage streamlined time-off requests, syncing with Slack and Deel’s platform, providing managers with easy approval and visibility of their team’s PTO. Thanks to Deel’s solution, Nomic kept its team lean and saved $120k+ USD in HR admin processes. Freire said, “Prior to Deel's HRIS, we were managing all this information manually through different spreadsheets. This was time-consuming and error-prone, whereas now we have everything under the same platform as a one-stop tool for everything.”

Med Deel fann Nomic Foundation en partner som enkelt löste sitt internationella rekryteringspussel och revolutionerade sina HR-processer. Att anställa över 15 teammedlemmar i fler än 10 länder sparade över 150 000 USD i kostnader för enhetsetablering. ”Med tanke på vår tillväxt och våra framtida expansionsplaner skulle avsaknaden av Deel ha försvårat efterlevnaden och avsevärt ökat våra omkostnader”, säger Freire.

Most importantly, with Deel, Nomic focused on building their dream team without worry.
