The Problem
A need for flexible and efficient contractor management
ClickOut Media is a fully-remote marketing services company based in Malta, UK, serving a diverse clientele across various industries and regions.
As a marketing agency, ClickOut Media needed a simple and compliant way to hire specialized SEO and content writers for niche markets like crypto, nutrition, and gaming. However, the absence of a streamlined international hiring system severely limited their talent pool, growth potential, and operational efficiency.
Before using Deel, managing contractors was cumbersome due to reliance on multiple platforms and slow, traditional invoicing and payment methods that often took 30 days or more to resolve. This approach made it difficult for the team to offer flexible and timely payments to their global contractors, which was crucial for maintaining—and growing—a reliable workforce.
The Solution & Results
Breaking through barriers to expand a skilled team
With Deel Contractor, ClickOut Media was able to simplify its onboarding and payment process worldwide, gaining access to an unlimited talent pool. ClickOut grew their workforce from 200 to over 600, hired in 40+ countries, and reduced their time-to-hire from months to weeks.
Deel also enabled them to unlock 8+ flexible payment options for their contractors and speed up payments from 30 days to 5-6 days. As a result, their team can hire and pay specialized talent in record time, no matter their location.
Deel has been crucial for our growth. We can easily hire and onboard talented individuals from anywhere, and with just one invoice and contract, we’ve become more efficient.
