Deel vs Gusto: Which is a better fit?

Speaker 1: Hi, my name is Rilwan. I'm the co-founder and product designer at [inaudible 00:00:06]. Right now it's a team of seven people and on a scale of 1 to 5, I give Deel a 5. Thanks. Before we start using Deel, what we would do would be we'll make a job listing on Indeed then we'll get the person in charge of HR to speak to the person. Because we do a lot of remote work as well. Most of our staff work remotely and they're from different countries so we just have to do everything manually one step by the other and that would be too stressful. So we put a job listing. Once we get the person we're trying to get to the company, then we have to work around, okay, what are the requirements to actually employ somebody from this country? So that's what we ideally used to do before. The main reason would be the fact that with Deel, everything we need is actually in one place. So once we can always, it's easy to operate, it saves us time. And they've already done the grant works already with making payments, incorporating the employee into the system, into the company. Deel just makes everything easier. So that was the reason why we started using them because it saves us a lot of time and it makes the process easier compared to what we used to do before. My [inaudible 00:01:23] was, as a co-founder, I suggested it but the person that incorporated, and I was there as well, was the person in charge of our HR. And it was really simple because it's just to fit in information. Then Deel, it's a platform that's been used to actually make the incorporation easy. So it was really easy. On a scale of 1 to 5, I'd definitely give Deel a 5. Right now with the aftermath of the COVID-19, you've got a lot of people employing with more staffs from different parts of the world and trying to incorporate them into the business can be an issue. But with Deel, if you start off nurse, similar situation with us. What you don't want is having issues then you have to deal with lawyers, you have to deal with accountants trying to do this, when you can just use a platform like Deel that makes everything simple. So that saves you the time, that saves you money in the long run. So the advice would be look at what your business needs right now. You get to the point where you're employing the people from different parts of the world. Deel will be the ideal platform. It's a software for you to actually incorporate into your business. Thanks.

Blake J.: My name's Blake. I am the owner of Jeffries Lawn Service, here in Missouri, and I rate Gusto five out of five stars. Before Gusto, I was pretty much having to handwrite all of my paychecks. I was, honestly, not as legit as far as payroll taxes go. Not to self-incriminate myself, but before Gusto, I really, it was all handwritten and it was super not organized. And now with Gusto, everything's just so much easier. Gusto was what I chose just because their user interface seemed to be really friendly, down to earth. The fees weren't crazy expensive per month, so those were the main drivers for me choosing Gusto. Getting set up with Gusto was honestly super streamlined. I had a couple questions there at the beginning and I had a few chats with some of the people there, the help, online and on the phone, and they were super helpful, which really made getting all of my employees at the time set up, including myself, getting the business set up and then getting all of our taxes set up as well. If you're thinking about getting Gusto, I would highly recommend it. Recommendations, they're super easy to work with, makes things so much simpler on our end as owners, as business owners and administrators, payroll clerks, whatever. Just the whole process becomes so much more streamlined, and so I would definitely recommend Gusto for anybody.
