Deel sent me an invite for a hiring webinar event. The “hook” was that every attendee would be guaranteed an interview. After the event, they sent another email stating that it would be an AI interview. This felt incredibly deceptive since they hid the fact in the invite that it wouldn’t be an actual recruiter conducting the interview. This felt very deceptive and frankly made me lose all interest in working for Deel. If this is how they handle their hiring process, I can only imagine how they treat their employees and customers.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Are you interested in getting a guaranteed interview?
During the interview, I was asked to identify my areas for improvement and confirm my status as a high performer. Additionally, I was asked which two tools I would choose to utilize in my role.
Overall, the product appears sound; however, I identified several red flags during the process which I want to share:
Ramp-up Concerns: The ramp-up period offers guaranteed pay for the first month, followed by a 33% target in the second month and 66% in the third. This is concerning given the sales cycles exceeds three months, which has been mentioned.
Commission Structure: Accelerators do not kick in until the quota is achieved across all "buckets."
Pricing Friction: Selling hardware is reportedly challenging due to the significant price premium of Deel IT compared to standard market vendors. This pricing gap becomes even more complex when dealing with larger volumes for enterprise.
I met with a recruiter and with very standard line of questioning. Some of the questions were very vague about how I go about process management, relationships, etc. when I asked for specifics, it wasn’t thoroughly explained. Pretty low base compensation compared to their competitors and current market rate as someone with senior level experience.
