Case Study: Design Pickle Streamlines Global Contractor Payroll with Deel

How Design Pickle streamlined payroll for 500+ contractors in 11+ countries

Design Pickle, a subscription-based creative services company in Scottsdale, Arizona, struggled with manual, error-prone payroll for 500+ contractors across 11+ countries. With no HRIS system in place, the team also faced inefficiencies managing contractor agreements and global compliance. Deel helped by providing Contractor and Deel Payroll solutions to simplify these processes.

With Deel, Design Pickle automated payroll so that one person could handle it in a few hours each pay period instead of two or three people spending over a week. Deel’s compliance features and pre-drafted contractor agreements also reduced legal overhead and helped ensure local compliance, delivering an 80% reduction in payroll processing time and smoother contractor management as the company expands internationally.
