A senior backend-engineer brief, hire sitting in Warsaw, goes in. Metix AI runs the search. Booked interviews come back on a calendar. I did not limit the graph to countries where you have an entity. Go was pass-fail. Right-to-work in the country they already live in is the employment path, not a visa we run. 201 cleared the bar and were contacted. Interviews stay yours. Employment terms sit on the Deel side after an accepted offer.

Where this fits, and where it does not.
A good fit
- The candidate is abroad and you have no entity in that country.
- You already have an entity there. The hire lands on your own contract, and the search works the same.
- A cross-border finance, engineering, or specialist hire where the search has to run wider than one market.
Not built for
- Visa sponsorship or immigration. Relocation and sponsorship remain your process.
- An employer of record. Under an EOR arrangement, the provider on the Deel side is the legal employer.
- Employment inside the trial. The trial covers search only.
The longer version
The candidate is usually not the hard part, and the entity, the contract, and payroll are. Search on Metix AI runs across 190+ countries, while employment and payroll in 130+ countries sit on the Deel side of the announced partnership. The trial covers search only. Metix AI is not an employer of record, and it does not sponsor visas.
The July 2026 Deel joint release is the employment side of this page. Search on Metix AI runs across 190+ countries, from the funding announcement. Employment and payroll in 130+ countries sit on Deel's infrastructure, employer-of-record style, without you setting up a local entity. The trial covers search only. Visa sponsorship and relocation stay your process. If you already have an entity in that country, skip the partnership for that hire and land the person on your own contract.
Before you start.
In how many countries can Metix AI hires be employed?
Through the announced strategic partnership with Deel, a hire made on Metix AI connects to compliant employment and payroll in more than 130 countries, without the employer setting up a local entity. Sourcing itself runs wider, across a talent graph covering more than 190 countries.
Does Metix AI handle work visas or immigration?
No. The partnership covers compliant employment and payroll through Deel's infrastructure, employer-of-record style, in the country where the candidate already has the right to work. Relocation and visa sponsorship remain the employer's decisions and processes.
Who is my employee's legal employer under this model?
That is defined by the employment product chosen on the Deel side: under an employer-of-record arrangement the EOR provider is the legal employer in the candidate's country, while the day-to-day working relationship stays with your company. Metix AI's role ends at the handoff: a qualified, interested candidate with an accepted offer, connected into that chain.
Can I hire in a country where I already have an entity?
Yes. The Deel partnership is the path for countries where you have no entity; where you do, the hire simply lands on your own contract and payroll. Sourcing and delivery work the same either way, and nothing obliges you to use the partnership for every hire.
