Cross-border hiring fails after the offer. The person exists, and the entity, contract, and payroll chain is what kills the hire. Search is Metix, employment is Deel.
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.
Senior backend engineer, Warsaw. Booked interviews out.
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.
Figures from the funding announcement (search) and the July 2026 Deel joint release (employment). Visa sponsorship stays with the employer.
Search is Metix. Employment, if you need it, is Deel. The trial covers search only.
Interviews, the bar, and immigration stay yours. The trial covers search only.
The talent graph is not limited to where you have an entity. You still approve outreach.
An accepted offer connects to payroll in 130+ countries. Metix is not an employer of record.
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.
Search still runs. After they say yes, Deel's EOR and payroll infrastructure is the last mile named in the joint announcement.
Then you do not need the partnership for that hire. The person lands on your own contract. Sourcing works the same either way.
We do not handle immigration. Relocation and sponsorship remain your process. The partnership covers employment where the candidate already has the right to work.
Defined by the Deel product you choose. Under EOR, Deel's infrastructure is the legal employer in that country. Day-to-day work stays with you. Metix stops at the accepted offer, handed into that chain.
A credit is one interested, interview-ready candidate. If nobody clears the bar, the credit stays unspent. Yearly billing saves 10 percent. Volume and specialized hiring is quote-only.
Monthly list prices, checked against the pricing page. Trial: 14 days, 3 New Roles, 12 Credits, no card.
Other desks and markets
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.
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.
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.
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.
Start with the search, then let employment terms live on the Deel side of the partnership.
