Deel has announced a large-scale virtual hiring event as it ramps up recruitment to support continued global growth, with plans to add more than 300 new hires to its sales team in the first quarter of 2026.
The event, titled Get Inspired, Get Hired, will take place on Wednesday, Jan 14, 2026, at 5:00pm UTC, and is open to candidates worldwide. Deel said the fully virtual format is designed to give global talent direct access to open roles across the organisation, regardless of location.
Accelerating global hiring with AI
Deel plans to use the event to fast-track its hiring process, particularly for sales roles, which account for the majority of planned hires. Following the live session, all attendees will be invited to apply for open positions, with AI-powered initial interviews offered to every applicant.
The company said it will leverage AI-driven recruitment tools through collaborations with Micro1, Covey and Metaview. These tools will be used to assess candidate skills and role fit early in the process, support initial interviews, and capture structured interview insights.
According to Deel, this approach is intended to reduce time-to-hire while enabling more consistent hiring decisions across regions, as the company scales its global workforce.
Leadership access and company insights
Beyond job opportunities, the virtual event will feature leadership spotlights, insights into Deel’s growth strategy and workplace culture, and a live question-and-answer session with senior executives.
Speakers include Deel co-founders and executives such as chief executive Alex Bouaziz and chief revenue officer Shuo Wang, alongside senior sales leaders from across the organisation.
“Get Inspired, Get Hired reflects Deel’s rapid growth and our commitment to unlocking global talent while dramatically accelerating the hiring process,” said Alan Price, global head of talent acquisition at Deel. “As we kick off the new year, we’re ramping up headcount across the business, with a significant expansion of our global sales team and more than 300 new hires planned.”
Exploring a record-setting opportunity
In addition to recruitment, Deel said the event will explore a potential Guinness World Record–related opportunity linked to large-scale online hiring participation, although further details have not been disclosed.
The initiative comes as global employers increasingly turn to remote-first hiring models and automation to compete for talent across borders, particularly in sales, technology and customer-facing roles.
