Platform Services

The Platform tab provides cross-cutting services that power Deel’s global employment infrastructure. These APIs help you build integrations that span multiple products, manage organizational structure, ensure compliance, and access essential reference data.

  • Manage organizational structure - Set up legal entities, organizations, groups, and reporting hierarchies
  • Ensure compliance - Run screenings, background checks, and manage immigration requirements
  • Integrate systems - Configure webhooks, access reference data, and manage cost centers
