FAQs

How can I ensure I only pull those people from the directory I need for Deel?

You may not want your entire organization pulled into Deel. Please delete the integration in settings by pressing the red delete button if this has happened. Then set up a service user in Hibob following these instructions to create a service user in Hibob that only has access to certain people. Then reconnect Deel to Hibob using those service user credentials.

What direction is the integration?
Direction is from Hibob to Deel.

Why can't I see everyone in the directory?
Depending on your Service User permissions in Hibob, you may only have access to a limited amount of employees in Hibob, which means only those will show up in Deel.

How often does data refresh?
Data refreshes nightly, but at any point, you can re-sync data in the Settings section by pressing the Sync button.

How can I delete the integration?
Go into Settings, and at the bottom, press Delete integration.

How are the Email notification settings in Settings used?
Adding this will send notifications if we have lost connectivity/permission to your Hibob directory. You might want to use it and input a group HR email so that if the person who set up the integration leaves or deletes the permissions, someone will know about it. We automatically delete integrations if connectivity is lost for greater than 30 days.

I do not see those contractors in Deel in the Found in Deel tab. How can I fix this?

Please ensure that the Work or Personal email field in Hibob is the same email used in the Deel contract. This is because Deel reads both Hibob email fields to make this match. Once you have rectified this, you can go into settings and click Sync, and everything should be sorted.
