Your best creators are already your users. Hire them with one link.
Put a Deo Link in front of your audience and Deo runs the entire hiring pipeline — AI screening, trial tasks, offers, contracts, onboarding, and training. You review one column. Everything else is automatic.
Free for unlimited creators. The link takes about 90 seconds to make.
Why a hiring engine
Retire the cold-DM spreadsheet
Tools like Ashby made hiring engineers a system instead of a scramble. Creator hiring is still DMs, spreadsheets, and hope. Deo makes it a system — and then the system does the work.
Hiring creators today
- Cold DMs to influencers who've never used your product
- Applications scattered across spreadsheets, emails, and ghosted threads
- Agency retainers for generic content with zero product knowledge
- Manual contracts, onboarding docs, and payment chasing for every hire
Hiring with Deo
- Applicants who already use and love your product
- One pipeline that screens, nudges, and expires candidates automatically
- Creators trained on your brand with the Hook–Proof–CTA framework
- Contracts, onboarding, and Stripe payouts built into the hire itself
Step one — and almost step only
One tracked link per traffic source
Make a link for your site banner, another for Discord, another for your newsletter. Every link tracks visits, applications, and hires — so you know exactly which source produces creators who actually ship.
- Your website
- Discord server
- Newsletter
- Link in bio
- Community forum
- QR at events

- Automatic
5. Hire & Onboard
One click of “accept” and they're provisioned: workspace, training curriculum, starter missions, payout rails.
- You
6. Your only job
Borderline calls land in a single “Needs You” column. Everything else already happened.
After the hire
Hired means productive, not "in a spreadsheet"
The moment a candidate accepts, Deo provisions everything a working creator needs:
Workspace membership
They sign in and they're already on your team — no invites to send.
Training curriculum
10 modules on the Hook–Proof–CTA framework, with an AI coach reviewing their work.
Starter missions
Their first three tasks are waiting before they log in for the first time.
Tracked links & payouts
Attribution and Stripe payout rails wired up from day one.
Then the management layer takes over: trust scores, weekly coaching digests, milestone rewards, and nudges for creators who go quiet. Hiring at scale only works if managing at scale is automatic too.
75,000 users acquired — from a single pilot
a consumer platform's own users, two creators, zero ad spend
Questions companies ask
What if my audience is small?
You don't need 100,000 daily visitors. A few thousand engaged users usually contains more willing creators than any agency roster — and a Deo Link works anywhere they already are: your site, Discord, newsletter, link in bio, or a QR code at an event.
How is this different from a creator marketplace?
Marketplaces rent you strangers who make content about anything for anyone. Deo hires people who already use your product, trains them on your brand, and builds their track record with you — so quality compounds instead of resetting with every campaign.
What do I actually have to do?
Review the “Needs You” column. Screening, trial tasks, offers, contracts, onboarding, and training all run automatically — the only decisions routed to you are the genuinely borderline ones.
What does it cost?
Hiring is completely free — recruit, onboard, train, and manage as many creators as you want at no cost, with automated Stripe payouts and view verification included. The only thing you ever pay for is the AI that assists them, and even that starts with a free monthly allowance. See the pricing page.
