Our take

Deputy’s scheduling, timesheet and time clock software allows businesses to more easily manage shift and contract workers. In the last few years, it’s become one of the biggest names in its market, having been founded in Sydney back in 2008.

This hypergrowth began after a USD $81 million injection in 2018 - the largest Australian Series B at the time - followed by a doubling in size within a year. It is now operating out of offices in the UK and US, as well as at home in Australia.

Deputy has helped over 330,000 businesses worldwide across 100 countries, with clients including Amazon, Google, and Uber and saw a rise of 7000 new customers in 2022. The company is focused on investing in its engineering and product to ensure it stays ahead in the market.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at Deputy

Chloe Sesta-Jacobs (Global Director, Inclusion & Engagement)

  • At Deputy, we strive to build teams internally that are as diverse as the workplaces we support globally — where each team member is empowered, valued, and supported.
  • We will only thrive when there is diversity, inclusivity, respectful collaboration, and equitable treatment. Whenever we see a barrier to these values, we must stand against it.
  • We will continue to lead with empathy, treat one another with respect and dignity, and celebrate our differences. We expect every Deputy to join us on this journey of continuous education: of listening, learning, and improving ourselves — and our practices.
