Hourly hiring is broken on both sides. DEALT is the fix.
Candidates fill in the same form thirty times. Employers sift through two hundred CVs. Pay is hidden behind "competitive salary". Everyone wastes their time. We're building the marketplace that respects both sides of the table.
Pay transparency isn't a feature. It's the product.
In June 2026, the EU Pay Transparency Directive requires every employer in the bloc to publish pay ranges on job advertisements. Most job platforms are adding a pay field. DEALT was built around pay from day one — enforced at the database level, front and centre on every card, in copper so it can't be missed.
The Directive is the tailwind, not the reason. The reason is that millions of people apply for jobs every year without knowing what they'd earn. That's a broken market. We're fixing our slice of it.
Built in Dublin, for Dublin — then Ireland, then Europe.
Hourly work in Dublin covers hospitality, retail, healthcare, logistics, and a hundred small businesses that don't have an HR department. We're starting here because the density is right, the regulations are clear, and we live here. Once Dublin works, we expand city by city.
We're not trying to be LinkedIn for hourly. We're trying to be the default way hourly hiring happens in one city, then replicate that playbook.
Solo-founded. Dublin-based. Hands on the product.
DEALT is built by Stephen McKeown — Dublin-based, analytics engineering background at LinkedIn, building DEALT full-time on weekends and evenings. Sole founder, sole developer, so every product decision ties back to one question: does this make hiring easier for the people actually using it?
