“At the Slack Fund, we’re focused on investing in the next wave of software companies building the future of work. Oyster is addressing the challenges that come with employing a globally distributed team, enabling companies to expand their potential talent pool and hire based on what matters most to them. The ability to hire from anywhere is necessary to embrace a remote-first future."

"One thing that stood out for me is the relationship I have with my Customer Success Manager. I know I can reach out if there’s any questions or any problems or whatever, and there’s someone who will help me right away."

"Since TriNet recommends Oyster, we didn’t have to research and vet EOR vendors on our own. We trusted that as a TriNet partner, Oyster will deliver on service quality, compliance, and value."

"Because of Oyster, we were able to continue growing our distributed team and building our company, even as the world was shutting down from the pandemic."

"Before Oyster—we call it the Before Times—we were doing all of our international employee management manually. We were manually staying legally compliant and dealing with taxes in 40 different countries. It was a logistical nightmare. So when Oyster swooped in, it was a knight-in-shining-armor moment for us."

"Migrating from multiple EORs to Oyster was my first big task. The Oyster team helped me avoid all the pitfalls and hit all our timelines on getting everything switched over. And it was seamless for our employees. They never had to wait for a check or miss any reimbursements. It was very seamless and lovely, and I would do it again. I don’t think most people would say that they would migrate systems again, so that’s a true testament to how special Oyster is."

"Prior to using Oyster, employing anyone outside the UK was a nightmare for us. now it's super fast and painless."

"As a remote-first organization, we valued Oyster's ability to provide our new hires with a great onboarding experience. And the service and support from the Oyster team has been remarkable."

"We need to be competitive within that talent space and ensure that we’re geared up to hire people regardless of where they are. Doing that with as little friction as possible for UW means that we’re able to actively go in and hire in key hubs without putting ourselves into awkward or precarious situations. Oyster was a low-entrance, low-workload way to ensure that we can access the right talent pools regardless of where they are."

"The Oyster team presents us with a summary of the laws and the regulations in each country. We know exactly what the costs are of employing staff there, what the risks are, what the benefits are. It’s all done in a very concise and straightforward way that allows us to make decisions about staffing in these countries, trusting that we have a partner with the expertise to carry out the hiring and the employment of these staff."

“Our pain points with previous EORs come down to transparency and communication. If I need a payroll report or have a question about a legal or HR process, I have to go through multiple communication channels with some EORs. There’s a lack of visibility and transparency, and communication is a struggle.”

"Oyster enables us to compliantly onboard contractors and get to work within 3-4 days. Being able to hire remote contractors across the world with Oyster is the reason why Zabal Media has been able to scale as quickly as we have."
