31 Oyster Testimonials

"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."

“Before Oyster, we worked with another EOR but we had several challenges. There was a lack of transparency and the software platform was not very user-friendly. We also had a lot of difficulties in terms of compliance and employee experience. That’s why we decided to change providers.”

"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."

"Our hypergrowth was only possible because we had support from a vendor like Oyster that enabled us to onboard talent all over the world."

"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."

"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."

"When I first talked to Oyster, I felt perfectly understood with all the pain points we had, the problems we were facing, and even the edge cases. Oyster felt trustworthy, secure, and stable. We’re working with part of people’s lives, so it’s very important for our partner to be trustworthy and stable."

"It can be quite daunting to try global hiring, but the team at Oyster takes that stress and anxiety away. They’re a team of experts you can rely on."

“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.”

"Before working with Oyster, we had never hired anyone outside of the U.K. We chose Oyster because of their focus on compliance, transparency, and ease of use. We wanted a trusted partner who could simplify global hiring."

"Oyster's one-stop solution has enabled us to tap into the global talent pool quickly and easily."

"When we switched to Oyster, a huge difference we noticed immediately is that every time we contacted our customer support manager or account manager, or just the regular customer support team, it was amazing. The quality of service, the speed of responses, as well as my ability to trust the response because it was backed up with data and information."

“Before Oyster, we tried a few other EORs, including Deel and Omnipresent, but we didn’t have a great experience. With previous EOR solutions, we didn’t have clear guidance when hiring in new territories that were unfamiliar to us. We were left in the unknown. We weren’t guided through the process confidently, which affected the onboarding experience negatively for the team members joining us.”

“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."
