26 Oyster Testimonials

"Finding the perfect candidate in a new country used to require months of trying to sort out local laws and getting properly set up in-country for payroll, reporting, liability, and more. With Oyster it is just a few clicks and the candidate is onboarded within days. The freedom to expand our team at the push of a button has been a game changer for us."

"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."

"Thanks to Oyster we have people selling our products around the world. As a result, our company grew 20-25% percent from 2022 to 2023. So that’s been amazing."

“It's not just a tool. It's not just a platform. It's a piece of the way we do business, essentially, because it seamlessly integrates with our hiring. It seamlessly integrates with our tech stack. But also, they inspire us and encourage us to look outside of the borders that we're in.”

"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."

"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."

"What makes Oyster an easy choice as a partner is that they’re always open to understanding your compensation and benefits package—or what you’d like it to be for everybody. They’ll advise you not only on the countries where that would be possible, but actually break it down for you and give you that list. It helped ensure a unified experience of what people get. So that's been awesome and it’s taken away a big challenge."

"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."

“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.”

"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 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."

"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."

"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."

“We invest in people who change the way the world works. We’ve been leading the way in enabling the future of work by investing in leading SaaS companies. We believe that software can change the world and be used for good, and so does Oyster. Watch this space: we expect great things from Oyster.”

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