31 Oyster Testimonials

“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 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.”

“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.”

“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.”

"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."

"Being able to expand into new geographies with agility has unlocked immense value for us. Oyster has enabled us to build a diverse and high-performing global team without getting stuck in legal or bureaucratic red tape."

“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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."
