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."

"What makes Oyster stand out from other EORs we have worked with is that they really listen to their clients to understand our needs and find a tailored solution. They go the extra mile to help us solve edge cases. They take feedback seriously and are always trying to improve their services."

"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."

“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."

"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."

"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."

"We've used Oyster to hire and onboard employees in 10 different countries and we would not have been able to grow that quickly without Oyster."

"Oyster takes away the stress and complexity of setting up company entities, figuring out tax regulations and employment laws, and sourcing benefits providers when we operate in new territories. We don’t have to worry about any of that, which means we can dedicate our time, energy, and resources to building a great product for our customers."

"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."

"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."

"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."

“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 helped us bridge the gap between wanting global talent, but not having entities in all the locations to hire them. If we do a cost analysis between the time and effort it takes to set up legal entities versus having the right talent to join your business through an organization that really understands what we’re trying to do—it’s totally worth the cost."

"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."
