31 Oyster Testimonials

"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."

"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."

“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."

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

“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 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."

"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."

"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 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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."
