31 Oyster Testimonials

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Oyster has helped Neon to grow very rapidly because they provided us with a safe environment to hire people, bringing them on board very quickly. Plus, they make sure that we’re being compliant in all the locations where we hire, without the need to establish a subsidiary in those locations."

“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.”

"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."

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

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

"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.”

"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."
