26 Oyster Testimonials

"As a remote-first organization, we valued Oyster's ability to provide our new hires with a great onboarding experience. And the service and support from the Oyster team has been remarkable."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

“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.”

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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 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.”

"Prior to using Oyster, employing anyone outside the UK was a nightmare for us. now it's super fast and painless."
