"One stop shop for billing and expenses"
What do you like best about Oyster HR?

The auto invoicing feature with Oyster is super helpful for Contractors/Remote employess and we don't have to worry about sending manual invoices on time.

What do you dislike about Oyster HR?

A Contract pushed via Oyster is not editable (contract date renewal) and getting this done by Oyster Support is a time consuming process. Having this in-platform would help.

Creating and tracking historic invoices is so much easier compared to the manual process.

"Without Oyster, I wouldn't have gotten the chance to work as an FTE."
What do you like best about Oyster HR?

It handles my taxes, social contributions, and the paperwork related. If not for Oyster, working with the company I'm with now as a full-time employee would've been just impossible.

What do you dislike about Oyster HR?

It will be great if Oyster starts handling subscriptions to retirement plans available in foreign countries (401k equivalents in each country).

What problems is Oyster HR solving and how is that benefiting you?

Oyster handles paperwork. It allows me to be a fulltime employee with a company in Canada, while being in another country.

"The platform is user-friendly and their customer support team is incredibly helpful"
What do you like best about Oyster HR?

I've been using OysterHR to help with my company's HR needs for hiring people abroad, and I couldn't be happier with the service. The platform is intuitive and easy to use, and the customer support team was incredibly helpful in getting us set up. We were able to streamline our hiring processes and save a lot of time and resources. I highly recommend this platform for any company looking for an EOR solution.

What do you dislike about Oyster HR?

After using OysterHR for a while, I can confidently say that I don't dislike anything about the platform.

"Very competent team; any issues handled quickly"
What do you like best about Oyster HR?

I like that I feel I work with people who know what they're doing and have a sense of urgency. I am never left wondering what is going on. I do not have experience with competitors but at present I have no reason to look into them.

What do you dislike about Oyster HR?

The support received before becoming clients does not do justice to the quality they provide after onboarding. It is of course not cheap but more or less at the same level than competitors.

What problems is Oyster HR solving and how is that benefiting you?

I had to relocate to a Country where my employer did not have any presence; Oyster allowed me to continue doing my job and not having to deal with a lot of legal and tax complications.

"Good experience so far"
What do you like best about Oyster HR?

I appreciate the reactivity of the support team as well as the clarity of the platform which is very intuitive. In general it is a positive experience with Oyster.

What do you dislike about Oyster HR?

Maybe the fact that I have to do things twice (for example when I ask a leave I need to do it on my company platform and Oster platform). And also the fact to fill up timesheet each month whereas my schedule is always the same.

What problems is Oyster HR solving and how is that benefiting you?

It allows me to work for a foreign company but with French conditions/contract. It eases the recruitment which makes the international collaboration efficient and easy.

A little slow response on user queries, it takes time for them to be resolved.

"Great service"
What do you like best about Oyster HR?

As an employee hired via Oyster it's easy and straightforward to use. If I had any issues, customer support was quick and knowledgeable to respond. Had no issues with the platform either, like the minimalistic design.

What do you dislike about Oyster HR?

It was not fully integrated with our company's HR system, so I had to double-request and record all time-off. That's the only thing I didn't like as it's double the work.

What problems is Oyster HR solving and how is that benefiting you?

Allowing me to be hired to a company that's based in a different country where I am. Which gives me as an employee to be more flexible and have a bigger pool of jobs.

"Awesome Customer Service and Remote Hiring Experience"
What do you like best about Oyster HR?

Oyster is probably the best platform to hire talent from everywhere across the globe. Their customer support is outstanding, and the platform is super user-friendly. I would recommend Oyster for anyone wanting to expand their search for talent to the entire world!

What do you dislike about Oyster HR?

Oyster is not one of the cheapest Remote Hiring platforms in the market, and if you're planning to hire just through Oyster, it can become utterly expensive. That being said, Oyster is still competitive and offers a much better service than other platforms.

What problems is Oyster HR solving and how is that benefiting you?

Oyster allows us to search for talent all across the Globe without really having to worry about the location of a new employee or legal parameters to hire in said geography.

"One of the best Automated Global Employment Platform"
What do you like best about Oyster HR?

As an Indian talent, I like several things about Oyster, but here are my top three: Global reach. Oyster can help me find jobs in over 180 countries, including India. This means that I can have a wider range of opportunities to choose from. Automated hiring process. Oyster's platform automates many of the tasks involved in hiring, such as creating employment contracts and onboarding employees. This can save me a lot of time and hassle. Expertise in Indian labor laws. Oyster has a team of experts who are familiar with Indian labor laws. This means that I can be confident that my rights are protected when I work with a company that uses Oyster. Overall, I think Oyster People Services is a great option for Indian talents who are looking for jobs globally. It's a fast, easy, and compliant way to find the right job for you.

What do you dislike about Oyster HR?

As an Indian talent, I have a few dislikes about Oyster People Services: The platform does not support all of the Indian labor laws. This can make it difficult for talents to understand their rights and protections when working with a company that uses Oyster. One thing to mention is that Oyster doesn't allow NPS deduction yet in India, which is very important for employees' social security. The customer support team is not always available 24/7. Oyster's customer support team is available during business hours but may not be available if you have a question or issue outside of those hours. Getting a reply from customer support sometimes is delayed. Also, oyster should provide its talents(3rd party) company email id, ID card, and company contact number because these documents are required in India for many financial works.

What problems is Oyster HR solving and how is that benefiting you?

Oyster helps me to get employed by a foreign employee while residing in my home country, and it takes care of my payroll, benefits and labor laws. Oyster improve previous arrangements by my employer by simplifying the process and automating it.
