"Excellent resource for all those who are interested in remote work!"
What do you like best about Oyster HR?

I have have recenly discovered the Global Employment Pass by Oyster and really love what they offer. It is an awesome resource - the "Oyster Academy" courses focus on remote fundamentals, how to organise your time and stay productive and creating effective distributed teams. Courses are clear, engaging, user-friendly and really informative. Brilliant idea to offer a certification upon completion of the course too. OysterHR website features also blog articles, interview skills tips and podcasts - terrific selection of topics. Can't recommend it enough for everyone looking to start their remote journey or working in a company that is planning to explore more flexibility in their way of working.

What do you dislike about Oyster HR?

I find the resources offered really helpful and looking forward to exploring how they will develop them!

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

Using their day to day processes, systems and employee examples, Oyster is showing how effective and efficient distributed teams can work without compromising employee well being, work life balance and productivity. Inpiring to see!

"Oyster's Great Work Environment"
What do you like best about Oyster HR?

Very wide and strong benefits for employees, which make employees concentrate on their tasks. Oyster Apps are very user-friendly UI which makes scheduled tasks for HR very easy.

What do you dislike about Oyster HR?

Not many so far. I would suggest my ex-HR people work at Oyster if there is any chance. Especially for the continuous improvement on that App.

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

I used to work with one of the largest IT companies in the world, but so many complicated internal systems for HR/GR even though they are the leader of DX... The Oyster App is a such nice and advanced system which make all users' life very easy.

All my contracts and invoices are in one place, which makes it easy for me to go back, and everything is well organized.

Working with Oyster has been great so far. The application is intuitive, everything is automated and customer support is really efficient and nice.

What do you dislike about Oyster HR?

Not much to say, I had a few bugs when submitting the documentation, but it was easy to solve.

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

I moved recently to Spain and wouldn't like to work as a contractor for the company I'm working for. Having an employee to sort all the payment is great.

"very easy process to hire international employees regardless of continent."
What do you like best about Oyster HR?

* Freedom to choose international employee * Less administrative hassles and no need to understand international laws per country * Provide benefit packages for international employees with multiple cost options

What do you dislike about Oyster HR?

1. I would prefer more interactive ways to make changes to portal instead of making calls to Oyster employees. 2. Need to have security of documents per customer. I received a contract for another client of yours. I am worried our information and our international employee's information may be shared with another client.

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

Quick hiring around the globe, enables improving TTM for feature development economically

"Very handy tool for managing employment"
What do you like best about Oyster HR?

I like that everything can be found very quickly. I can access contracts, invoices, health insurance, etc., with just a few clicks. Also asking for reimbursement is very handy.

What do you dislike about Oyster HR?

I can't update my legal address. Thus all tax forms are outdated, and I cannot use them for legalization in a country of residence (outside the US). It would be nice if it would be fixed

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

Oyster stores all my invoices, contract, and health insurance. I can ask for reimbursements. It's doing this job in very user-friendly manner and I just like it
