Oyster HR Reviews: 4.4/5 — Solid Choice

It's very easy to use, customer support responds within 2 hours. And they have amazing legal and complicance teams for each country so it's always assuring that we hire legally!

It's more on pricey side, but I believe it's still worth it compared to cheaper competitors.

Hiring employees in countries where we don't have entities. Saves a lot of time thanks to not opening entities.

Ease of Use, Number of Features, Ease of Integration

Customer Support through call would be very helpful

Helping MNCs to setup their payroll

Extremely responsive and experienced personal for handling full and part time remote contracts.

Have only positive experiences with Oyster

Oyster has well established processes to handle legal and financial aspects for remote hiring for most of the countries.They have an exhaustive list of features to take away the contractual stress, so you can focus on your work.

Highly cost effective compared to the previous EOR / PEO we were using. Easy to navigate portal. Responsive customer support and implementation team.

Oyster is a great product. I don't have any downsides currently.

Having employees globally, without needing to incorporate as a business entity in that country. Oyster handles contracts/agreements, payroll and benefits for the employees.

I like Oyster because I can get paid quickly once the invoices are approved. There are other intermediaries that can delay the payment for a couple of days for an international transfer.

The UX lacks a simple resource that is to order your invoices received. You have all of them in a single page that you can't filter or order it. The order seems random too.

The ability to hire worldwide with an integrated system that is simple to use and set up.

They are fantastic HR partner. Availabile, reliable, and speedy follow ups! Their web page is easy to navigate which is great!

I dont have any negative comments, all good so far!

Oyster is handling global HR management difficulties such as payroll procedures, regulatory compliance across various countries, and quicker onboarding for remote personnel as me. Oyster provide exceleen overview and way to manage employee benefits, time tracking, and general HR activities by offering a unified platform. All in one place!

We have only just started using the platform, but so far everything and everyone we have spoken to from our first demo call through to onboarding an employee has been quick, helpful and informative.

Nothing so far! We have not been in the platform long enough but I can tell it is a major step up from what we used previously.

Our previous EOR platform did not integrate properly, and customer service was lacking. This platform solves both problems and will be helpful hiring into new areas.

Last year I decided to leave my job of 15 years to work for another company outside my country. It was a difficult decision with several challenges related to payment methods and HR. However, all these issues were resolved when Oyster services were adopted. I had full support from the team for in the transition phase, negotiating benefits and work model. The platform is very friendly and objective and the contact with team members is easy and fast. I feel very comfortable having a company like Oyster supporting me in my current position.

I don't have any complain about Oyster services

managing all local labor laws, currency conversion and benefits

Easy interaction platform and system. Good company.

Currently nothing to say about this point

Contratação de colaboradores em diferentes paises

The platform is very easy to use and staff are very helpful all the way. There are no hidden costs as everything was explained from the beginning.

So far, there is nothing that I dislike about Oyster. We haven't had any issues for the moment.

Oyster helps us employing our staff in Canada without setting up a company there. They deal with all the local regulations for employment so that you don't have to worry about that. They take care of the employee benefits as well.

Our company has been able to successfully hire talent in India and has a very smooth onboarding process. Saving us time and money!

I can't think of anything negative to say about Oyster!

Oyster allows us to hire administrative and tech industry talent in India, saving us time and money for our US-based organization! Onboarding is smooth and seemless!

The Oyster team is very supportive and has a great knowledge base on the laws and structures of the countries we are hiring in. They are very responsive and professional with our team and our candidates. Their onboarding was very smooth and the implementation was a pleasant experience. The interface of their platform is user-friendly. They provide numerous features/tools and packages that match a good range of possible needs. Ever since we implemented OysterHR, we’ve been using it continuously allowing us to hire full-time employees with attractive benefits and run payroll all while being fully compliant.

Overall, the experience with Oyster has been great. The only dislike we have is how strict Oyster is with timelines, which is completely understandable.

OysterHR allows us to hire full-time employees in different countries with attractive benefits and run payroll all while being fully compliant.

Super easy to use and onboard for international employees and contractors. Support has been fast, and it's relieving to be on a platform where necessary paperwork is easily handled for international hires.

The help knowledge base could be better, but it hasn't been a major issue since contacting an actual person has been easy if I need help.

Simplifies international hiring and contracting to give us access to a greater pool of talent.

Every step in the process is very well organized. All is clear and I don't have a need to ask additional questions, which makes it easier.

Nothing to complain about, to be honest.

Solving all my employment processes. I don't have to deal directly.

Oyster has been an invaluable platform for us, as this allows us to hire globally and stay compliant (over +100 employees hired). Great support around nuances on employment compliance and nice user experience. Personally, I like that our FP&A team can use feature around cost calculatoré estimation and we brought it into budget planning.

From monthly routine Oyster set tight deadlines on submitting changes to employment contracts, therefore we had to change our internal processes how we do things/ approve things. On one side I understand the reasons behind, but a bit more flexibility would be appreciated.

1) access to global workforce with right skill sets 2) cost savings as we dont need to establishe officies in countries

Oyster is very easy to use. We had an employee move to another country, and we wanted to retain her as an employee without having to incorporate there. The sales and onboarding team there was very helpful and easy to work with, and made sure that I was clear on all aspects of the process. Given that we only have one person there, it is nice to have experts.

I haven't encountered anything I dislike yet.

Incorporating in another country, especially for only one person, was cost prohibitive for us. Using Oyster allowed us to retain a high performing employee while also allowing them to live where they want to live.

- Great customer support for any issue. - On-time Payment. - Medical Insurance

all things are good so far without any issues at Oyster end regarding my employment.

Oyster is helping me to get employed for Foreign country companies

Oyster has always been professional in working with setting up our international employees. Working with them has shown me this is not a commodity service. The technology piece of the platform is very easy and intuitive to use.

There were a couple of bumps in the onboarding, however, they were always on top of things and quickly corrected course.

Protecting our company and ensuring we have full assingment of IP rights.

From the start, Oyster's sales team has gone above and beyond to ensure our needs have been met. Even long after signing, they have been available to answer questions and facilitate any concerns beyond the scope of the support team. The entire process as a whole has been very seamless, easy and reliable -- especially the onboarding process and the use of the dashboard. In fact, we chose Oyster after evaluating many multiple EOR's... And have chosen them again for additional hires in other countries.

The support team seems to have had turnover that was frustrating at the beginning... And especially the delay in responding to emails. When they reply, they seem to resolve the questions...but sometimes it does take longer than expected to get a reply.

We are USA base company that needs to hire individuals in other countries, without having a company nor infrastructure within those companies. Oyster provides are turnkey solution to allow us to scale internationally.

I always liked Oyster and there is nothing specific to which I don't like in oysters

It sounds like Oyster, in this context, serves as a valuable tool for managing and tracking salary-related records within your company. The platform appears to offer convenient features

Easy to use, reactive answers from customer service, I am very happy with Oyster.

The only constraint is that the timesheets are not very flexible and need the CS support for some info input.

It is the direct link between me and my company and allows me working from another country.

Ease in raising Invoice and get the payments on time

Not able to edit invoice even before approval or rejection

Helps in receiving payments from USA to India

"I find the platform incredibly user-friendly and efficient. The interface is intuitive, making navigation seamless. The features are robust, providing a comprehensive toolset for various tasks. Overall, a top-notch user experience."

There is nothing to dislike about Oyster :-)

Its solves all my payroll issues and clearly explain about my employment benefits.

They made the onboarding process extremely easy from start to finish. They were always responsive and willing to help in a promptly manner.

So far I have not had anything not to like about Oyster

It is allowing my company to hire me from a country in which they do not have presence

Make things easy, automatized and transparent.

Would be nice to have a way to check/test if bank information is correct and payments will happen successfully

Send and receive payments between countries

Support Team is fantastic Platform is great Advisory and support is incredible

Nothing standing out - best platform anf service out there

Countries we dont have a payroll or entity

The customer support desk for the frequency

To get in touch by phone to enhance the ease of use

Payment

Oyster helps you with every single thing that you can think of, even if you have trouble with the platform and contact your account manager or your CS manager they'll help besides their job title and besides their skills. And if they don't know how to solve it or how to help you with that they'll tell and they'll find the correct department or person.

They don't provide financial advise, regarding relocations, but that's the only problem that I can find

I can hire a lot of people where I don't have an entity, I can do it through Oyster (either where they have an entity, or they hire a 3rd party to be in the arrangement).

Exceptional and efficiently fast customer service!

Ability to see a comprehensive review of benefits offered to an employee.

Oyster is allowing us, as a small U.S.-based business, to hire internationally when we have no experience doing so. They offer clear explanations and ensure we understand what's going on during the process.

It's very easy to use and very practical, everything you need about your work as paperwork,days of vacation it's all in one place

There is no such a thing as everything is good

Everything from your vacation working hours payslips if any problem Oyster will solve
