"How we were able to expand our team!"
What do you like best about Oyster HR?

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.

What do you dislike about Oyster HR?

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.

"Easy to use and quick support"
What do you like best about Oyster HR?

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.

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

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

"Great support to hire globally"
What do you like best about Oyster HR?

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.

What do you dislike about Oyster HR?

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.

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

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

"Easy way to employ people in other countries!"
What do you like best about Oyster HR?

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.

What do you dislike about Oyster HR?

I haven't encountered anything I dislike yet.

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

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.

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.

"Hiring made EASY and RELIABLE!"
What do you like best about Oyster HR?

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.

What do you dislike about Oyster HR?

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.

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

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.
