"Great Account managers and quick support"
What do you like best about Oyster HR?

As we have worked with other EOR partners, I can say that Oyster is providing the best quality services and taking care of its customers. I really appreciate the dedicated representatives at Oyster who are always there to support and solve all kinds of topics regarding our foreign employees. Another great thing in cooperation is that there is a constant development of the platform and available information.

What do you dislike about Oyster HR?

Overall I'm very happy with the cooperation, just sometimes it's more difficult to work with entities, where Oyster has local partners and not their own legal entity.

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

As the local market is very small, we have a chance to hire anywhere in the world and get the best talent joining our company via Oyster, and that boosts the company's development, as we have access to a wide pool of specialists.

"Oyster make international hiring so much easier!"
What do you like best about Oyster HR?

Oyster provides a dedicated team to contact should you have any questions. They are super helpful and responsive, making hiring internationally less daunting!

What do you dislike about Oyster HR?

Hiring Internationally takes more time due to having to understand the legalities. This is not due to Oyster though, who are always so quick to support.

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

Being able to employee Internationally legally means that we can expand our business more quickly. They help us understand employment legislation in countries we have never operated in.

"The best EOR ever"
What do you like best about Oyster HR?

OysterHR is not the first EOR that I've used, and therefore I can say with confidence that it's the best out there. The onboarding experience is super smooth. Support is incredibly quick and actually resolves your queries instead of just pinging more questions back at you or sending a link to their FAQs. Knowledge about different countries' legislations is second to none. The user experience of their online portal is great, website is easy to navigate and clear where to find things. Automated invoices and payments make my life incredibly easy. The fact that it's registered in the US and there's no VAT charged on salaries is super helpful for a small business like us that's not VAT registered. Honestly, I could go on and on. I'm a massive fan.

What do you dislike about Oyster HR?

There's nothing about Oyster that I dislike so far. They've delivered a perfect service and I cannot think of anything else that they could be doing better at the moment.

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

If not for Oyster, as a small business we would not be able to hire our full-time employee who's based in another country than our business legal entity. Furthermore, it's great to have HR support who will look into any contractual details and answer any questions at a lightning speed.
