"Oyster were a key piece for expanding our team in Europe"
What do you like best about Oyster HR?

The Oyster team was very supportive and provided guidance when we were about to hire new team members in Europe. They were very responsive to my emails and polite with my team and our candidates. I also like that the platform interface is user-friendly.

What do you dislike about Oyster HR?

My experience with Oyster has been pretty positive. Maybe something I would like to recommend to the Oyster team is to ensure that the notes saved in every new hire form are included as an attachment in the new hire's documentation. I mention this because I added some notes to the "comments" section, and when I was trying to find those notes in the new hire's profile, they were gone.

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

Oyster is helping us by hiring new team members in Europe since we don't have an established entity there yet. We have been able to expand our operations/business impact when having new talent in new territories.

"Onboarding was convenient & straightforward"
What do you like best about Oyster HR?

Having the ability to work legally was very important & Oyster's local partner Interloop was also well represented. The user interface worked well which helped with organization.

What do you dislike about Oyster HR?

The monthly fee is a bit pricey. If the price was a little more competitive, it would be less of a drain on company funds.

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

Allowed my company who is based in the UK to legally hire me.

"Amazing tool for EMS"
What do you like best about Oyster HR?

Pretty great thing about Oyster is ease of finding all the documents at one place. But 1 feature which stood apart was an option to request letters needed for generic processes like applying for a credit card or for visa application. I find the tool very easy to use and simple to understand.

What do you dislike about Oyster HR?

That the payslips are not put in a separate section or if they were I was unable to find that. The tool is amazing it's just I feel that it can be better at organising sections.

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

Oyster is solving the problem to hire people in different countries. Through Oyster we were able to hire throughout the globe which helped a lot. It has helped financially and technically as well.

"Working for a Spanish company from Serbia with Oyster made simple"
What do you like best about Oyster HR?

The most helpful side of Oyster is that my company doesn't have an office in my home country, but Oyster makes it work like it does. Verey smooth processes, organized and on time.

What do you dislike about Oyster HR?

I can't really think of any at the moment. Things are working great for me.

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

Oyster makes it possible to hire people outside my country and still secure the same working conditions in terms of salary, benefits, pension, health insurance etc. Employees seem to appreciate this kind of relationship very much as the process makes things much more simpler for them and they are not freelancers or consultants, they are treated as full-time employees with full benefits.

"Excellent service and HR structure"
What do you like best about Oyster HR?

This is my first contract engaged with Oyster and I must say that everything went so smooth during the onboarding process. The help desk is always reactiv and the Oyster team is really here to make your life easier. I got no issue so far within this first year and I can only recommand this plateform.

What do you dislike about Oyster HR?

Well, since I got no issue with Oyster I can't really say that I did not like something. As an improvement vision, I would like to see a business company credit card to allow employees to benefit from these advantages when the job position allows it of course.

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

Oyster allows me to be able to work from my country of residence without having to worry about the requirements of the HR system that the company I work for is requesting. I keep the local environment and laws for the contract.

"I believe that Oyster is a company very committed to the well-being of its employees."
What do you like best about Oyster HR?

Oyster has consistently demonstrated exceptional responsiveness, problem-solving skills, and efficiency in handling bureaucratic issues. Their dedication to employee support and well-being shines through in every interaction. Oyster team's proactive approach to addressing bureaucratic challenges is worth applauding. They stay updated with changes in regulations and compliance requirements. This attention to detail and thoroughness instills confidence in the company's operations and provides employees with peace of mind, knowing that their payroll and other administrative matters are handled with utmost professionalism.

What do you dislike about Oyster HR?

I am completely satisfied with my experience with Oyster. I just have one improvement suggestion: Streamlined Onboarding Process. Continuously review and streamline the onboarding process to reduce any potential bottlenecks and enhance the experience for new hires. A seamless onboarding process sets the right tone for an employee's journey with the company.

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

I am Brazilian and live in São Paulo, Brazil. I work for a company in the USA located in California. Oyster helped my company to hire me locally, following the labor laws of my country.

"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.

"What was a challenge is now an opportunity"
What do you like best about Oyster HR?

Oyster allows us to hire in any country, helping us have a more distributed and diverse workforce to support customers in a variety of time zones and languages.

What do you dislike about Oyster HR?

Navigating Oyster as an admin takes some getting used to.

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

From our second hire we were a globally distributed team. Oyster allows us to manage employees and contractors anywhere without stress. This means we can hire where the talent is instead of where our HR/employment knowledge is.

"Oyster - A Convenient Platform for International Hiring Needs"
What do you like best about Oyster HR?

Oyster is a fantastic platform for companies looking to employ talent in countries where they do not have a legal entity. The platform is straightforward to use and navigate, making it an excellent option for those unfamiliar with foreign employment laws and regulations. Additionally, Oyster's client support team is incredibly responsive and supportive, providing users with reassurance and confidence throughout employment.

What do you dislike about Oyster HR?

While Oyster's ticketing system works well for communication with the support team, the lack of phone support can be a drawback for some users. The back and forth via the ticketing system can become lengthy when attempting to clarify information or resolve issues. A more direct and immediate mode of communication would be preferable in certain situations.

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

An efficient and user-friendly employer of record platform for international hiring needs, including legal information.

"Excellent Service and Product"
What do you like best about Oyster HR?

The service at Oyster is top notch. I have monthly check in meetings with my account managers (I could have them more or less frequently if I would like), where we discuss any open issues or questions I have and any new developments with Oyster. Each time I have had to reach out to support, I have had a good experience with quick replies and thorough responses that I can trust. I have used another EOR service in the past and I can say Oyster's service is 100x better and more reliable. Additionally, the platform itself is really easy to use with intuitive features.

What do you dislike about Oyster HR?

Oyster is still rolling out some key features to make things more automated and easier to use, but in the few months that I have been with Oyster, many of the things I have wanted have either been rolled out or added to the roadmap. The platform is still very user friendly and I think it will just continue to get better as they make enhancements.

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

We used a different EOR service in the past and were very frustrated with the service we were getting. Oyster provides us with the information that we need to properly manage and pay our team members in countries we don't have entities in.

"Best switch we ever made"
What do you like best about Oyster HR?

The incredible response time! I always have answers to my questions almost immediately!

What do you dislike about Oyster HR?

Nothing that I can think of! The last PEO we switched over from was so dismal. I can't believe we wasted so much time before we got oyster!

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

Oyster is helping us onboard international employees in as little as 1.5 weeks! We were losing potential hires because our last PEO was taking so long!
