With the help of Oyster and their super friendly team, we've been able to rapidly scale our team and hire the best talent without boundaries. Remote hiring is becoming one of our superpowers and Oyster enables us to work with the best folks from 10 countries and counting. We no longer have to limit our pipelines of candidates based on our presence or ability to organize payroll and benefits, because we offloaded all the local complexity to Oyster. Being able to get consistent payroll and benefits in countries around the globe enables us to focus on building the strongest team and our business.
Although I like Oyster's service and customer focus, I think their pricing is pretty steep. I understand that complexity has its cost, but I would love to see the prices decrease when our team grows or when Oyster grows (reducing their cost). If they're able to maintain the level of service and can reduce cost as they scale, I believe they'll be even more successful in leveling the playing field for global talent.
We hired 15+ people across 10+ countries without headaches, providing a streamlined onboarding and payroll experience for all team members through Oyster. We're able to hire the best talent from across the globe without being limited by borders.
As a small nonprofit, we appreciate that Oyster's team sees us as a valued client and partner. They've invested in learning alongside us and listened to our input on new features we'd like to see on the platform. You can tell that Oyster's culture is positive and professional - this comes through in our interactions. I like that they're committed to their own team's success and happiness and ours as well. It feels like a real partnership. We have a fantastic account manager who is helping to keep everyone aligned and help us get the most out of the platform. We also have access to experts within the org - e.g., product and legal - which feels empowering.
It's taken us a little while to learn about how our respective organizations work, how to properly involve the right people and resolve issues when they come up, however our Oyster team takes responsibility to track down answers and improve process where it's needed (vs. making excuses) and that has really strengthened the trust and relationship,
Working together in a predictable, repeatable way - learning from each onboarding experience. The benefits to our organization have been to reduce our internal cost of managing contractors and to enable us to hire talent on staff globally - a critial part of our strategy.
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.
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.
Allowed my company who is based in the UK to legally hire me.
Oyster website is user-friendly and easy to navigate. They also have a very well-designed interface that enhance the overall user experience. Oyster has a reliable customer support system.
Pricing could be more competitive, having said that, I think my company can find it affordable and aligned with the value you could expect to receive. You get what you pay.
Its user-friendly interface, efficient tracking capabilities, and seamless integration have significantly streamlined our business expenses. This tool is an indispensable asset for optimizing financial management.
Support is fantastic. We also left a competitor to partner with Oyster HR. The competitor had a ton of hidden fees that you wouldn't notice unless you have a diligent controller. Oyster is very transparent and incredibly helpful
Not much to dislike. One suggestion would be to find localized employee healthcare benefits. The off-the-shelf healthcare benefits are global, which is great for digital nomads. Most of the time, we've found that local healthcare plans are more effective for employees and have better costs for employers. Oyster helped us through this process, but seeing this as a standard option for others would be nice.
Oyster helps us onboard, pay, and provide benefits to our valued employees outside of the U.S. This is done with a beautiful user interface, well-built automation, and top-notch customer support.
I had the opportunity to use OysterHR for my business's HR needs and I am thoroughly impressed. The onboarding process was incredibly smooth and streamlined, allowing me to easily add new employees to the system and get them set up with all of their necessary paperwork and accounts. Additionally, the off-boarding process was just as easy, allowing me to quickly terminate employees and ensure that all of their accounts and access were properly closed. One area where OysterHR really stood out was in its attention to legal concerns around employment. The platform includes a wealth of resources and guidance on employment law, ensuring that I am always following best practices and staying compliant with the latest regulations. I can use their tools to help me understand the full cost of hiring an employee, including taxes and local requirements. Overall, I highly recommend OysterHR for any business looking for a comprehensive HR solution. The platform is easy to use, provides robust features for onboarding and off-boarding, and offers invaluable guidance on legal concerns.
Some features are a little buggy, but reloading seems to help the issue. The pricing model can get a bit high after hiring more than 3 people. It would be nice to be able to have a team in one country for a set cost, instead of per employee each month.
Oyster ensures that employees in other countries have their legal needs met and are paid in their currency. This allows my HR team to spend less time researching laws to ensure we can hire and that the employee is treated fairly according to their location.
The Team was incredible - professional, efficient and highly knowledgeable - activating the company was fast and stress-free, and the ability to customize the process to align with our company practices was brilliant.
To be honest - there has been nothing I have found that I dislike about Oyster. The portal, process of onboarding, activating the company profile, expenses approval, and invoices - they all add value and are easy to use.
We value Oyster to onboard the best skills in countries where we do not have a legal entity - Oyster allows us the freedom to hire in so many countries and has opened up our recruitment options. With Oyster we are able to find and engage the best skills globally with ease whilst still knowing we are compliant in a country where we have no legal entity.
Oyster is quite the companion, timely and exact. Core to its values and exact to it's processes. Immediate feedback and a mind blowing experience for remote usage!
Delay in local currency payment is a little alarming though n
Delayed payments and Immediately efficient feedback as well as a Personalised inquiry and smooth interaction
