"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.

"Highly recommended partner to scale your business"

They are very client-focused, and that's noticeable in all communications, either with our assigned CSMs or with each one of the HSMs assigned to our new hires. They have always provided an incredible level of support.

"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!

"Perfect solution for hiring a remote team"
What do you like best about Oyster HR?

Oyster makes it incredibly easy to quickly hire remote talent for your team. The onboarding process is straight forward and fast, with a Oyster support member always there to assist.

What do you dislike about Oyster HR?

What could be improved is for Oyster to provide us as an employer with a bit more information on the actual salary details of our team members. We would like to have a better insight in the social security contributions as well as taxes that our team members pay, as this helps to understand their actual net income and thus be in a better position to relate to them when negotiating salaries.

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

We are looking to extend our team with the best talent, regardless of their location. Thus, we need a way to be able to safely hire talent from other countries, which Oyster enables us to do.

"Oyster Fills a Need for My Small Business"
What do you like best about Oyster HR?

I only use contractors and Oyster provides an easy way for me to pay contractors both in country and around the world. I've used contractors from the USA, Canada, and Columbia, and it works for everyone. They manage the payments and create the tax forms necessary for year-end. The price for contractors is reasonable. Oyster is a good choice for a small business leveraging contractors.

What do you dislike about Oyster HR?

It's a bit difficult to reach someone for support by phone, and my contractors would prefer to receive pay quicker (takes about two weeks from invoice approval to their receipt of payment.

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

Oyster takes care of payments and contractor setup (in and out of country) so I don't have to worry about any related regulations, and minimizes my responsibilities for tax and other compliance issues. My business benefits by being able to obtain the best help possible at competitive rates, reduces my risk, and allows me to focus on my business more.

"Good Customer Service, quick responses and on-time"
What do you like best about Oyster HR?

Customer Service responds quickly and with helpful information.

What do you dislike about Oyster HR?

I would appreciate a guide to come back to when having questions and/or to communicate in the local language, as legal or labor language in the local language is more precise, so I don't have to translate it.

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

It solves the scenario of working remotely for a company based in another country.

"Excellent resource for all those who are interested in remote work!"
What do you like best about Oyster HR?

I have have recenly discovered the Global Employment Pass by Oyster and really love what they offer. It is an awesome resource - the "Oyster Academy" courses focus on remote fundamentals, how to organise your time and stay productive and creating effective distributed teams. Courses are clear, engaging, user-friendly and really informative. Brilliant idea to offer a certification upon completion of the course too. OysterHR website features also blog articles, interview skills tips and podcasts - terrific selection of topics. Can't recommend it enough for everyone looking to start their remote journey or working in a company that is planning to explore more flexibility in their way of working.

What do you dislike about Oyster HR?

I find the resources offered really helpful and looking forward to exploring how they will develop them!

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

Using their day to day processes, systems and employee examples, Oyster is showing how effective and efficient distributed teams can work without compromising employee well being, work life balance and productivity. Inpiring to see!
