Add external recruiters to Oyster to onboard talent faster
Do you work with external recruiters to bring in fresh talent? Now you can empower them with access to Oyster, so they can kickstart the hiring process and create contract agreements. The agreements will be saved and await review and approval by Oyster admins.
You can also tailor access to Oyster for other roles, such as team managers and separate admins for expenses, invoices, payroll, and time off. Learn more about each role and start assigning them for more efficient workflows.
Receive contextual guidance to handle offboarding more smoothly
There are many reasons for offboarding team members, such as when someone resigns or completes their contract. Regardless of the reason, it's vital to follow the correct process for a smooth and compliant transition.
That’s why we’ve made updates to ensure a smoother offboarding experience for you and your team members. These improvements include:
- Alerts indicating the minimum number of days required to process offboarding, plus guidance on next steps based on the offboarding reason selected.
- Notifications before the probationary period ends, so you can initiate offboarding requests on time.
