Without a solution like Oyster, it’s not even worth the hassle. You just end up deciding, “We’re not going to hire there.” It basically restricts you from getting access to talent. Oyster takes that all away. That’s what makes Oyster great.

Should you employ a contractor or a full-time employee?

Hiring contractors is an effective way to access global talent. However, if you misclassify an employee as a contractor, you may incur fines and penalties. Minimize the risk with Oyster.

Will the team member's day-to-day work be primarily focused on providing or supporting services within Turkey?

Do you have any existing or POSSIBLE sales to customers in Turkey?

For instance, if an Israel salesperson working for a US company is selling within Israel, the answer would be “Yes”. However, if that same Israel salesperson is selling broadly within EMEA, the answer would be “No”.
