“
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."

“
We trust with Oyster that we did do it right because we enlisted their help to help us do these things perfectly. So from a leader perspective, I can sleep easy at night knowing that we're not breaking some law that I didn't even know existed.”
Pete Stanga

“
The value of using Oyster is first, from an employer standpoint, the risk mitigation. Oyster is really on top of all of the laws and regulations in these countries, and we have a trusted partner who can carry out these hires and employ our staff."
FAQs
What does global hiring mean?
Global hiring, or global employment, is the ability to hire, pay, and manage talent based in other countries. For example, if your business primarily operates in Canada, a global employment platform like Oyster would enable you to hire and pay contractors and full-time Team Members located in other parts of the world.
What is an EOR?
An employer of record (EOR) is an entity that legally employs workers on behalf of another business. An EOR takes full responsibility for all aspects of employment, including compliance, payroll, taxes, and benefits. Oyster offers an EOR solution in 130+ countries powered by an automated global employment platform to streamline all employment functions.
Is Oyster the legal employer of global Team Members?
For full-time Team Members, Oyster is the legal employer and is solely and exclusively responsible for their employment and engagement. Team Members employed by Oyster provide services to your organization as agreed upon in a Service Agreement.
