Oyster HR

Oyster HR stands apart in the EOR space with its mission-driven approach and extensive global coverage. Founded in 2020, Oyster has quickly grown to serve companies across 180+ countries, making it one of the most geographically comprehensive platforms available.

Mission-Driven Philosophy

Oyster's mission goes beyond simple employment services - they aim to create a more equal world by enabling anyone to work for any company, regardless of location. This philosophy permeates everything they do, from fair pricing structures to their commitment to employee well-being globally.

Comprehensive Global Coverage

With support for 180+ countries, Oyster offers one of the most extensive geographic footprints in the industry. This makes them ideal for companies with truly global ambitions or those hiring in less common markets. Their local expertise ensures compliance even in complex jurisdictions.

Benefits and Compensation

Oyster's benefits marketplace connects you with local providers offering competitive health insurance, retirement plans, and other benefits. They negotiate group rates and pass savings to customers. The platform makes it easy to offer equitable benefits regardless of where team members are located.

Platform Features

The Oyster platform includes everything needed for global team management: automated contract generation, compliant time off tracking, expense management, and equipment ordering. Their equity compensation tools let you grant stock options to international team members while maintaining full compliance.

Employee Experience

Oyster pays special attention to the employee experience, with a self-service portal that makes it easy for team members to manage their employment details, benefits, time off, and more. The platform is translated into multiple languages and designed to work well even in regions with slower internet connections.

Support and Onboarding

While Oyster's setup time is longer than some competitors (averaging 5 days), this reflects their thorough onboarding process. Their support team is highly responsive and knowledgeable, with particular strength in handling complex employment situations.

Security and Compliance

Oyster maintains SOC 2 Type II certification and complies with GDPR and other regional data protection standards. They conduct regular compliance audits and maintain comprehensive insurance coverage.

Ideal For

Oyster is perfect for mission-driven companies that want a partner sharing their values, businesses expanding into less common markets, and organizations committed to providing equal opportunities for remote workers worldwide.
