Hiring across borders sounds exciting, but the paperwork and compliance risks can quickly turn it into a mess. That’s where Oyster steps in. Oyster is a global Employer of Record (EOR) platform that helps companies hire full-time employees in over 180 countries, without needing to set up legal entities in each one.
It handles the hard stuff like compliance, payroll, taxes, and benefits, so businesses can focus on finding the right talent, not navigating foreign labor laws.
What makes Oyster stand out is how easy it makes the hiring process feel. Once a company decides to hire someone in another country, Oyster steps in as the legal employer on paper.
This means Oyster takes care of employment contracts that meet local laws, onboarding that actually makes sense for the employee’s region, and all the legal paperwork that usually slows things down. It’s built for remote work, so the platform keeps everything digital, organized, and accessible from anywhere.
The platform also takes care of monthly payroll, making sure employees are paid correctly and on time in their local currency. Taxes? Sorted. Local benefits like healthcare and paid leave? That’s covered too.
Plus, it’s not just a backend tool, it offers support and guidance, with built-in cost calculators and legal insights to help companies make better decisions before hiring.
Oyster isn’t only for big teams, either. Whether a startup is hiring its first overseas employee or a growing business is expanding rapidly, it scales without the usual headaches.
Instead of spending weeks learning the labor laws of a new country, teams can onboard talent in days. No legal entity needed, no surprises down the road, just a smoother way to build a global team.
