Very wide and strong benefits for employees, which make employees concentrate on their tasks. Oyster Apps are very user-friendly UI which makes scheduled tasks for HR very easy.
Not many so far. I would suggest my ex-HR people work at Oyster if there is any chance. Especially for the continuous improvement on that App.
I used to work with one of the largest IT companies in the world, but so many complicated internal systems for HR/GR even though they are the leader of DX... The Oyster App is a such nice and advanced system which make all users' life very easy.
Helpful examples for each points and the videos coming from actual employees.
I guess it's not going to remain free forever, is it?
Onboarding new staff in remote companies
They prepare you beforehand so you understand what's expected, they offer great course's that equip you with understanding and how you'd meet with their expectations!
Nothing at the moment, nothing that I'd pinpoint and say nothings working they such a great and better place! Awesome awesome 👏 place!
Emotional needs Emotional intelligence and offer great opportunities, inclusivity and diversity oyster employs despite where you at in the world
Everything is simple to consult and manage. The data aggregation is astonishing, submitting expenses is easy, consulting the docs and benefits is simple, and the time tracking is also helpful.
the process of submitting can be confusing with the title and the description, and you could add aggregated expenses, like "trip to the office", and add the flights, the hotel, and whatever is related to that.
Working for a company that does not have offices/legal team in my country
Hiring outside of your home country can be daunting. Various legalize for that specific country, holidays, terms and conditions, the list goes on. Oyster allows me to go to their portal and see up front what it will cost me to hire my candidate, they take care of all the contracts and questions the new hire has and the process is a smooth transition to the hire date.
My only con is that sometimes due to folks being in a different time zone when an urgent question comes up, there is a delay in responding. If someone can cover this 24/7 that would be great!
Oyster allows me to be more productive as I also support a CEO, Founder and CFO and run our office and HR functions as that is not my primary job. Oyster has allowed us to open the door to consider more global candidates.
Oyster helped a lot in easing the process of working for a foreign company. It is like working for a company in your country with all the legal correctly accounted for. And then enjoying being an employee like any other while working for foreign companies that may not be able to hire you in your country without needing you to go contractor mode. Also, the level of support that I got from Oyster crew is amazing, any problem that could arise will be solved very fast.
Sometimes I get more than one requirement to fulfill some legalese needed, but honestly, nothing important. I am just writing something to dislike!
I have no further need to worry about being a contractor anymore in the face of my country's legislation. That means I don't need any financial and legal administrator, which had a cost. Fewer things to bother at the end of the month thanks to Oyster.
With the help of Oyster and their super friendly team, we've been able to rapidly scale our team and hire the best talent without boundaries. Remote hiring is becoming one of our superpowers and Oyster enables us to work with the best folks from 10 countries and counting. We no longer have to limit our pipelines of candidates based on our presence or ability to organize payroll and benefits, because we offloaded all the local complexity to Oyster. Being able to get consistent payroll and benefits in countries around the globe enables us to focus on building the strongest team and our business.
Although I like Oyster's service and customer focus, I think their pricing is pretty steep. I understand that complexity has its cost, but I would love to see the prices decrease when our team grows or when Oyster grows (reducing their cost). If they're able to maintain the level of service and can reduce cost as they scale, I believe they'll be even more successful in leveling the playing field for global talent.
We hired 15+ people across 10+ countries without headaches, providing a streamlined onboarding and payroll experience for all team members through Oyster. We're able to hire the best talent from across the globe without being limited by borders.
They take care of everything. They respond quickly, and whenever I need help with something (paperwork, insurrance questions,...) they handle it
It would be great if Oyster adds support for private retirement plans
Working as an FTE with a company in another country
Response times are very short and the support is always comprehensive and articulated in a clear manner.
It does not cover all the geographical locations our company needs.
Oyster helps us hire in locations where we do not have an entity and provides support in managing this workforce.
their customer support has a very Quick response, everytime i need something they respond in under 24 hours.
Sometimes i get notifications that are not for me, and since they service the whole world, if you need to find something in their knowledge base you have a lot to look at.
My employer is in a different country and Oyter is here to connect us and act as an HR for me to be employed to my employer
Local support for local needs. Oyster provides the support for local employees.
Maybe, because of the size of team team in Brazil, responses might take longer than expected. However, in general, the response time is fair.
Manage local (Brazil) workforce
It's a really straightforward platform in which you can easily check your payslip and all the information you need.
Sometimes is difficult to have a prompt feedback from a given request.
It allows to work fully remote with efficiency.
As a small non-profit, working with Oyster allows us to offer best-in-class HR and benefits.
We've mostly had prompt service, but sometimes it takes time to receive an answer, and they're expanding geography, so we've had to wait to hire someone, too.
Providing cost-effective hiring and HR solutions.
Engaged and responsive account reps, customer involvement in betas and new feature launches, mision-driven B-corp that is working to enable global hiring.
There can be some back and forth in countries where Oyster engages 3rd party EOR subcontractors vs. the markets where they have direct entities and can therefore get quicker responses to support questions
We have team members across 10+ countries and Oyster allows us a single platform and point of contact to compliantly employe and pay them despite all the complexities involved in local compliance.
