Plans And Pricing:

Oyster has a platform that allows you to decide whether to hire talents with them standing as the employers of record or hire their services as contractors. You are allowed to work with two contractors for free on the platforms. More than that would require a paid subscription. Below are the available plans.

Customer Support

According to research, Oyster has one of the best customer services. Their support team is proactive in providing the necessary information you need to take your business to the next level. You are allowed to reach via phone, email, online request form, and live chat.

Company expansion supported
We finally have the ability to recruit from outside our jurisdiction and we've had some amazing new hires.
Like:

Remote payroll solved
The onboarding process was easy to navigate, and things that I was worried about working at a non-local company were dealt with easily and efficiently, such as health insurance, payroll and work permit.

Pretty good
All the issues we thought we would encounter with remote employment were solved with Oyster.
Dislike:
  • The time for new contracts to be drawn up can vary, and sometimes we're left waiting a lot longer then expected for new hires. Its almost impossible to predict when the contracts will come through.

We just started working with talent from abroad and Oyster made the onboarding process so simple.
Like:

Dislike:
