Great for small businesses

Oyster helped me to onboard contractors from different countries. It makes the process transparent for everyone and I don’t need to manage paperwork anymore

PROS

I love the ease of onboarding into Oyster and how fast and convenient it is to set up a new remote contractor from any place in the world. Invoice management is seamless. The price is fair for the services I receive.

CONS

Everything is good from my perspective.

Reason for choosing Oyster

Seemed easier to set up and is more cost effective for my needs

Do not use Oyster

Never recommend to anyone. Worst experience ever.

PROS

Nothing I can mention which I like about oyster.

CONS

They overpromise and under deliver. They claim to onboard people globally. APAC region they work with multiple sub vendors.. which create lot of issue. They don’t have local presence. For APAC region better use other platforms. Oyster not doing well at all.

The customer service can be poor when trying to resolve issues. just sending back an online form you have already looked at is not really good enough

Seamless hiring process!

Very good experience so far with Oyster! Nothing to worry about.

PROS

Oyster staff has been very helpful and responsive. The platform is very easy to use and we are able to hire our staff overseas. Oyster takes care of all the regulations and management in the country where the employee is hired.

CONS

As a small company, we don't need to integrate Oyster with other software. So no problem around that.

Reason for choosing Oyster

Oyster was very quick in answering our questions and the platform seemed very easy to use.
