Step 1:
Define your needs
First, we’ll discuss your contractors and goals. Then, we’ll explore potential risks, different employment models, and costs to create a plan of action.
Step 2:
Implement the process
Next, we’ll align stakeholders (including your contractors), create a step-by-step plan, attach deadlines, and receive approval from our legal team.
Step 3:
Ensure success
Our team will check in weekly to ensure all steps are moving forward smoothly. You’ll also be able to monitor the onboarding through our platform.
Without a solution like Oyster, it’s not even worth the hassle. You just end up deciding, ‘We’re not going to hire there.’ It basically restricts you from getting access to talent. Oyster takes that all away. That’s what makes Oyster great.

Once all of the paperwork is done,
each step is so well described and so well documented that you know what's next. The onboarding couldn't be quicker. It's incredible.
