Without a solution like Oyster, it’s not even worth the hassle. You just end up deciding, β€œWe’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.

Should you expand your team through an employer of record or global contractors?

Hiring contractors is an effective way to access global talent. However, if you misclassify an employee as a contractor, you may incur fines and penalties. Minimize the risk with Oyster.
