As we talked to companies interested in embedded global hiring, one question came up over and over again: how can I go to market faster while keeping users on my platform?
Some are already convinced they need embedded global hiring but want to move faster than a full API build. Others want to test the waters before committing roadmap time and engineering resources. Embeddable Modules were built for exactly this: a way to launch global hiring with a platform-native feel in days, not months.
What is an "Embeddable Module"?
Embeddable Modules are pre-built, drop-in UI components that render directly inside your existing screens. They handle the behind-the-scenes work, freeing up development resources on your side.
Here's how it fits alongside the other two paths we offer:
- Quick Link: Send users to a co-branded version of Oyster with one click from your platform. The fastest way to validate demand.
- Embeddable Module: Drop a pre-built Oyster component into your UI with a few lines of code, and get a fully functional workflow running inside your platform.
- Full API: Build your own UI and customize workflows against our API for a completely native experience. You decide the breadth and depth of workflows to white label.
The advantage of Embeddable Modules is context paired with speed: you can offer core pieces of global hiring within your platform in days. You can pair modules with Quick Links or APIs, or use them on their own, to give your product an edge in the global employment market.
Embeddable Modules in action
So what can you do with Embeddable Modules? To give you an idea of the possibilities, here's what three of our embeddable modules look like once they're live inside an HRIS or ATS platform:
Employment Cost Calculator. Provide country-specific cost-of-employment estimates, along with a full breakdown of what's actually driving the number. For example, place this at the offer stage or workforce planning module of your HRIS or ATS platform so your customers can get an instant, accurate international hiring estimate without leaving your platform.
New Hire Form. Kicks off a compliant EOR hire directly from the workflow your customers already use. Drop the New Hire Form right where your customers add new employees, so your customers can add an international hire to Oyster from within your platform.
Oyster AI. Embed our AI chatbot wherever your customers need global HR and compliance answers. As your customers reach the candidate offer stage in the ATS or run into a tricky time off question in the HRIS, they can use the embedded chatbot to get specific answers on the spot, instead of leaving your platform to search online or dig through Oyster’s help center.
In addition to these modules we offer other modules such as time off submission, expense management, and more.
Why start with Embeddable Modules?
This isn't a hypothetical bet. One of the largest HRIS platforms found that nearly a quarter of its customers already employ people internationally. The demand for global hiring is already sitting in your customer base, whether or not your product acknowledges it.
- Modular by design. Ship one module now, add others later at your own pace, and pair them with Quick Links or the API as your needs grow.
- Contextual utility. The value lands exactly where and when the customer needs it. A single calculator can unblock a customer's planning cycle, or multiple modules can run to create a more complete global hiring journey.
- Low investment, low effort. Implementation takes days. That turns "can we support global hiring?" from a roadmap debate into a confident “yes we can”.
How can you get started?
The path is short. Sign a partnership under the commercial model that fits your business, install the modules from our SDK library, add a few lines of code to your existing UI, and go live.
And as with every Oyster Embedded path, you don't do it alone. Every partner gets a dedicated Partner Manager and specialized developer support through the build phase and beyond. When something gets complicated, you get support from someone who knows what to do, not just an automated alert.
Ready to go further?
Embedding global hiring is never all-or-nothing. You're choosing a point on a flexibility spectrum, and you can move along it as your customers, your evidence, and your roadmap allow.
Once an embedded module or two is live and proving value, the natural next step for platforms that want full white-labeling is the API. We’ll discuss that next. Stay tuned!
