Oyster goes beyond global coverage

Oyster now supports hiring outside of Earth! We are proud to be the first EOR for humans (and extraterrestrial lifeforms) anywhere in the Milky Way.

The Oyster logo against an outerspace galactic background, with information on how to hire from anywhere on it.

Let’s face it: the global talent pool is so 2025. Thanks to our amazing team at Oyster, you’ve hired top-tier engineers in Estonia, brilliant designers in Brazil, and marketing whizzes in Malaysia. But why limit your company’s growth to a single, slightly damp rock orbiting an average-sized yellow dwarf star?

Today, Oyster is thrilled to announce our most expansive update yet. We are officially taking remote work to the final frontier by becoming the universe's premier Intergalactic Employer of Record (IEOR).

Whether you’re looking to onboard a Martian rover mechanic, a Senior UX Designer from Alpha Centauri, or an amorphous cloud of sentient gas from the Orion Nebula, Oyster has you covered.

Out-of-This-World Features

Navigating cross-border compliance is tough, but cross-planetary compliance is a black hole. We’ve updated our platform to handle the unique challenges of a multi-planetary workforce:

  • Universal Payroll: Say goodbye to currency exchange headaches. We now seamlessly convert USD, EUR, and GBP into Galactic Credits, Unobtainium, or pressed Latinum. Plus, with our new Faster-Than-Light (FTL) transfer protocol, your interstellar contractors get paid on time, avoiding the standard 4-year light-speed delay.
  • Interplanetary Compliance: Did you know that on Kepler-186f, it's illegal to ask employees to work during a triple-moon eclipse? Or that Venusian labor laws mandate a 4-hour siesta when surface temperatures exceed 800°F? We keep track of the local celestial laws so you don't have to.
  • Stellar Benefits Packages: We’ve partnered with top providers across the quadrant to offer localized benefits. Your off-world team can now enjoy premium cosmic radiation insurance, zero-gravity chiropractic care, and a generous home-planet-rotation PTO policy.

A Seamless Onboarding Experience

Onboarding an extraterrestrial employee has never been easier. Our platform now supports over 6,000 known galactic dialects. Simply upload your new hire's DNA sequence or energetic frequency, and our automated system will generate a localized, compliant employment contract in their native telepathic resonance. We deeply understand the cultural sensitivities of hiring globally. That extends to navigating the nuances of bridging working styles from Mars to Venus, so we can all succeed together.

"We were struggling to find a prompt engineer who truly understood quantum mechanics," says one of our beta-testers. "Thanks to Oyster, we just hired a hyper-intelligent cephalopod from the Andromeda galaxy. The time zone difference is a bit brutal, but their code is flawless."

B-Corp Certified on every planet

We're committed to creating an ethical future of work, where folks anywhere can access amazing opportunities that uplift them and their communities. That's not going to stop as we pass the ozone layer. By using Oyster, you help mitigate the effects of brain drain on local communities from any planet. After all, our marketing team just finished watching Project Hail Mary, so we know how transformative it is for both business and humanity to collaborate outside of your star system.
