As a global employer of record (EOR) service provider, Oyster is passionate about supporting People and HR leaders in solving the hiring challenges that hinder companies from achieving their growth and expansion goals.
That’s why we’re proud to partner with communities like HR Ninjas, the largest community of in-house HR professionals in the U.K., with over 37,000 members. Erin Goodey, Oyster’s Director of People Services, is an active member of the community and regularly shares her global HR expertise by answering questions about cross-border employment.
“Being able to support the HR Ninjas community as their preferred global employment partner means I get to combine my passion for global employment with my love of connecting people. It’s genuinely fulfilling to help Ninjas explore new talent markets and grow globally with confidence.”
—Erin Goodey, Director of People Services at Oyster
How Oyster unlocks value for HR Ninjas
People leaders in the HR Ninjas community often work at U.K.-based companies that are looking to expand beyond the U.K. Whether it’s to find in-demand skillsets, expand into new markets, or save on labor costs, they know they need to look beyond borders to grow their team.
But figuring out the logistics of cross-border employment can be daunting, given the complexity of labor laws, tax regulations, and compliance risks. These challenges can sometimes hold companies back and hinder business growth.
Oyster’s employer of record (EOR) service helps companies hire and manage talent in 180+ countries. We make it easy to onboard employees or contractors, ensure compliance with local labor laws, and expand globally without adding HR overhead.
Whether you’re a startup or an enterprise, Oyster handles contracts, onboarding, payroll, benefits, and more, so you can focus on scaling your team.
Here’s what one HR Ninjas member, an HR Manager at a London-based audio visual solutions company, had to say about working with Oyster to onboard their first global employee:
“Partnering with Oyster HR has streamlined our overseas working relationship to ensure our employee is treated and respected in line with their country employment law regulations. Any questions asked to the team have been dealt with in a professional and clear manner. The experience has been exemplary and we look forward to our ongoing working relationship.”
—Jo Harris, HR Manager at AT&C
The impact of HR Ninjas + Oyster partnership
We’re delighted to report that Oyster has already helped 29 HR Ninjas members hire 54 team members across 22 countries, with the most popular hiring destinations being Spain, India, Portugal, and Australia.
The companies we’ve worked with are often startups or SMBs in the software, service, and consulting sectors seeking talent in tech, finance, and go-to-market roles. By partnering with Oyster, these companies have been able to access top talent, scale quickly, and ensure cross-border compliance while saving time and effort for their HR teams. In addition, these companies have saved a combined total of $8,838 per month in hiring costs thanks to Oyster’s exclusive partner discount.
Here are some of the problems we’ve helped HR Ninjas members solve:
- A London-based tech company needed a trustworthy solution to hire in Asia, especially since it was their first experience with cross-border hiring.
- A Leicester-based real estate firm found the tech talent they needed in Europe, but didn’t know how to compliantly hire that person, including managing their payroll and benefits.
- An Australian eyewear brand wanted to market their product in Europe, so they needed to hire a sales manager based in Europe.
Best of all, these companies were able to solve their hiring challenges without any extra hassle or admin burden for their internal team. Here’s what one HR Ninjas member, a People leader at a U.K.-based real estate firm looking for tech talent, said about their partnership with Oyster:
“Oyster is really great. Seamless. We used Oyster as our EOR in Poland. It was so simple and straightforward and has been easy to manage since setting up. I’d highly recommend.”
—Maria Hawley, Director of People at Fisher German
