A word from Oyster's president.

As a mission-driven company, Oyster sees people at the core of what we do. Our focus and commitment to customers is part of who we are, and we are dedicated to empowering companies at each stage of their journey to quickly and compliantly hire global talent. 

Customer feedback and input is critical, especially as we enter the next stage of our growth journey. That’s why we’re thrilled to be recognized as a Leader in G2’s Winter Grid® Report in the Multi-Country Payroll category. 

This recognition is a result of verified user reviews from Oyster customers who rated us highly for things like ease-of-use, responsive support, and our global onboarding capabilities. 

As a young company, it’s humbling to receive this recognition from G2 and our customers so early on in our journey. We’ve been working hard to deliver a platform that meets and exceeds our customers’ expectations and it’s wonderful to hear that we’re on the right track. We know there is more work to be done, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to improve with the help of constructive and honest feedback. 

In addition to being a G2 Multi-Country Payroll Leader, we’re also delighted to receive high marks for Fastest Implementation in the same category and a Users Love Us recognition. 

All of this comes after a year of tremendous growth for Oyster, where we increased the number of team members on our platform by 40x and raised over $70M from our series A and series B funding rounds. In 2021, we also grew to 285 employees distributed across 50+ countries. 

Because Oyster is a fully distributed global company, we are uniquely positioned to provide real solutions for the businesses and team members who rely on us. We understand what it's like to operate and scale a global workforce and are committed to helping companies as they navigate the complexities of global employment, benefits, and compliance. 

The G2 reviews from our customers serve to highlight what can be accomplished when companies are able to eliminate the barriers to global hiring. We love it when our customers tell us that using Oyster has helped them hire quickly and without boundaries.

As we round out the year and look ahead to 2022, I’d like to thank all of Oyster’s customers and team members for their support, reviews, and valuable feedback. I want to thank them for trusting us to help them scale by hiring the best global talent. We take this responsibility seriously and know we must continually earn their trust and partnership. 

As the world continues to embrace remote and distributed hiring, we see our responsibility to each customer as more important than ever. Thank you for all of your support in 2021 and we look forward to achieving more with your help in 2022.
