The best jobs should be open to everyone
Back in 2019, Oyster began with a question: How can we make global employment easier for companies and talented workers?

Today, our fully-distributed team is based in 60+ countries and this number is expanding every week. We embrace the benefits and opportunities that come with global employment—and we’re working together to provide them to you too.

Our core values
Each of these principles is at the heart of what we do.
We elevate talent
Great talent can be found worldwide—but it’s been hard to tap into historically. We enable our customers to connect with the global talent pool, which opens up more opportunities for knowledge workers and helps them realize their full potential.
By empowering our internal teams as well, we inspire, energize, and establish ourselves as the most human-centric company in the industry.
We build trust
Mutual trust is a key ingredient to our success. To build trust with our customers, we maintain an active flow of information and communication, follow through with our commitments, and provide 24/7 support.
With that said, we recognize no ambitious reach comes without failure. In the face of challenges, our trust in one another stands firm. We learn, adapt, and move forward.
We thrive together
Our team is on a shared mission to make global employment accessible to everyone. We’ve intentionally gathered a variety of perspectives and experiences to stimulate innovation and reach this goal.
We always value the collective win over individual accomplishments—enforcing a sense of connection and belonging. Together, we’ll create something truly exceptional.
