Back in 2019, Oyster began with a question: How can we make global employment easier for companies and talented workers?
Building an all-star team shouldn’t be limited by borders. We’re on a mission to make it easier than ever for growing companies to hire, pay, and take care of brilliant employees—wherever they are in the world.
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.
With Oyster’s expansive country coverage, you can compliantly hire employees and contractors without setting up a local entity yourself.
No more payroll headaches. With one automated payroll platform, you can pay all your employees on time and in their local currencies.

Each of these principles is at the heart of what we do.
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.
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.
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.
