About Oyster

Our mission is to create a more equal world by making it possible for companies everywhere to hire people anywhere. We believe it should be easy for any company to hire any person, no matter where either is located in the world.

Now more than ever, smart companies can't allow the location of their HQ to dictate the size of their talent pool. Your next transformative hire could be anywhere.

Headquarters: US

Industry: HR Software

Company Values

The best jobs should be open to everyone

Oyster aspires to remove the barriers to cross-border employment so that talented people around the world can build a great career no matter where they live. We’re on a mission to make it easier than ever for growing companies to hire brilliant people—wherever they are in the world.

We also believe the most in-demand knowledge workers today want to leverage a global career perspective, the freedom to live where they want, and the security of full-fledged employment with benefits.

But today, the flow between talent and opportunity around the globe is still blocked by the costs and legal complexity companies face before they can fully employ in another country. Cross-border hiring is still arcane, remarkably un-transformed by software, and ripe for disruption.

We are also motivated by the opportunity for positive social impact. Removing these barriers makes the world a better place in three ways: 1) It helps redress inequalities of access to opportunity, 2) It allows for the distribution of wealth to places other than the major cities of the world, and 3) It supports the environmentally-friendly and business-smart shift to remote working.

Our software platform is created to solve the complexities of giving full-time, full-fledged employment to anyone in the world, while providing a delightful experience to employers and employees.

With Oyster, you can hire remote full-time employees anywhere in the world, provide fully-compliant payroll, and give your valued remote hires around the world the benefits and perks they deserve.

Our core values

Joy from work: The belief that work can and should be a source of joy shapes how we create our own work environment at Oyster. This belief also underpins our mission. We want everyone to have a chance to get joy from their work.
Social impact: We are motivated by the opportunity to make the world a better place and help other people realize their full potential. This greater purpose puts wind in our sails and energizes our company culture. We invite like-minded others to join us in building a future we can be proud of.
Trust from transparency: We over-communicate. We share information freely and frequently—and we see candor as a key ingredient to team success. This commitment to transparency is the foundation of the trust we place in each other.
Diversity and inclusion: We believe diverse teams perform better. Having a variety of perspectives, experiences, and beliefs increases our chances of seeing the full picture and creating something exceptional. We strive to be a company that attracts and celebrates diverse talent.
Customer-obsessive: Customers occupy a central position of focus and attention at Oyster. We believe the better we can understand and empathize with our customers the better we'll be able to solve their problems, and thus realize our ambitions as a company.
