Expert consultancy and advice. Flexible problem solving in speedy time frames. > > **Cons**: Lack of direct contact outside of email with in country experts > > Great partnership with a constant lens of improvement for the business and the employees ----- ### "Enabling Global Hires" — 4.0/5 > **Samantha** | *19 December 2024* | Computer Games | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I have been in post as CPO for 11 months now, and I have been pleased with the service provided by Oyster, especially our Customer Success and Account Managers. Oyster are always on hand to provide advice, guidance and support, and this often extends to matters that might impact our own employees; they are a true partner. The platform is easy to navigate and integrates with our HR systems seamlessly. > > **Cons**: Whilst the country spread is good, there are some relationships that are tripartite i.e. Oyster use another provider in that country to hire the individual, which can delay comms. From a commerciality perspective, there are some circumstances whereby termination is justified, however, we have to factor in that the business case isn't justifiable as the individual is employed by Oyster, as opposed to ourselves. This means that mutual terminations are generally the only option to proceed with ending a relationship and there is additional cost. ----- ### "Highly recommend Oyster for all remote hiring" — 5.0/5 > **Stephanie** | *9 January 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The support, flexibility and communication we receive from the team at Oyster whenever we have any queries or employee changes is exceptional. Their system is easy to use and provides great visibility. > > **Cons**: There is actually very little I can complain about with Oyster. I've used other EORs in the past that I've had issues is, but Oyster is fantastic. > > We used to hire some remote employees in other countries through our own direct entities, however our experience with Oyster has been so positive that we now only hire remotely through them. ----- ### "A service orientated platform" — 5.0/5 > **Ketna** | *12 December 2024* | Utilities | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The level of service really stands out compared to other players in the market. > > **Cons**: I'd love it to integrate with our current HRIS to enable one platform for all people managers. > > The Oyster team have really stepped up in terms of what I expect out of a partnership and service levels. The platform is easy to use from a UX lens and the UI is clear. Our employees and people leaders have positive feedback overall. ----- ### "Payment issues" — 1.0/5 > **Terry** | *2 May 2024* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: It services my need to pay my US employees > > **Cons**: For some reason you cant match my payments to the invoices, the billing is very confusing and you always think I havent paid when I have ----- Page: 1 / 5\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/1012388/oyster?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/1012388/oyster) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | ----- ## Structured Data
