Get dedicated HR experts, predictable (and transparent) pricing, and support for complex employee situations—without juggling multiple vendors. Oyster is an Employer of Record that helps you employ and care for talent in 180+ countries—without opening legal entities or stitching together local vendors. From one intuitive platform, you can generate compliant contracts, run payroll, and offer competitive, country-specific benefits to employees and contractors around the world. But software is only half the story. When you are navigating a termination in France, figuring out benefits benchmarks in Singapore, or supporting someone who wants to move from Germany to Portugal, a help article isn’t enough. With Oyster, you get in-house HR and legal experts who know local laws and cultural nuances and can respond in minutes, not days. They’re not an add-on or an outsourced call center. They’re part of what you’re paying for. For your US workforce, Oyster PEO lets you outsource payroll, benefits, and HR administration through a co-employment model. We act as the administrative employer, managing payroll, benefits, retirement, and compliance, while you stay focused on directing work, performance, compensation, and career growth. It’s a simple way to stay compliant and competitive in the US without building a large HR function in-house. We also believe how you build your team matters as much as who you hire. Oyster is the only B Corp-certified global employment provider in the market, which means we’re independently vetted for how we treat people and run our business. Our pricing is transparent and predictable—no surprise fees for offboarding, benefits administration, or “gotchas” buried in the invoice. For HR, Legal, Finance, and C-suite leaders, that adds up to less risk, fewer distractions, and more room to focus on growth. You move into new markets faster, give every team member a fair and consistent experience, and know you have a partner who’ll tell you the right thing to do, not just the easy thing. If you’re planning to expand globally—or want more confidence in how you run your US and international teams—Oyster is here to help you do it right. * * * Product Website Oyster Seller [Oyster](https://www.g2.com/sellers/oyster-0b7bddd7-f6e0-4a4b-a2d4-c5adc112dd9b) Discussions [Oyster Community](https://www.g2.com/products/oyster-oyster/discuss) Languages Supported English Solution Type All-in-One Overview by Mathilde Dechansiaud (Demand Gen at Oyster | Work from Anywhere Advocate ✨) Show More ## Pricing Pricing provided by Oyster. ### EOR Employee of Record Starting at $699.00 Per Month [ View More Pricing Information ](https://www.g2.com/products/oyster-oyster/pricing) ## Oyster Integrations (13) What do users say about integrations?

I like the fact that I am able to input multiple account payment details. I have several different accounts and then I am able to share all those different account details in different currencies to the people that are paying me. Oyster streamlines my finances by allowing me to manage payments through multiple accounts, which helps with my financial audit practices. Being able to have a log of all the money that has come in and see the different vendors and the different companies paying me helps me keep neat financial books, records, and accounts. This makes it easier to streamline either my tax payments or my budgeting month to month. The setup and onboarding was fairly easy and took me less than five minutes to input everything.

I also value the communication and professionalism of the team. The initial setup was very easy, and I appreciate how everything has a specific place, with all the material needed for my employment in France already there and converted to the local process. The platform is very clear and concise, and I really enjoy it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Oyster? The only slight piece of feedback I would give is about the portage model that was used, which ultimately was not a fit for me. It took some time to resolve that and get a solution in place.

People Data and Analytics Manager Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 4/6/2024 "Oyster helps us get talent from anywhere." 4/5 What do you like best about Oyster? Oyster is very easy to use and is very clear in allowing us to set up employees that live elsewhere. I also enjoy the cost calculator feature which is very useful when deciding whether to hire employees or not. It is easy to bring this data quickly to a discussion with Leadership which before required me to spend a long time working out the cost of bringing people through an EOR. And the hiring process and onboarding flows through Oyster are very simple to use and easy to complete make it less cumbersome for us as admin and for employees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Oyster? It seems like Oyster is built on the basis that you only hire employees through oyster and that most customers would use it this way. Specifically for us, and I am sure more businesses are the same, it would be better if the integration with HRIS was more complete, understanding that businesses will generally use a separate HRIS to manage all their employees and it would be ideal to Oyster would auto sync with our HRIS. This would be everything from documents to details. This is the bit I dislike most about Oyster because it creates additional admin work to have to keep both systems up to date. As an additional, it would be good if it could integrate with out ATS system Workable too or any ATS so when we hire someone it moves straight to Oyster if applicable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Oyster solving and how is that benefiting you? Hiring people in countries that our entity doesn't cover. Especially when hiring in Gibraltar as the talent pool is small there and most of our employees will not live in Gibraltar or within an hour of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
