Oyster HR is a global employer of record. It lets companies hire, pay and support staff in more than 180 countries without setting up local offices.

Oyster acts as the legal employer in countries where you do not have an entity. It handles contracts, payroll, benefits and compliance, and it gives each employee an app and HR support. Its team acts as a point of contact for people issues, from onboarding to more sensitive HR matters.

• Hire in 180+ countries, in as little as 48 hours
• Contracts, payroll and benefits handled for you
• Easy-to-use employee app
• One point of contact for HR questions
• Connections to HRIS, ATS and accounting systems

Startups and growing companies that want to build a team abroad without local legal setup. HR teams that want a provider with hands-on support will find the service useful. Companies that already run their own local entities may need only part of the service.

Pricing is shown on the site's pricing page. Oyster is a managed service, so the provider handles much of the compliance work for each country. Check coverage for each country you plan to hire in before you commit.
