“We are honored be named #1 in the Global Employment Platform category for SMBs. Oyster strives to deliver a product and a customer experience that empowers businesses of any size to hire, pay, and care for global talent,” says Mark Frein, Chief Operating Officer at Oyster. “We see that small and mid-sized businesses are increasingly looking to grow their global talent footprint in order to stay competitive in a dynamic market. That’s why Oyster’s leadership in the GEP category is particularly meaningful. It is our intention to build on this recognition and continue to deliver an end-to-end employment solution that cuts through the complexities of international hiring.”

As Oyster continues to reimagine the future of work and make global employment practices possible, viable, human-centric, and attractive to workers, the company introduced Oyster Total Rewards, the first truly holistic approach to compensation and benefits for remote, hybrid, and distributed teams, and launched its Talent Network, a partner-powered talent acquisition and recruiting solution to source great remote candidates from around the world.
