How do you guys handle expenses as an intermediary? For instance, Upwork issues invoices from their corporate entity which represents a traditional B2B relationship in some countries. How do you account for payroll paperwork-wise?

I'm a customer -- it allowed me to bring someone on board in Germany (which was surprisingly hard without Oyster)

Hey PH! Oyster is on a mission to help with painless international hires. An impressive team is successfully tackling an ambitious goal. I'm impressed, check them out :)

We're so thrilled to bring this next version of Oyster® to you! Oyster 2.0 includes both new features and capabilities as well as new pricing options that make it easier than ever for your people team to make the globally-distributed dream a reality. See: https://www.oysterhr.com/how-it-... https://www.oysterhr.com/contractor https://www.oysterhr.com/hire https://www.oysterhr.com/pricing We created Oyster to make it easy for growing, people-centric companies to tap the global talent pool and to give each remote team member a fantastic employment experience, no matter where they live. If more companies can hire more people remotely in all the countries where talented people live, this will accelerate the rate at which great ideas get worked on, and therefore will accelerate the rate at which we can advance humanity. In addition, by greatly accelerating the adoption of remote working, the pandemic has opened the door to closing the multi-trillion dollar talent gap, reversing the trend on global economic inequality, and offers several ways to ease back on the out-of-control abuse of the environment. We MUST seize this opportunity for change with all our energy! See: https://www.oysterhr.com/impact-... 🙏 Jack Mardack

Amazing product from an Amazing team! All the best team Oyster!

Great product! Recommend it for remote teams with global employees (like AppFollow 😉).

Cool mission! What are some of the difference and enhancements in 2.00?

@heyoyster is defining the future of remote work!

I love what you guys are building. Great to see you on Product Hunt, Go Oyster! (Maria Scarzella Thorpe)

How does this compare to letsdeel.com or remote.com?

Very interesting product for enabling remote workers.

I am so proud of this team, this product and the mission we are on to connect the best talent in the world with best-in-class teams. 🙌💪

Excited to see you guys on product hunt! Onwards and upwards!

This product looks well thought, and it's definitely needed right now. I'm just curious to know if the fees wouldn't dissuade an employer from hiring internationally for instance. Unless the company has high revenues, I don't know if small and medium-sized ones could afford or be willing to spend $700 monthly, as we can see on picture 3. Am I wrong? So who is this product for?

Loved it, now I can enjoy tax benefits and I'm not a contract employee any more thanks to oyster for making it easier @soorajchandran_

I graduated from Remote Ready course. Content was great. I can easily recommend to anyone. I'm sure Oyster will be very successful company in the distributed talent management.

Sounds like a great idea, I'll look into it! Is there a feature to manage compliance and specific employment law of the employee's country?

Such perfect timing as we look to hire remote now. I'm going to have a look at this!!

Hi folks, we at Oyster are excited to share with you all Oyster 2.0 and would really appreciate your feedback! Back Story 📖 Since the pandemic, the world witnessed a historic shift in how we work. In reality however, this shift has been happening long before Covid-19. Thanks to the significant leaps made in the digitisation of the workspace in recent years, working from anywhere quickly became a reality for many people. In anticipation of this inevitable shift, I sought to provide, together with my business partner Jack Mardack, an opportunity for companies to hire otherwise untapped talent from around the globe in a seamless manner. What we did not predict, however, was how rapid this shift would come along as a result of the pandemic. Since then, we realised just how important our mission was, and how much there is to do! Consider this: an estimated 1.5 billion knowledge workers are coming into the workforce in the next 10 years, mostly from emerging economies, while in developed economies there are some 90 million jobs unfilled. This is where Oyster comes into play. About the product 🔍 Oyster is a distributed talent management platform that is rapidly revolutionising the way companies access the global talent market. Our platform makes it incredibly easy to be organised. It’s the one place for all: ✅Documents ✅Onboarding info ✅Benefits ✅Payroll ✅Compliance And much (much) more🤯 How it helps you 👍 Oyster enables companies to hire employees compliantly around the world both as full time employees and as contractors. This allows you to grow your organisation using the Oyster Infrastructure, look after your remote employees leveraging the platform's benefits offering, and make your remote workforce your most productive asset. About our Mission🚀 The mission is simple: Close the geographic gap between great job  opportunities and talented individuals. We as a society simply cannot afford to return to old employment dynamics, where businesses must either source talent from a local and more expensive talent pool or pay high costs to hire internationally. With Oyster, jobs can continue to be evenly distributed across the globe resulting in reduced burden on over-crowded cities, increase in sustainability and quality of life and a positive environmental impact. Get hiring today! 🤝 Get started(https://app.oysterhr.com/) to see how Oyster unlocks a whole new world of talent for your business Thank you 🙏 Please share your comments and feedback below, we look forward to reading them!

This is amazing! I used to work for a US company but I was being "hired" and paid by an intermediate who would take 30/40% of my hourly rate just because cross border hiring is considered to be something "hard" to do.
