Integrate seamlessly with Carta, the leading equity management platform
Say hello to our new Carta integration! Now you can automatically import equity grants made on Carta into the Oyster platform and ensure that your equity grants sync with local regulations. Eliminate redundant data entry, save time, and streamline your equity management process.
Unlock hiring efficiency with contract quality scores and advanced e-signatures
Get insights on how your employment terms stack up. Our new contract quality score will display a score and share if your contract is meeting statutory, customary, or best-in-class practices in the location you are hiring in. Oyster leverages deep country-level knowledge to share these insights so you can offer attractive time off, probation, and other terms.
Also, advanced e-signatures are now available if you’re hiring in France, Italy, Turkey, Romania, and Brazil. You can now verify employment and confidentiality agreements, and send out signature requests directly from your Oyster account to Team Members. This feature simplifies global hiring, especially in countries with stricter digital signature requirements.
