At Oyster, we’re on a mission to make it easier for companies everywhere to hire people anywhere. We know that greater access to a global talent pool means businesses can unlock their potential and ensure fulfilling careers are available to all people—not just some.

For companies hiring global, distributed, and remote talent, compliance and global payments can be tricky to navigate. Oyster makes it easier to avoid these compliance roadblocks and bring on the best talent from anywhere in the world. 

To help us spread the word, we’re announcing the launch of our Oyster affiliate program. Tap into your network and earn revenue when your referrals hire talent on our platform. Receive additional bonuses and the resources you need to be successful as an Oyster Affiliate. 

How does the Oyster Affiliate program work? 

Know someone hiring? You can earn up to 20% in monthly recurring revenue by referring Oyster to a friend, colleague, or other member of your network. Sign up, get your referral link, and start earning as soon as your referral begins hiring. 

With your unique affiliate link, you can invite as many people as you like and earn additional performance bonuses of up to $10,000 as your referrals build out their global and remote teams. Need additional support? Your dedicated affiliate manager can offer you guidance and resources to help you get started.
