How does hiring with Oyster work?
Oyster offers Direct+ infrastructure. This means we hire through our own legal entities in countries where we hire most and use local partners in the rest. This model allows us to offer our customers extensive country coverage without compromising compliance and local expertise.
Should my new hire be a contractor or a full-time employee?
Misclassification fines are not something to take lightly, even though some providers make it seem that way. Oyster has the expertise to help you figure out if your new hire should be a contractor or a full-time employee. We can also help you assess your existing contractors for misclassification risks, and work together to convert them into full-time employees. Check out our free contractor vs. full-time employee analyzer.
