New integrations with industry-leading HR services including Firstbase, Teamtailor, and WeWork, further empower Oyster customers to build and manage globally distributed workforces from a single easy-to-use system.
“At Oyster, we are integrating our platform with the world’s leading global HR technology and services providers, furthering our mission to remove the barriers to global employment,” said Tony Jamous, CEO and co-Founder of Oyster. “Combined with Oyster’s innovative Distributed HR platform, these partnerships empower our customers with a comprehensive, single-source platform for managing local legal compliance, payroll, benefits, as well as multiple other critical HR needs across the more than 90 countries we serve.”

According to a recently published study by the Korn Ferry Institute entitled The Global Talent Crunch, the United Statescan expect to lose out on $162 billion by 2030 due to sector skills shortages. The same study estimates that 1.5 billion knowledge workers are set to enter the workforce over the next 10 years, mostly from emerging economies. The study estimates that the global talent shortage is forecasted to reach above 85 million people by 2030.
“The Future of Work is here. We’re partnering with Oyster to catapult this movement and make it easier for everyone to work from anywhere,” said Adam Long, Vice President of Sales, Firstbase.
“Both Jobbatical and Oyster are thinking beyond borders to help the world work together — it’s not every day that we can partner with a company that is so much aligned with our mission,” Yannick Kwik, Head of Growth, Jobbatical.
“6nomads got started because we believe the future of work is distributed,” said Denis Shershnev, CEO, 6nomads. “Alongside Oyster, we’re making this a reality for everyone in the world.”
“SafetyWing and Oyster are built and designed by distributed teams who want to make it easier for everyone in the world to work from where they want to be — it’s the perfect match,” Lona Alia, VP of Revenue at Safetywing.
