#62 Oyster HR and the meteoric rise of global remote hiring
Traditionally, the best jobs are limited to people in a handful of the world's wealthiest cities. Yet brilliant people are everywhere. Closing this gap and making the best jobs available to anyone, anywhere, was the motivation behind launching the global employment platform Oyster HR.
Recently B Corp certified, Oyster HR uses software to make global hiring as easy as local hiring. Employers can hire compliantly without setting up a business entity and handle all employment functions from a single automated platform.
In this episode of the B Better podcast, B Better host Tim Jones talks to Oyster HR co-founders Tony Jamous and Jack Mardack about their mission to make the world more equal and freer by democratising access to job opportunities around the world.
"Today more than ever, with remote work, companies in the West can hire anyone anywhere and extend amazing job opportunities to people in emerging economies. And that's why we exist," says Tony.
"Our business model is totally aligned with our impact. The more we employ people around the world, the more we drag the world into more equality and freedom."
Discussion points in this podcast include:
Why Oyster was a meteoric success from day one: "What we thought would take 10 years took 10 weeks," says Tony. "Revenue went from zero to double digits in 12 months."
How the B Corp Impact Assessment helped them double down on their commitment to positive impact.
The Oyster for Impact programme that offers discounts and more to other B Corp and purpose-driven businesses.
What happens with countries that don't have a benchmarked living wage.
How enabling remote working can reduce 'brain drain' for countries where talented nationals traditionally move to developed markets for better opportunities.
How Oyster HR data shows that breaking down barriers to remote working is proving most beneficial to women.
The Oyster for Refugees initiative that helps employers find refugee talent and hire them compliantly—at no or discounted costs—to build a brilliant, diverse team.
How the free Oyster Academy provides courses to upskill remote workers and job seekers.
