When hiring contractors, companies are often under pressure to either put up with lengthy onboarding processes or hire quickly at the risk of compliance and payment accuracy. Contractors also face unnecessary stress, wondering when and how they’ll be paid for their work. In the world of distributed work, companies increasingly need the ability to hire quickly, compliantly, and safely pay their contractors anywhere in the world, using any currency and with a transparent currency exchange rate. Likewise, contractors need to be able to focus on the job they were hired to do, instead of worrying about being paid on time.

Oyster for Contractors provides a speedy, streamlined experience for companies and contractors. Instead of days, onboarding new contractors only takes a few minutes. The new product facilitates a smooth experience across hiring, payroll, and tax compliance, the latter of which is made easy by the inclusion of relevant forms such as the U.S. IRS’ Form 1099. Companies can engage contractors who live in countries outside of where those companies maintain their own entities — for example, a U.S.-based company engaging with contractors in Spain. Similarly, Oyster for Contractors can also support companies that wish to engage in-country contractors, such as a U.S.-based company engaging a U.S.-based contractor.
