Case Study: Pacific Institute scales global hiring and converts contractors with Oyster

Pacific Institute - Customer Case Study

Pacific Institute, a U.S.-based nonprofit research think tank focused on global water challenges, needed a way to build out an international team without the infrastructure, HR capacity, or budget to hire overseas directly. They also wanted to convert long-term contractors into full-time employees so their global staff could receive local benefits, paid time off, and holidays.

With Oyster’s global employment platform, Pacific Institute was able to hire and employ staff across 4 countries, convert contractors to full-time roles, and streamline onboarding and compliance. Oyster handled the legal, payroll, benefits, and administrative work, helping the organization scale to 60 employees and complete 3 hires in 5 months while reducing risk and overhead.
