Case Study: Standing on Giants scales global hiring and expands services with Oyster

Standing on Giants transformed their service offerings by hiring in 10 countries with Oyster

Standing on Giants is a London-based full-service community agency that helps brands build and manage global online communities. As the company grew, it struggled to hire people with the right language and community management skills from a limited local talent pool, and post-Brexit hiring added complexity and expense. To support remote work and international expansion, Standing on Giants turned to Oyster, a global employment platform, for help hiring talent worldwide.

With Oyster, Standing on Giants was able to hire compliantly in multiple countries without setting up local entities, while also getting support with contracts, payroll, taxes, benefits, and local employment laws. The result was a globally distributed team of 14 employees across 10 countries, faster recruiting, easier scaling, and the ability to expand services like local events and meetups for clients around the world.
