About Oyster

Oyster was initiated by Jack Mardack and Tony Jamous in 2020, having its headquarters in Charlotte, North Carolina, United States. The startup is on a mission to make it possible for the company’s from every sector to hire wherever they want without going in any hard work by themselves.

Words from the co-founders – 

“What’s happening in the world is that there’s a talent shortage, and also there’s no need to be in the office anymore. When it comes to tapping into the global talent pool, if you think about it, if you’re a London-based company, then the chances that your best talent is in London is less than 1%. So by tapping into the global talent pool, suddenly you’re dramatically increasing your chances, especially if you depend on talent as a key source of your success.” – Tony Jamous, co-founder, Oyster.

“We’re thrilled to partner with Stripes for the next chapter of growth and positive impact for Oyster,” said Jack Mardack, co-founder of Oyster, in a statement. “Investors like Stripes, Emergence, Slack Fund, Avid, and PeopleTech Partners among others, who share in our passion for the Oyster mission and vision for the future of work, give us the rocket fuel we need to change the world by unblocking access to job opportunities for everyone,” he added.
