Vietnamese software exporters could employ engineers in Europe or the Americas without registering foreign entities. Vietnamese startups serving global clients could pay overseas contractors through a compliant platform.

Companies can hire in 180+ countries without setting up entities, with published per-unit pricing and no extra fees when someone leaves a team. Onboarding can be completed in as little as 48 hours. A dedicated People Partner and cost calculators help employers compare EOR with opening an entity.

Distributed hiring is pushing companies to use employer of record services rather than open entities in each country. Vendors publish per-seat pricing and embed EOR through APIs, and the Philippines is among the countries with a dedicated hiring page on Oyster's site.
