🧭 Our Mission

<aside> 📣 Oyster is a mission-driven organization. This means that we look to our mission to guide everything we do, from the decisions we make, to the people we partner with, and the work that we undertake. Our mission is core to the future that we’re building.

Our mission is…

To create a more equal world by making it possible for companies everywhere to hire people anywhere.

Why this matters

🌎 The world needs skilled employees, and demand for knowledge workers continues to increase. Our research indicates that 500 million-1 billion new knowledge worker jobs will surface by 2032.
⚖️ There isn’t an equal playing field for knowledge workers right now. Talented workers in emerging economies have been historically overlooked — but we want to change that. By the end of 2022, our target is to enable employment for 90% of emerging markets.
👨‍💻 Despite an explosion in demand, remote working opportunities aren’t available for everyone. By 2027, our target is to place 1 million job seekers around the world in remote work roles.
