Tony Jamous is the CEO & Founder of Oyster, the remote work employment platform. Before that, he was president of Nexmo, a Vonage Company. He joined Vonage as part of Vonage's acquisition of Nexmo, Inc. in June 2016.
The company is on a mission to remove the barriers between talented people and great full-time jobs globally. They believe it should be easy for any company to hire any person, no matter where either is located in the world.
Now more than ever, smart companies can't allow their HQ location to dictate the size of their talent pool. Your next transformative hire could be anywhere. They also believe the most in-demand knowledge workers today want to leverage a global career perspective, the freedom to live where they want, and the security of full-fledged employment with benefits.
However, the flow between talent and opportunity worldwide is still blocked by the costs and legal complexity companies face before they can fully employ in another country. Cross-border hiring is still arcane, remarkably un-transformed by software, and ripe for disruption.
I learn more about the story behind the software platform created to solve the complexities of giving full-time, full-fledged employment to anyone in the world while providing a delightful experience to employers and employees.
