## About

Global employment platform for hiring, payroll, and benefits management across countries

## Activity summary

Blocked in Syria. A community report in February 2026 confirmed that Oyster's help center explicitly lists Syria among sanctioned countries where it cannot hire, so companies cannot employ contractors or staff based in Syria through the platform. The block has been verified, but no outreach to the company has been made yet.

## Community reports

- 2026-02-20 — Investigated. Community report confirms Oyster HR explicitly blocks Syria as a sanctioned country. The help center page states: "Please note that we are unable to hire in the following sanctioned countries" and lists "Syrian Arab Republic." Companies cannot hire contractors or employees in Syria through the platform. Tested via desktop Edge browser.

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025. See https://unblocksyria.com/llms.txt for the regulatory summary and https://unblocksyria.com/en/about for citations to the specific orders and regulations.
