WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT

We open the books

Two ways to hire, two fees, both fully disclosed. Pick a model — the numbers go in the contract, not behind the curtain.

STAFF AUGMENTATION

of bill rate, disclosed at signing

We pay your hire directly. Both rates in the contract, what they earn, what we make.

Disclosed at signing

20% to 30% is your margin. The number's in the contract. It won't change.

Same number, both sides

Your hire knows their wage. You know your cost. Nobody's getting three-carded.

Less than the big agencies

Benchmarked across staff aug, placement, and retained models. We're lower for equivalent talent.

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT

From intro call to first day in about a week.

Four steps. Founder-led from start to finish — no sales pod, no account hand-offs.

DAY 1

1

Tell us who you need

A 20-minute intake with both founders. We'll map the role, your team, and your culture — role, level, growth path.

DAYS 2-4

2

We source the shortlist

We surface top bilingual candidates from our network. English, tests, fit — all screened.

DAYS 4-7

3

You meet your top three

We send your top 2–4 candidates or skip back — your pace. We'll sit in on your first debrief and help you choose.

WEEK 2+

4

Hire, onboard, and stay close

Offer, paperwork, Day one. Then bi-weekly check-ins for three to six months. Then biannual.

Most hires close in 7–10 days. The fastest closed same day.
