WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT
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.
EXAMPLE · SENIOR DEVELOPER
$6,000/mo
$3,900 talent
$2,100 us
$3,900 talent
$4,800 hidden
You save $2,700/mo.~31% less.
DIRECT HIRE
of estimated first-year salary
You hire and pay them directly. One fee at signing — no retainers, no replacement back-in.
EXAMPLE · SENIOR DEVELOPER
$6,000/mo
$12,000 placement fee
$18,000 + monthly retainers
You save$6,000+ -33% less.
20% to 30% is your margin. The number's in the contract. It won't change.
Your hire knows their wage. You know your cost. Nobody's getting three-carded.
Benchmarked across staff aug, placement, and retained models. We're lower for equivalent talent.
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT
