One rate. No agency fee bolted onto it.
You are quoted a single hourly rate per role and commitment level, and that is the whole price. We do not itemise a base rate plus our margin, because you are buying a staffed, employed, compliant seat rather than renting a person by the hour.
The terms, in plain words
| Term | What it is | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum engagement | Six months | Below that, the cost of recruiting and onboarding never clears. |
| Notice to end | Thirty days, in writing | It funds the month we keep paying your placement while we find them somewhere else. |
| Deposit | One month, at signing | Applied to your final invoice. It is not an extra cost. |
| Ending early | Half the remaining months | Standard staffing language, and the reason the six-month minimum is worth reading. |
| Hiring them directly | Twelve times the monthly rate | With a $10,000 floor. Priced, not forbidden. See below. |
| Non-solicitation | Twelve months | From the end of the placement. |
If you want to hire them outright
People sometimes want to bring a placement onto their own payroll. We do not pretend to forbid that. We price it, and the price is twelve times whatever we were billing you monthly for that person, with a floor of ten thousand dollars.
You can work it out from any invoice, and it applies to everyone identically. We have never made an exception and we are not going to start with whoever asks most persuasively.

What we will not do
Discount the monthly rate
It is what pays the person doing your work. If we need to move on price we will look at setup or bundle a phone system instead.
Charge the candidate
Nobody pays us to be placed. Ever. Any agency that does this is not one you want touching your data.
Quietly vary the terms
Same conversion fee, same notice period, same minimum, for everyone. People talk, and a quiet discount becomes the public price.
