Your Talent, Your Rules

We find them. You decide how to keep them.

Here's something most staffing companies won't tell you: they need you to stay dependent on them. Their whole model relies on billing you month after month, whether you need them or not.

We think that's a terrible deal. So we built a different one.

Want us to manage the talent end-to-end? Great—we'll handle payroll, compliance, and everything in between. But if you find someone you love and want to bring them in-house? Go for it. No penalties. No guilt trips. No breakup fees.

We'd rather earn your business every single day than lock you into a contract you resent. Radical? Maybe. But we think the best relationships are the ones you choose to stay in.

Staffing

We manage everything: payroll, benefits, compliance, performance. You just get great work done.

🎯

Permanent Placement

We find the perfect match using our AI. You hire them directly. They're yours, no strings attached.

Most agencies sell you a subscription. We sell you freedom. If our talent is so good you want to hire them yourself—that's not a problem. That's the whole point.
