Where the fee goes

What the fee pays for

Free to joinTalent Partners

Talent never pays to join or apply — only a small service fee once work is underway, which funds verification, backup coverage, and dispute support.

Ongoing verification

Every hirer and every Talent Partner is verified through Stripe Identity before they can post a role or apply to one.

Backup coverage

For every placement, we keep a shortlisted backup candidate on file for the first 90 days.

Neutral dispute support

If a hirer and Talent Partner disagree on delivered work, our support team mediates fairly for both sides. It's a service everyone is covered by, not a deduction against either party.
