Skip the high costs. Bring transparency in pricing with our platform.
What makes our platform a better choice over staffing agencies like Manpower Group?
Manpower Group’s pricing is not publicly available, and recruitment companies alike typically operate on the traditional staffing model, which charges a high markup on every contractor hired. The markup can range anywhere from 30 to 50% of the contractor’s pay, significantly reducing the recruitment budget and increasing the chances of higher turnover in the company. Companies and their hired staff also face another concern: a lack of transparency in billing and pay. The company often remains unaware of its contractor’s compensation, and similarly, the contractor never gets to know how much their services are paid for. Staffing agencies thus restrict access to such crucial information. This is a major reason why many companies look for Manpower Group’s alternatives.
Global Squirrels offers a SaaS staffing platform that differs from Manpower Group in terms of the pricing model. To hire local/global talent, it charges only a flat fee and the payroll cost. This way, it eliminates high markup and hidden fees associated with staffing companies like Manpower Group. And since markup is eliminated, hiring overseas through our platform becomes more cost-effective, allowing companies to save up to 80%. To get started, you can sign up for free and post your job requirement. In two to five business days, our platform will share curated profiles of top talent for interviewing and hiring, notified via email. The best part about transparency is that you can view the pay expectations of the contractor and the monthly hiring cost, including our flat fee, along with resume, cover letter, etc.
