How It Works
The boring stuff, handled.
Four pillars. No buzzwords. This is what's actually under the hood when you book through us.
Vetted Partners
200+ pre-screened agencies. Background checks, certifications, insurance docs. Already done before you call.
Real Lead Times
Two to four weeks standard. Forty-eight hours when something shifts. We'll tell you which one you're getting.
W-2 Compliance
Payroll tax, workers' comp, multi-state. Boring. So is a lawsuit.
Flat Invoicing
One PO covers the whole event. The rate is the rate. No mystery line items.
From Order to Load-Out
What actually happens.
You tell us what you need.
Venue, date, headcount, role mix. Sometimes we'll talk you out of what you asked for. That's what partners do.
We staff it through the right local agency.
Pre-vetted, insured, W-2. You get one point of contact. They handle the rest.
Show day runs.
Check-ins, backfills, on-site escalation. You don't get the 6am no-show call. That's the whole point.
