Our Rent-a Researcher program has been expanded to include retainer pricing. This means you can plan ahead for your workloads and budgets. Crunch time? No worries. Unexpected skill gaps? Easy.
Rent-a-Researcher Retainers = Safe Staffing
You tell us what skills you need, and we will assemble a team for you. This virtual team will be on call for you, and generally able to start new tasks within 4 business days (if not sooner). This way, your “favorites” learn how to best meet your needs – you won’t have to train new researchers each month.
Your retainer fee will be calculated based on:
- The level or levels of skill you require.
- The number of hours you will buy per month.
- The number of months to which you are committing.
For Example: Client Sam estimated he would need 10 hours a month of Level 1 plus 30 hours a month of Level 3 work. He committed to a one-year retainer, with unused hours rolling over. His fee is $5,400 per month.
Staffing Retainer Agreement Terms:
- Retainer agreements require a minimum of 40 hours per month per consultant engaged and a 6-month minimum duration.
- Client pays retainer each month (no uncertainty).
- At year-end, unused hours roll over (no waste).
- Client receives monthly updates on hours used/dollars spent (know what you have).
- Client receives and approves weekly timesheets (no surprises).
Let us put together a staffing retainer option for you. No strings attached.
