Does anyone know for sure (not guessing) how much Creatice Circle pays talent vs the rate the client pays? For instance, if the client pays Creative Circle $100 per hour, how much does the creative person get?

$40. Maybe $50 if you’re lucky.

Recruites at one of these shops for a year. The goal is to pay around 40-50%. If they have to theyll do 60-70%

like

Yes I’ve seen 70% take for the staffing agency. 30% left for the talent.

Not enough…

like

Yeah..was going to guess $35-$40. They take ALOT!

The talent actually gets $25-50/hr based off of $100/hr. All staffing agencies do this. It’s predatory. And on top of that freelance talent have it extremely hard. They get cancelled on last minute, they have no insurance, people don’t pay them..

like

My CC reps have told me very candidly that talent priced at $65+ don't get placements.
The rationale was that it would require them to charge $120/jr, and/or reduce margins to fit talent into the window

like

Correct. Because CC is billing the client at $120/hr for them and keeping 50, 60, even 70%

Never use CC. Ever.

If the client pays $100/hr.. the talent maybe seen $30-50/hr. AVOID all staffing agencies..

Currently freelancing full time via CC for a client and getting almost $70. Was told it was freelance to hire. 🙏

If the brand wants to hire you.. the brand needs to pay the staffing agency a “finder’s fee”. There’s a time limit on this.. can be 6months, 1 year, 2 years.

So on top of taking half your paycheck, they represent you exclusively on the backend and then you wonder why nobody wants to hire you after you’re done working with them. 🤫


ALL STAFFING AGENCIES DO THIS.

I also want to add, a paying job is a paying job. Not everyone has inside connections that lead to something and many brands will only work through agencies like CC.

No and yes.

CC scares brands/agencies to work with them if they want to hire anyone. They do this with “iffy / confusing” state/federal laws that are passed/lobbied/written by unions. Nobody needs to work with staffing agencies… they leverage uneducated hiring managers.. and now staffing agencies leverage their power over uneducated/desperate freelancers for LESS than half their rate.

Feeling like consulting is not for me anymore. I am a Senior Associate, I’m getting burnt out and I am not sure I am even sure I’m good enough to make it to manager.
