How does this compare with hiring locally?
Our cost calculator compares the true cost of a local hire in Australia, New Zealand or Singapore, including superannuation, KiwiSaver or CPF and other employer on-costs, with the typical Sprint Labs rate for the same role and seniority. Every local figure is sourced and the source is shown.
Open the calculator →Is there a recruitment or placement fee?
No. There is no upfront recruitment fee and no percentage-of-salary placement fee. You pay a monthly rate per seat that covers the contractor's fee, recruitment, vetting, contracts, payments, management support and replacement.
What does the monthly rate actually include?
Everything it takes to manage the contractor engagement: contractor fee, recruitment and vetting, contracts, payments and FX, time off, management support, performance concerns, replacement and account management. These are built into your monthly invoice.
Why are the rates shown as a range?
Real cost depends on discipline, seniority, tech stack, language requirements, location and how much time-zone overlap you need. Post a request and you get a firm quote with named candidates attached, usually within a week.
How long am I locked in?
Engagements run month to month after the initial term, with a 60-day notice period to release a seat. There is no multi-year contract and no exit fee.
What happens if the person isn't working out?
Tell us in the first 30 days and we replace them at no additional cost. After that we work through the performance concern with the contractor, and you can still release the seat on notice.
How do I get an exact price?
Create a request in the portal with the role, seniority and overlap hours you need. You get a firm monthly quote with shortlisted, vetted candidates attached, typically inside a week.
