Two ways to hire. Transparent pricing.
Every purchasing role prices the same way. Both models carry the same bar: vetted candidates in 10 calendar days and 5-Stage Vetting. The guarantee differs by model: 60-day replacement on US Direct Hire, 100% performance replacement on Global Fully Managed.
Exceptional talent from Latin America, the Philippines, South Africa, Eastern Europe, and Canada, from $12/hr. One monthly fee, all-inclusive: sourcing, vetting, payroll, compliance, and ongoing support.
Explore global staffing →Full-time professionals across the United States, employed directly by you. One placement fee: from 12.5% of first-year salary, with the $995 retainer credited against it. Prefer nothing upfront? From 15%, paid only when you hire. Traditional agencies charge 20-30% of salary for the same search.

When jobs get canceled for parts
Most teams wait too long. These are the points where the seat pays for itself immediately.
- A truck arrives without the right part.
- Vans are loaded on habit.
- Purchase orders go unchased until site.
- Backorders are discovered on the morning.
- Rescheduling costs more than the part.
- Your dispatcher does purchasing between calls.

Administrative Support staffing, answered
Which purchasing seat should we hire first?
Usually the Purchasing Specialist, because supplier follow up is structured work that a dispatcher cannot do properly between calls. Contractors whose problem is materials reaching the wrong site should start with the Logistics Coordinator. We will ask how many visits a missing part cost you last month.
Can purchasing support be staffed globally?
Yes, nearly all of it. Raising purchase orders, chasing suppliers, tracking lead times and confirming deliveries are phone and system work that staffs globally. Anything involving physically checking a truck or a yard stays with someone local on your payroll.
How quickly can we get purchasing covered?
Shortlist in 10 calendar days from the discovery call, onboarding in 21 days. Both sourcing and 5-Stage Vetting run inside that window. Because a cancelled visit costs the whole revenue of the job plus the reschedule, this is one of the faster seats to justify.
Will these hires work in our field service system?
Yes. Purchasing staff work in the field service and purchasing systems you already run, against your supplier list and your approval limits. Fluency is tested during vetting, so someone presented as a Purchasing Specialist has chased a real backorder scenario and proposed a substitute in an exercise.
Can we scale purchasing with job volume?
Yes. Fully managed global seats run month to month, so purchasing capacity can follow your booked job volume through a busy season without severance exposure. US direct hires stay permanent employees on your payroll. Most contractors keep one seat year round and add through peak.
What does a purchasing seat cost?
Global Fully Managed from $12/hr all-inclusive, month to month, which for most contractors is recovered by preventing a handful of cancelled visits. US Direct Hire is $995 plus 12.5% of first-year salary, or 15% with nothing upfront. Count the cancelled visits from last month and the arithmetic makes itself.
Can they order from our local suppliers?
Yes, on your accounts and your terms, by phone and through supplier portals. Trade counter collection and yard checks stay with someone local. In practice the seat raises and chases the order and your crew or a local runner does the physical collection.
Is this not just a job for the dispatcher?
It is the job a dispatcher never quite gets to. Supplier follow up is structured, repetitive work that loses every time to a live call about a job today. That is precisely why a missing part still cancels visits at firms that already have a dispatcher.
