Roles we staff across industries
A hiring process built for speed
From first brief to signed engagement, our team runs the whole process - you focus on the interview and the hire.
How we vet talent
Every accepted contractor clears a 6-stage pipeline with four scored gates that together reject 97% of applicants. The score you see is earned, not guessed.
Percentages show how many applicants clear each round.
Anonymized sample - see the full 6-stage pipeline, the scoring rubric, and how the 97% figure is calculated.

What we stand behind
Simple, flexible pricing
No hidden recruiting fees. Every engagement is backed by our 30-day replacement guarantee.
There is no subscription at signup - you choose the engagement model per placement with our team when we confirm the terms, so one client can mix models freely (augmentation for one contractor, retainer alongside).
The 30-day replacement guarantee covers every full-time hire we place directly, on any plan. Staff augmentation roles are billed weekly and can be paused with 30 days' notice.
AutoStaff is a recruiting and vetting partner, not an Employer of Record - we do not run localized or global payroll. On a direct placement the contractor joins your own payroll and you pay their salary directly; on staff augmentation AutoStaff invoices weekly and pays the contractor as an independent contractor, with the right tax form (W-9 or W-8BEN) collected during vetting. Need a full EOR? Ask us for a partner referral.
Both sides win - that's the business model
We are not cheaper because we do less. We are cheaper because automation does the recruiter hours, and the savings go to both sides.
The guarantee is not the thing we compromised to get the price down. Every direct placement carries a 30-day replacement guarantee with prorated refunds, in the terms, not just the marketing. Founding clients lock these rates in for 12 months - see the founding cohort.
Frequently asked questions
Everything hiring managers ask before posting their first role.
What makes AutoStaff different from other hiring platforms?
Every contractor in our directory is pre-vetted through a 6-stage pipeline with four scored gates - English assessment (64% pass), skills assessment (31%), live technical interview (12%), and a work sample (3%). A sanctions safety screen runs silently at the door, and an identity, contract and tax-form check is the final gate before any profile goes live. We publish the scores, so you can compare candidates before the first interview instead of after.
How much does hiring through AutoStaff cost?
Pay per hire is 15% of first-year salary - no upfront cost, billed when both sides sign. Staff augmentation is a 50% markup with weekly billing and pausing with 30 days' notice. A $500/month retainer gets you a dedicated recruiter plus 10% of billings. You choose the model per placement with our team when we confirm the terms - there is no subscription at signup. See the pricing section for the full breakdown.
How fast is the average hire?
Because candidates arrive pre-scored, you skip the screening rounds that usually eat the first two weeks. We target a signed offer within 14 days of the first interview.
What if a hire doesn't work out?
Every directly placed full-time hire is covered by a 30-day replacement guarantee. If the person leaves or doesn't perform within the first 30 days, we find and vet a replacement at no additional fee.
How do payments and contracts work?
AutoStaff drafts one engagement agreement that you and the contractor both sign - it sets the role, fee, start date, payment flow, and the 30-day guarantee, so there is nothing separate to negotiate. On a direct placement you pay the contractor's salary on your own payroll and AutoStaff invoices only the placement fee. On staff augmentation AutoStaff invoices you weekly and pays the contractor for you.
Do you act as an Employer of Record (EOR) or handle global payroll?
No - AutoStaff is your recruiting and vetting partner, not an EOR, and we do not run localized or global payroll. On a direct placement the contractor joins your company's own payroll as your employee and you pay their salary directly; AutoStaff invoices only the placement fee. On staff augmentation AutoStaff invoices you weekly and pays the contractor as an independent contractor via Wise, with the right US tax form (W-9 or W-8BEN) collected as part of vetting. If your team needs full EOR services - a local entity, statutory benefits, in-country payroll - tell us and we can refer you to a partner who specializes in it.
Can I contact a contractor directly to skip AutoStaff?
No. All contact is brokered through AutoStaff and our engagement terms apply - that is what keeps pricing low and the 30-day guarantee enforceable. Use Request to hire on any talent profile and our team connects you within one business day.
