TalentFuze vs white-label fulfillment
The tradeoff
Paying $450 to $500 to fulfill a $900 to $1,000 service cuts deeply into your margins and keeps you dependent on a provider you can't control.
With TalentFuze
We help you hire a team member who works inside your agency, and bring fulfillment in-house without breaking what's already working.
TalentFuze vs freelancer marketplaces
The tradeoff
You sort the profiles yourself, with no vetting, onboarding, or support once the work starts.
With TalentFuze
Vetting is handled for you. Every candidate is matched for skill, culture, and communication, and your hire gets a VA Mentor.
TalentFuze vs staffing agencies
The tradeoff
Many bill you an hourly rate and pay your hire a fraction of it, so a raise for your hire is a raise for the agency.
With TalentFuze
Your hire is paid at cost. You set what they get paid, we give you the benchmark, and our flat fee stays the same.
TalentFuze vs another U.S. hire
The tradeoff
Adding another U.S. salary at $80K+ a year gives you capacity at the expense of your margins.
With TalentFuze
Up to 70% savings in cost versus hiring the same role in the U.S., with onboarding and SOP support included.

Most firms take a cut of every hour your hire works. We don't.
You get one all-in price per hire: your hire's pay, at cost, plus one flat monthly fee from us. No percentage of wages and no hidden fees.
The markup model
- The firm bills you an hourly rate and pays your hire a fraction of it.
- You rarely see what your hire actually takes home.
- A raise for your hire means a bigger cut for the firm.
- The better your hire gets, the more the firm keeps.
The TalentFuze model
- Your hire is paid at cost. No markup on wages.
- You set what your hire gets paid. We give you the benchmark.
- Our fee is one flat monthly amount, separate from your hire's pay.
- Give your hire a raise and our fee stays exactly the same.
When you give a raise
Say your hire has a great first year and you give them a raise. With a markup model, the firm's cut grows with it. With us, every dollar of that raise goes to your hire and our flat fee doesn't move.
