What should a busy buyer read first?

Choose a website based on the decision you need to make. A pay benchmark helps frame a budget. A recruiting benchmark helps you question a proposed timeline. Use both before requesting a role-specific quote.

Start with the resources below, then send prospective IT staffing companies the same job description. Include the work the hire will own, the required skills and your target start date.

Keep a short comparison sheet as you read. Record what each quote covers, who employs the hire and who handles problems after placement. Save the terms you plan to discuss with your finance or legal team.

What do the pay and hiring data say?

The BLS software developer pay page reports median annual US software developer pay of $135,980 in May 2025. Use that figure as US salary context when reviewing a budget.

Keep the occupation in view. A software developer benchmark may be a poor match for an IT support role. Match the work you need done before using a salary figure to judge a quote.

For Latin American hiring, request a budget tied to the candidate's country and seniority. Ask for the full monthly cost, including the items covered by the provider's fee. Keep that total separate from the person's pay.

SHRM's recruiting benchmarks put median time to fill in 2025 at roughly a month and a half for executive and nonexecutive roles. SHRM measures the period from job requisition to offer acceptance.

Use that definition when checking a hiring claim. Ask the provider to give separate dates for candidate delivery, offer acceptance and the first working day. Reserve interview time with your team before agreeing to a start date.

How do hiring models differ for nearshore roles?

Match the service to the work you need someone else to handle.

When reviewing a remote or offshore IT staffing agency, ask which model its contract uses. Keep location, employment duties and daily management as separate questions.

Name the manager who will assign work and review performance. If you need someone else to manage delivery, ask for that responsibility in the proposed scope.

What should you ask a provider before signing?

Request a written response to these questions:

• Who finds and assesses candidates, and can we review the assessment?
• Which entity employs the hire?
• What does the quote include, and which costs can change?
• Who manages daily work and approves leave?
• What happens if the hire leaves or does not meet expectations?
• What is the agreed first working day?

Use the same questions across your shortlist. For replacement terms, ask what triggers a new search and which charges continue during it.

Also confirm who supplies equipment and approves access to company systems. Give your internal team enough time to set up accounts before the person starts.

Where does Opus fit?

Opus states: "Opus charges one flat monthly rate per hire. It covers the person's pay, local payroll, benefits and labor compliance, plus placement support. There is no separate recruiting fee. The rate depends on role, seniority and location."

Published dollar rate: Not published. Ask for a written quote for your role.

Opus states: "The client chooses the finalist and manages day-to-day work."

Consider that division of work if your team can interview finalists and manage the person after hiring. Bring the role scope and required working hours to the discussion.
