Specific Skill Sets
The “loaded cost” to retain employees can be as much as twice their salary!
We can help you reduce that cost by a third or more. Our Specialist Staffing Ser-
vices will help you find the perfect talent—or provide a more affordable way
ONBOARDING
to keep the talent you’ve already got.
Our team of Specialists (technical writers, copywriters, designers, web producers,
production and traffic managers, software developers and programmers, and IT
professionals) come from Fortune 500 companies and leading advertising agencies.
If you would like to work with a specific individual, Sprocket can take them on as
an employee (a Sprocket Specialist). You get to set their rate. You can have them
work on-site. You get the benefits of an employer-employee relationship without the
responsibilities or overhead costs of maintaining an employee. Of course, you still
retain the right to terminate service at any time should you be dissatisfied with an
individual’s performance.

The Process Is Easy
You supply some basic information such as hourly rate, length of project (we’ll include
PROCESS
all the information in an email to you); at the same time, we contact the specialist to
get a background check started, then proceed with the rest of the paperwork. This
process takes about two weeks.
Based on the information you provide, Sprocket emails you a cost estimate and you
open a PO. We’ll also include information about requesting badges, phones, and
internal network access.
Once your PO has been approved, the Specialist will have returned their new-hire
documents and signed a contract. They’re ready for work!
