Dedicated tech talent on your team,
without becoming their employer.

Neither. It's one flat monthly fee per person, and their pay is included in it. There is no placement fee and nothing billed on top: your fee is how they're paid, every month they're on your team. Typical starting prices are on What it costs, from $2,500 a month; each engagement's fee is set in its SOW.

No. Engagements are built to last, and they run month-to-month only so you're never locked in: either side can end one on 30 days' notice. 92% of the developers we have placed stayed 12 months or more.

No. An agency finds someone and moves on. We find and vet them, you pick who joins and direct the work, and we hold their contract and pay them for as long as they stay, for one flat monthly fee with their pay included and no placement fee.

Contractors dedicated to your team, full-time or part-time as you need. They're our independent contractors, not your employees: sourceBOLD is the contractor of record (CoR), the contracting counterparty on every engagement, so you don't contract the individual or take on employer-of-record obligations.

The engagement runs month-to-month with a 30-day notice for convenience under our Master Services Agreement. We refund any Service Fee already collected for the period after your termination date, prorated by calendar day, and never charge for a month beginning on or after it. We work hard to make month one count — see the vetting funnel above.

You're invoiced once a month per active contractor on the 15th, for services to be rendered the following calendar month. We collect Service Fees by ACH debit from a business checking account. Cards are accepted only for expense reimbursement invoices. Contractors are paid only after your invoice settles — sourceBOLD never floats funds it hasn't received.

Within three business days of SOW execution, we invoice a one-time Onboarding Payment equal to the prorated Service Fee covering the period from the SOW Effective Date to the first full month you are regularly invoiced for — and if the Effective Date falls after the 15th, that period also includes the whole of the following month, because that month’s regular invoice run has already passed. Work starts once it is received. Regular monthly billing then commences at the start of the next regular billing cycle. No surprise setup fees.

Across the Americas — primarily Latin America, with a working-hours overlap of four to eight hours with US teams. We do not place anyone from outside this corridor.

Everything a contractor creates for you under an SOW is yours as it is created — not on payment, not on completion. Each contractor agreement assigns it to your company by name and gives you the right to enforce that directly. Mutual confidentiality runs for five years post-termination (indefinitely for trade secrets). A non-solicit applies during the MSA and for 12 months after it ends — engaging a sourceBOLD contractor outside the platform in that window triggers a breach fee equal to 12× the highest monthly Service Fee paid or payable for that contractor, as liquidated damages, where that contractor has been named in an SOW; for anyone else we may recover actual damages instead.

Marketplaces give you a directory and a payment rail. sourceBOLD screens every applicant and meets every candidate, handles contracts and compliance, runs a funding-gate payment system, and puts in writing what happens if a contractor isn't working out: they correct the work at no extra charge, and if it isn't corrected within ten business days you can end that SOW and we propose a replacement. You select one of the top candidates we picked — not one of three thousand.
