Questions we get asked.

Between 48 hours and five days, depending on the area and how specific the request is. A communication designer is quicker than an AI engineer with healthcare experience.

Nothing to request profiles. Our commission is 20% on the talent's value, added to the budget and visible in the proposal. There's no subscription fee and no search cost.

We replace them with no re-start cost. Tell us early — in the first week it's easy, after a month there's work someone has to pick up.

You can, and we'll talk about it openly. We don't have clauses that sue you for hiring someone you liked working with. We ask that you tell us.

Yes. One day of art direction is a valid request. In those cases — small projects or hourly-billed work — we ask for a €500 deposit upfront, and hours are drawn down from that balance as they are used. Whatever you do not spend stays there.

Through the application, in three steps and about twelve minutes. Then there is portfolio review and a conversation. Most applications do not pass — not because people are bad, but because the bar is an agency short-list.

20%, added on top of your rate and not taken out of it. You set what you want to earn and that is what you receive.

No. You get the consultation, you look at the brief and you decide. Saying no with a reason helps us consult you better next time.

Against approved milestones, and Scallent pays regardless of whether the client has paid us yet. That is the point of the money passing through us.

No. Self-employed is fine. We need a tax number and bank details at contracting stage, not at application.
