The Math They Don't Want You to Do

Your hire gets $900.
Scale Source keeps $1,183. Every month.

Scale Source advertises "no recruitment fee." That's because they take their cut every single month — forever. Here's where your $2,083 actually goes.

With Scale Source
$2,083/mo
billed to you
~$900 to talent
~$1,183 to SS
Your hire: 43%  ·  Scale Source's cut: 57%
With Sagan
You set the salary
100% goes to your team member
100% goes to YOUR team member
Your hire: 100%  ·  Middleman cut: $0
The person you hire gets ~$900/mo either way. With Scale Source, you pay $2,083 and they pocket ~$1,183 — every month, forever. With Sagan, you pay a small one-time finder's fee and a $499/mo membership. Your hire works for you — not them.
The Receipts

We didn't have to dig. Their own site tells the story.

Scale Source's own pricing shows the math. They call it "no recruitment fee." We call it a monthly fee that never stops.

ScaleSource.com
"Simple, Monthly Billing. Pay a flat monthly fee — no surprises. We handle payroll, admin, and compliance on your behalf."
Translation: they employ your person, take a cut, and you never build real loyalty.
ScaleSource Pricing
Administrative Assistant: $21,600/year ($1,800/mo). Project Manager: $26,400/year ($2,200/mo). Minimum: $2,083/month.
That's $25,000/year — for someone who costs them $10,800.
ScaleSource.com — FAQ
"Why can't I see the workers' contact information?"
Because if you could contact them directly, you'd realize you don't need Scale Source.
The Industry Standard
Staffing markup agencies like Scale Source, DOXA Talent, and others advertise low prices but take 40-60% of what you pay as their ongoing monthly spread.
Same playbook. Same math. Different logo.
Talent Quality

Direct Hire = Better Talent

Would you take a job knowing you get $900 while your employer charges the client $2,083? Good talent won't either. Here's what that means for your franchise.
