Is Consultant First a Staffing Firm?2020-10-20T18:53:17+00:00

No, we do not perform recruiting services. However, we are similar to a staffing firm in that we put the consultant on our payroll as a W2 employee. That means the IRS regards us a legal Employer of Record for you. It also means that you can concentrate on what you do best — work with your project or team, and we will cover your back office details.

Is There a Monthly or Annual Fee to Use Your Services?2020-10-20T18:54:39+00:00

No. There is NO monthly fee or annual fee. Period. Our fee is earned when a company uses your services as a consultant while you are listed as our W2 employee. In other words, we only make money when you make money. When you get paid, we get paid using an agreed upon fee structure. It’s as simple as that.

Specifically, What Does Consultant First Do for Me?2020-10-20T18:55:11+00:00

What Does an Employer of Record Service Do?2020-10-20T18:55:24+00:00

That allows you, as a consultant, to focus on what you do best — while we back you up by working on the back office details.
