Why Callisto

Different model. Better outcomes.

The economics of traditional IT staffing are broken for everyone except the agency. We built something better.

48h

Speed That Matches Reality

Legacy staffing firms average 21 days from job order to first placement. Our pre-vetted bench and structured intake process compresses that to 48 hours. Contractors are ready. We just need to match.

85%

Fair Economics, Full Stop

Industry-standard contractor take-home is 60–65% of the bill rate. Callisto passes 85% through. Better pay attracts better talent. Better talent means better outcomes for the companies we serve.

W-2 + 1099

Dual Classification Done Right

Most platforms force a choice. Callisto supports both — with proper compliance, benefits administration, and payroll handling. Contractors choose per engagement. Companies get flexibility.
