Traditional IT staffing takes 3 weeks and costs too much. Callisto delivers vetted contractors faster — and keeps more money in their pockets. W-2 or 1099. Your choice.
Your project deadline doesn't care about a recruiter's pipeline. Callisto gives you pre-vetted IT contractors ready to start — in 48 hours, not 3 weeks.
Traditional staffing takes 30–40% off the top. Callisto's model is different — we keep less so you earn more. Consistent placements, real support, your choice of W-2 or 1099.
The economics of traditional IT staffing are broken for everyone except the agency. We built something better.
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.
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.
Most platforms force a choice. Callisto supports both — with proper compliance, benefits administration, and payroll handling. Contractors choose per engagement. Companies get flexibility.
