The New Way
to Hire
Skilled Trades.

No placement fee until the job is done.
You only pay when we deliver. That's the model. That's the difference.

Every other agency bills you upfront, win or lose. We don't. Our performance-based model means our success is tied directly to yours — we place the right people or we don't get paid.

Why a Résumé Can't Tell You What We Already Know

We don't just read applications. We know our candidates — their work ethic, their reliability, their craft. That's the 10X difference.

The Difference Is Everything

Not a Staffing Agency.
Your Strategic Labor Partner.

Traditional staffing fills seats. We solve workforce challenges — with a performance-based model that aligns our success entirely with yours.

The Old Way — Traditional Staffing
Transactional. One-Sided. No Accountability.
  • Large upfront fees or retainers — paid before a single person performs
  • Candidates are sent, not matched — quality and culture fit are your problem
  • Generic recruiters with no deep trades knowledge
  • If the hire doesn't work, you absorb the loss — they've already been paid
  • Long contracts that lock you in regardless of results
  • One solution — take it or leave it
The 10X Way — Performance-Based Partner
Accountable. Capital Efficient. Results-Driven.
  • $0 upfront. You pay only after talent is on-site and performing
  • Precision-matched to your skills, culture, and operational environment — ready Day 1
  • Deep trades expertise: electrical, mechanical, construction, manufacturing, and beyond
  • If it doesn't work, billing pauses. We replace at no cost. You only pay for what's working.
  • No long-term contracts — performance-based agreements built on mutual accountability
  • Three integrated pathways — contract, contract-to-perm, and direct hire — one partner
The 10X Model

Built on Three Principles.

Everything we do flows from the same foundation. Our model isn't a feature — it's a fundamentally different way of thinking about labor partnerships.

Performance-Based

We don't invoice you for promises. Billing is tied to actual hours worked and real outcomes. Our fee structure means we only succeed when you do — which makes our incentives perfectly aligned with yours from day one.

Capital Efficient

No large upfront placement fees. No retainers. Weekly billing on actual activity. And with 10X CONNECT, your placement fee is spread across 1,080 billable hours — so your workforce investment stays liquid, not locked up in sunk costs.

Strategic Partnership

We don't fill requisitions. We solve workforce challenges. Your dedicated 10X specialist learns your operations, your culture, and your growth trajectory — and builds a talent strategy around it. That's what it means to be a partner, not a vendor.

Introducing Workforce Liquidity™

The Only Model Where
Your Hiring Risk Pauses
When Performance Does.

10X CONNECT is unlike any direct hire model on the market. Instead of a large upfront placement fee, your cost is spread evenly across the candidate's first 1,080 hours on the job — billed weekly, in step with their performance.

How Workforce Liquidity™ Works
✓ When It Works

On your payroll · Day 1

Billing Resumes
Remaining hours continue · Pay only for what works

No Large Upfront Fee

Your placement fee — 22% (Exclusive Priority) or 25% (Standard) of annual salary — is spread evenly across 1,080 billable hours. Billed weekly, in proportion to actual performance. $0 due on day one.

Capital Efficient

Billing Pauses on Non-Performance

If the candidate isn't the right fit at any point, billing stops immediately. You don't pay for a placement that isn't working. Zero sunk cost.

Risk Protected

Resume on the Right Person

We replace the candidate at no additional cost. When the new professional is in place, billing resumes on the remaining hours. You only ever pay for what's working.

Unique to 10X

  • Billing pauses if placement doesn't fit
  • Free replacement — billing resumes on new hire

Workforce Liquidity™
10X Advantage

Our Performance Guarantee

10X Growth & 10X Connect

“We needed a faster, more effective way to hire skilled employees, and traditional recruiting wasn’t giving us the flexibility we needed. Using 10X Growth, we were able to evaluate candidates on the job and assess both technical ability and long-term fit before making a hiring decision. After proven performance, we converted several employees to permanent roles through 10X Connect’s pay-as-you-go hiring model. The process reduced hiring risk, eliminated the need for a large upfront recruiting fee, and helped us make stronger long-term hires with confidence.”
