Use our weekly, monthly and hourly calculatorEducation and practical readiness
Keep salary, recruitment fees, employment administration, equipment, systems and continuing support on separate lines. Add a cost only when a quote or internal plan supports it. Do not guess an employer burden to make one option look cheaper.
Use the same time period and capacity for both proposals. The purpose is to understand the models, not calculate a winner from incomplete figures.
Write the tasks and approval boundaries before interviewing. For research support, ask how the person checks sources, tracks changes and raises uncertainty for the attorney.
Read education and experience as evidence for those tasks. Agree on who supplies instructions, checks quality and handles unfamiliar work.
Fit starts with your work
If you are considering Somewhere direct hire, request the full recruitment terms and determine who takes responsibility for the ongoing employment and working relationship.
If you are considering our support packages, define the continuing work and review responsibilities. Compare the written service scope rather than treating a package as a salary estimate. Our contracts are month-to-month, with a 2-Week Free Trial.
