Direct Hire Fees: Hiring Croux Talent Directly

Updated

If you decide to hire a Croux talent directly as a W-2 employee or 1099 contractor, a Direct Hire Fee applies. Here's how it works.

The Policy

Per Croux's Terms of Use:

  • If you (or one of your affiliates) hire a Croux talent directly within 6 months of their last shift with you, a Direct Hire Fee is charged
  • The fee is $2,000 per talent
  • If the talent has worked at least 200 hours with you on Croux before the direct hire, the fee drops to $1,000

Why This Exists

Croux invests in finding, vetting, and verifying every talent we send to your shifts — background checks, identity verification, and ongoing quality control. The Direct Hire Fee covers a portion of that investment when you decide to take someone off our platform and bring them onto your team directly.

How to Convert Someone

  1. Reach out to support — email support@croux.co with the talent's name and your conversion intent before extending an offer
  2. We'll confirm hours worked + applicable fee — your account will be invoiced for the Direct Hire Fee
  3. Once paid, the talent is free to accept your direct offer with no further obligation to Croux

What Counts as a Direct Hire

A direct hire includes any employment or contracting relationship outside of Croux, including:

  • W-2 employment (full-time or part-time)
  • 1099 contractor engagement
  • Hire by a parent company, subsidiary, or affiliated entity of your business

What Doesn't Count

  • Continuing to book the same talent through Croux for shifts (no fee — that's how the platform is meant to work)
  • The talent working for an unrelated business (you owe nothing)
  • The talent's last shift with you was more than 6 months ago

Examples

Example 1 — Standard fee:

  • You've booked Talent A for 6 shifts (~30 hours total) over the past 3 months
  • You decide to hire them as a part-time W-2 employee
  • Direct Hire Fee = $2,000

Example 2 — Reduced fee:

  • Talent B has worked 220 hours with you across 35 shifts over the past 4 months
  • You decide to bring them on full-time
  • Direct Hire Fee = $1,000 (because 200+ hours)

Example 3 — No fee:

  • Talent C last worked a shift with you 8 months ago
  • You hire them directly
  • No Direct Hire Fee owed (outside the 6-month window)
