FAQ

Pricing questions.

What does "agreed wage" mean?

The hourly rate paid to the staff member. It depends on the role, experience, and your brief. We confirm this with you before any commitment - you always see the full breakdown.

How quickly do I get a quote?

Within 24 hours of submitting your brief.

What does the Standard tier cover?

Standard covers matching, booking coordination, and shift confirmation. Pricing is the agreed wage plus the VERGO fee and VAT.

When should I use Shortlist?

Use Shortlist when fit matters more than speed. VERGO curates the strongest candidates, then you confirm the final team.

When is Gold the right fit?

Gold is for senior and high-trust placements, including guest-facing briefs, productions, and major events. It uses fixed public rates.

Can I mix tiers on one event?

Yes. Many briefs use Standard for the wider team, Shortlist for roles where fit matters more, and Gold for key senior placements.

Is VAT included in the prices shown?

No. VAT is added on top of the Standard and Shortlist totals and on top of the Gold hourly rates shown on this page.

Do you offer ongoing commercial rates?

Yes. If you need regular staffing support, we can quote custom commercial terms and dedicated account management.
