C2H With Automate America

When you post a C2H on Automate America, you get instant access to thousands of automation professionals, but the talent pool is smaller than a standard hourly contract position.  The reason is, many of our professionals prefer to remain contractors, as it is generally better for the customer and professional.  Another cause for the smaller talent pool is that you do not get access to the available engineers at member companies.  Member companies have professionals to do your work, but they do not want you to offer them a job, their pros are only available for Hourly Contracts.  We will still fill your positions, but not as fast or with as many options.

How It Works for Professionals

Build a beautiful and complete professional profile because customers choose the profile with the most related experience and skills.  Search Contract to Hire in the link below.  Apply to anything that you like and are qualified for.  When the customer shortlists you, you will get an email, and they may call or email you for a video, phone, or in-person interview.  When they hire you, you will get one last chance to accept or decline.  If you accept, you must show up and perform, if you do not show up or communicate, your profile will be disabled.  After 90 days the customer will either offer you an in-house position or request to extend the current contract to end the engagement.  You will be able to choose when you get paid and we will help you every step of the way!

To Good To Be True?

We take a small percentage of the rate the customer posts the contract for, before we show it to the marketplace.  We do not take much because we have automated the back office processes and it does not cost much for us to scale.

What Rate Should I Post My Contract For?

Your contract rate should = the burden rate of an employee in the same position.  What would you pay an employee?  Take that hourly base pay for a direct employee and multiply that by 1.8 times and that will be your hourly contract base rate.  Now an on-demand contractor costs you exactly the same as an employee, just less risk and commitment. The next slide explains burden rates in detail.

How is the Burden Rate Calculated?

Employees are extremely expensive!  The burden rate is the actual rate the employee costs the company and is the suggested rate that you should pay the contractor.  1.8 times base pay is the standard calculation.  Formula = employee pay + the company match for Social Security, FICA, and Medicare, then add Vacation, PTO, Health Insurance, 401K, Uniforms, Tools, Software, Worker's Comp, Computers, etc.  Employee Burden Rate = Hourly Contract Rate
