What brokers don’t tell you
The hidden costs of traditional FM staffing
The hourly rate is just the beginning. Here is what FM staffing brokers are actually costing you.
Opaque markup
Brokers add 40-60% to technician rates but show you a single line item. You never see what the technician actually earns.
Slow placement
Traditional staffing takes 3-6 weeks per placement. Every week without coverage costs you $2,000-5,000 in delayed maintenance.
Technician churn
When brokers underpay technicians, your best workers leave. Rehiring costs you 2x the original placement fee.
Administrative overhead
Managing invoices, timesheets, and compliance across multiple brokers adds 10-15 hours per month of administrative work.
No performance data
Brokers have no incentive to share performance metrics. You are flying blind on technician quality, response times, and completion rates.
Lock-in contracts
12-month minimums, exclusivity clauses, and conversion fees that penalize you for hiring technicians directly.
