A. AVID does not charge our candidates for a fee for any of our services. In a contract IT staffing scenario, AVID will pay the respective consultant their desired hourly rate, and then negotiate a bill rate with our client. With any permanent placement, our client is responsible for paying AVID a percentage of the candidate’s annual first year salary as the placement fee.

A. There are many factors that are taken into account when determining an IT contractor’s hourly rate. First, what did he or she make in their last position? The rate may further be increased or decreased depending upon the duration of the assignment. Second, the client’s budget for this position must be analyzed to determine how much flexibility AVID will have in our rates. Final factors include job responsibilities and other variables such as travel.

A. AVID’s website is simultaneously updated the minute we enter a new IT job into our database. Therefore, every position listed on our website is up to date.
