The problem

Hiring GTM Talent Is Broken

Agencies charge 40-100% markups. Recruiters take $30K+ placement fees. Bad hires cost $100K before you know it. There's a better way.

Agency Markups

You pay $150/hr. The rep sees $60. The rest is margin you're funding for office space and account managers you'll never meet.

Lock-In Contracts

Want to hire your contractor full-time? That'll be $25-50K in conversion fees. Want to leave? 90-day notice period. You're trapped.

Blind Hiring

Resumes and interviews don't predict performance. You won't know if someone can actually build pipeline until they're 3 months in and $30K deep.

How it works

Three Steps. No Surprises.

Browse and Match

Browse pre-vetted profiles filtered by role, industry, tier, and availability. Every member has been AI-interviewed, background-checked, and platform-certified before they appear.

Engage at Cost

Start an engagement at the talent's actual rate plus 5%. They work inside your graph8 workspace with full access to your campaigns, sequences, and data. Cancel anytime.

Hire or Keep Flexing

Found someone great? Hire them full-time - zero conversion fee, no questions asked. Or keep them on flexible engagement. Your call, always.

Frequently Asked Questions

You pay the talent's actual rate - what they take home - plus a 5% marketplace fee. There's no hidden markup, no agency margin, no inflated rates. If an SDR's rate is $25/meeting, you pay $25 plus $1.25 in platform fees. That's it.

Yes. Marketplace talent works inside your graph8 workspace - running campaigns, sequences, and calls using your account. You need an active graph8 subscription for them to access the tools. This is also what makes onboarding instant - no separate tool stack to configure.

Yes. Zero conversion fee, zero buyout, no waiting period. If you want to make a marketplace member a full-time employee, just do it. We don't charge for introductions that work out. Other platforms charge $25-50K+ for this. We think that's backwards.
