FAQ
Common questions about hiring through Stiple
How quickly will Stiple respond after I submit a brief?
A real person reviews every brief and replies within one business day. We start by clarifying scope and budget, then propose 1–3 consultants whose specialty and rate match your engagement — never a generic blast.
Are the consultants vetted, or is this an open marketplace?
Every consultant in the network has been reviewed for proposal quality, on-time delivery, and at least one reference project. You are not browsing a public list; Stiple curates a short list for each brief.
How does pricing work for the employer?
You pay the consultant's rate directly — there is no markup, no platform fee, and no subscription. Stiple does not take a cut of the engagement; matching is free for both sides in 2026.
What kind of work is a good fit?
Anything an independent consultant can scope in one proposal: marketing audits, CRM implementations, fractional CFO work, HR compliance reviews, pricing reviews, software selection, and similar focused engagements. Long-running staff augmentation is not a fit.
Can I review a sample Stiple proposal before committing?
Yes — the comparison pages link to a live Stiple proposal rendered as a PDF. You will see the structure, tone, and rate benchmarking before you submit a brief.
Will my brief and contact info be shared publicly?
No. Your brief is only visible to the Stiple matching team and the 1–3 consultants proposed for the engagement. It is never published, indexed, or shared with anyone outside that workflow.
