But we’re indeed not your regular agency. See how Dillo compares.
Differentiator | Dillo | Other Agencies |
---|---|---|
Pre-sale time | AI automation helps gather requirements and start searching in minutes bypassing multiple unnecessary pre-sale calls. | A few weeks and multiple calls to talk to sales and engagement teams. |
Paperwork | We ask for MSA/SOW only after we show you candidates you like, no waste of your time. | Need to sign NDA, MSA, SOW before getting candidates. |
Time to start search | 5 minutes. | Several weeks. |
Pricing transparency | Total price transparency. You always know candidate compensation and our margin. | Doesn't show candidate salaries; motivated to find cheaper developers to maximize margin. |
Margin | Charges flat 30% margin for the first year and 20% further. | Charges 40-60% margins. |
Seniority levels | Charges flat margin; no incentive to misrepresent seniority. Will never push for promotions to increase pay. | Prefers to staff juniors and position them as seniors to charge more. |
Ability to hire directly | Allows direct hires of certain engineers after 12 months to retain key talent. | Strict non-solicitation prevents direct hires. |
Relocating engineers | Will never relocate your talents to other projects without permission. | Relocates best engineers from your project to more profitable ones. |
Truly US-based HQ | Dillo is local in Texas, with a real office, and all federal/local taxes paid here in the USA. | Other agencies either have a Delaware LLC or small sales office, serving as a proxy to relocate profit somewhere else. |
