Why Crafture Is Different?
Why Crafture Is Different From Traditional Consultancies
Many candidates rely on consultancies expecting them to manage their job search and generate interviews.
However, job support services operate under different business models and strategies.
Crafture follows a structured job search system designed to improve visibility, generate interviews, and help candidates navigate the hiring process effectively.

Understanding Different Service Models
Candidates exploring job search support often come across different types of consultancies.
Some operate on salary-percentage models, others charge large upfront fees, while some provide only limited application support.
Understanding these differences helps candidates make better decisions about their job search strategy.

Market Reality: C2C vs W2 Job Market
Some consultancies focus primarily on C2C vendor networks.
However, the overall job market contains a much larger number of W2 contract and full-time roles.
-
A majority of available opportunities are W2 contract or full-time positions -
C2C roles represent a smaller portion of the overall market
-
Because of this difference, relying only on vendor networks can limit the number of available opportunities.
-
W2 contract roles
-
Company portal applications
-
Recruiter networking
-
This allows candidates to access
a much larger portion of the job market.

Understanding the C2C
Payroll Model
Crafture does not act as a payroll employer. Our focus is helping candidates apply strategically and get hired directly by companies.
Some consultancies operate under a C2C payroll model, where:
Resumes are often submitted through vendor networks instead of direct company applications
The consultancy usually becomes the official payroll employer rather than the client company
The client company pays the consultancy, not the candidate directly
The consultancy keeps a portion of the bill rate or salary as margin
Candidates may not always know the actual rate paid by the client
Switching jobs later may require documentation from the consultancy
Benefits offered in direct full-time roles may not always be included
While some consultancies promote C2C as “no upfront fee”, candidates should understand that the consultancy typically keeps a margin from the bill rate for the entire duration of the contract, which can reduce the candidate’s take-home compensation compared to direct employment.
Client budget:
$100K equivalent
Consultancy margin / payroll handling:
15–25%
Candidate effective compensation:
around $75K–$85K
Important Note About Freelancers
Some freelancers offer job application support for a small upfront fee.
However, their support is often limited to basic job applications, and structured job search strategy, networking support, or interview preparation may not be included.
