Question 1

How is nuen different from other staffing firms?

Accepted Answer

Three structural choices. We are benchless — nobody sits idle waiting to be billed, so there is no pressure to position someone into your team without real fit. We are lean — a small team with low overhead, which is why the whole operation runs smoothly on a 25% margin instead of a hidden markup. And we lean on AI across our own process — sourcing, screening, scheduling, ops — so the margin funds the hire’s growth, not our bureaucracy. The published 75 / 25 split is the real commercial answer, not the start of a longer reveal.

Question 2

Do I need to manage the team myself?

Accepted Answer

No. If you already have strong leadership in the function, the hire plugs into it. If you do not, fractional leadership can step in at the principal or CXO level — engineering, product, operations, people, recruiting, or AI adoption — to handle prioritization, oversight, and the harder calls so you are not coordinating everything alone.

Question 3

How quickly can you start?

Accepted Answer

Timelines depend on the role, but the process is built to move fast: a discovery call, a shortlist of vetted candidates, then a part-time start once you pick the finalist. Fractional leadership can often begin even faster if the scope is already clear.

Question 4

What if the hire isn't the right fit?

Accepted Answer

We back every hire with a 5-business-day replacement guarantee, so you are not stuck nursing a bad match. And with biweekly invoices and short notice periods — one week part-time, two weeks full-time — either side can step out cleanly if it just is not working.

Question 5

How do you keep the person from leaving mid-engagement?

Accepted Answer

Retention is a process at nuen, not luck. It starts with the transparent split — the hire always knows what you pay and what they earn, so no resentment builds quietly. On top of that we fund ongoing AI training, coaching, and appreciation benefits from our side, so the person keeps growing without needing to change jobs to do it. Before AI, keeping the same person 2+ years counted as great retention; now that an experienced person compounds even faster with AI, keeping them matters more than ever.

Question 6

How does the pricing work?

Accepted Answer

The example is simple: you pay $60/hr. It splits 75 / 25 — $45/hr to the hire, $15/hr to nuen. Ongoing AI training and coaching for the hire is included, funded from our side. The exact dollar split for your engagement is shown to you before any work starts.
