- $12,000 to $15,000 per month is the typical fully loaded cost of a senior US individual contributor once benefits and overhead are counted.
- Opus employs each hire directly and covers payroll, compliance, and benefits in one rate. 97% of placements are still in the seat after one year, with a lifetime replacement guarantee.
