Why Companies Are Switching to White Glove

With White Glove you pay what you choose, no more: no hidden fees, no memberships, no subscriptions. One supplier, one invoice, the paperwork handled.

You need a controls engineer. You need one now. The line expansion starts in three weeks and your internal team is already stretched across two other projects. So you make the call you have always made, and wait for resumes. White Glove is a different way to reach the professional you need.

The Traditional Staffing Problem

Example: Controls Engineer for a 12-week line commissioning project at 480 hours. With White Glove you pay what you choose, no more: no hidden fees, no memberships, no subscriptions. Automate America takes a small percentage of the rate you post before we show the contract to the community, and professionals are paid 100% of the rate they see when they apply.

What White Glove Actually Is

Automate America's White Glove program is not a staffing agency. It is a different model. The company posts on Automate America. The platform's pool of 6,300+ published professionals see the posting. Automate America onboards the professional, runs timesheets and invoicing, and pays the professional on the contract's net terms. No conversion fees when the contract ends.

The difference is what you're paying for: with White Glove you pay for the work, and onboarding, timesheets, invoicing and contract management come with it.

Why It Works

  1. Direct matching. Professionals apply to your contract with their profiles. 2. No sales overhead. No account managers to wine and dine you. 3. Technology, not headcount. The platform manages contracts with a fraction of the overhead.

What You Get with White Glove

Invoicing and payment: a single invoice to you; Automate America pays the professional on the contract's net terms. Compliance and documentation: onboarding paperwork and insurance certificates collected and kept on file. The professional works as an independent contractor, through their own company, or as a service partner’s employee — never as an employee of Automate America. Contract management: scope, duration, rate changes all through the platform. Anonymous posting: company identity hidden until hire. One price: you pay the rate you posted, no more.

When White Glove Makes Sense

You hire contractors regularly. Your projects are time-sensitive. You want one clear price. You need specialized skills that general staffing agencies fill slowly and expensively.

The Industry Is Moving

The traditional staffing model was built in the 1970s. It worked when companies had no way to find specialized talent on their own. There is another way now.

Post your contract on Automate America. Select White Glove. Your company identity stays hidden. Professionals apply. No recruiter calls. Just the professional you need, at the rate you chose.
