1. Introduction
We are an online collaboration and job-placement platform for Lone Eagle™ self-employed professionals, Micro-Businesses (1 to 5 employees) and hiring organizations who wish to obtain their services.
We welcome you to our website and anticipate that you will find our unique services and offerings beneficial to your business needs. We provide the unique opportunity to match up experts when you need the experts for just the right project without any special fee charged by our website. We match experts to our clients and we do not charge the clients for access to our website or resources. By accessing and logging into our website we are providing a license to you for access to the information and resources.
1.1. Purpose
Conduuit™, is a service company dedicated to serving the self-employed IT and Business professionals and entrepreneurs (hereto "Lone Eagle™") with job placement, financial and back-office support services (BOSS) and networking opportunities with other like-minded Lone Eagle™ consultants. Conduuit™, serves as the bridge (or "Conduuit™"), between Lone Eagle™ consultants and hiring organizations who wish to contract their services (hereto "Clients"). Conduuit's Talent Search and Placement (TSP) services introduce and connect you with the right Lone Eagle™ expert. Our Job Board and a TSP team place qualified Lone Eagle™ consultants before you to consider for projects at a rate that is advantageous to the Lone Eagle™ by eliminating Layer Cake contracting and pass-through rates. The Lone Eagle™ can retain 94% of the fees paid by the Client for the Lone Eagle™ services. The Conduuit™ Job Board allows all Conduuit™ Clients to post their contract requirements allowing our TSP team to submit qualified Lone Eagle™ members for you to access, review, interview and engage.
Conduuit™ Clients sign up through the Conduuit™ Services to select from the database of qualified Conduuit™ Lone Eagle™ consultants for Client projects. When a Lone Eagle™ is selected by the Client, the Lone Eagle™ agrees to provide the services at the established rates and a formal on-boarding process (includes criminal, education, and drug background investigation) will commence. All transactions between Client and Lone Eagle™ are brokered by Conduuit™. Lone Eagle™ fees are paid by Client to Conduuit™. Conduuit™ will pay the Lone Eagle™ the total amount invoiced to the client minus the Conduuit™ fees.
