How is this different from hiring on Upwork?

We pre-vet to the top 0.25% (1 in 400) and you interview the finalists. They work full-time from professional offices, with 18+ month retention vs a ~90-day freelance average. You\u2019re hiring vetted experts, not taking a chance.

What if they're not a good fit?

First 30 days is a free replacement, no questions asked. Through 90 days we replace for genuine performance issues.

Do I need to commit to 12 months?

Contracts are 12 months because we work long-term with partners. If the fit is not right, the replacement guarantee has you covered.

Can I start with one and add more later?

Yes. About 90% of partners start with one Distilled Expert and add more within 3–9 months as they scale.

What's the actual time to hire?

Around 21 days on average from discovery call to a confirmed hire.

How do payments work?

Simple monthly invoicing on the 1st of each month. No hidden fees.
