Introduction
The current model creates a double loss: organisations pay inflated costs, while professionals receive less than the value they create.

The state of play
cross regulated sectors, organisations are spending heavily on agency margins, and professionals are receiving less than the value they create. Both sides know the system is inefficient. Neither has had a credible alternative.
This report sets out what is broken, why it persists, and what a transparent model looks like in practice.
Executive summary
Many organisations carry agency costs of up to 25% of annual salary on permanent hires, and high hourly margins on temporary cover.
Professionals routinely receive a smaller share of the value they generate than they would in a transparent model.
Netvett applies a transparent flat fee — £10 per shift booking, £1,000 per direct recruitment — and lets professionals keep 100% of their pay rate.
Fair economics is not a marketing line. It is the operating rule that protects trust, continuity, and workforce dignity.
