Does a Career Launcher count as my employee or contractor?

Written by Parker Dewey | Sep 24, 2025 9:39:24 PM

In short, no. We make it really, really easy.

Your company pays a fixed fee to Parker Dewey to execute a project. Similar to other consulting firms, you can select a specific individual to execute that assignment and communicate with them directly, but the business relationship is with Parker Dewey itself. The Terms of Service between Parker Dewey and both Career Launchers and Clients further elaborates on this, and Parker Dewey receives a physically signed copy of this from all of its contractors before a project begins.

The specific Career Launchers working on these engagements are not employees or 1099 independent contractors of our clients—meaning  no administrative, accounting, or HR burden for your company.
