What We Help You Staff

Three ways to put the right TD on your program.

✦ Choose your level of control

From a competitive bid to a fully managed team — every TD is vetted, referenced, and ready.

RFP

Request for Proposal

Post your program and let vetted TDs bid. Review competitive proposals and award the best fit — ideal when you want options and price discovery.

P.S.

Personal Selection

Browse our full roster — profiles, experience, references — and hand-pick the exact TDs you want. Full control, no middle step.

W.M.

We Manage

Hand it to us. We assemble your entire TD team end-to-end — you just contract and pay them. The fully managed option.

Who We Are

A marketplace built for the MICE industry — so you stop losing 10–20 hours sourcing TDs through word-of-mouth and LinkedIn.

Not a staffing agency. We never bill your TD's labor — just an 18% finder's fee, billed separately after placement.

Why It Matters

Finding the right Travel Directors eats hours — and the best ones are people you may never come across on your own.

Have us find your team, so you can focus on managing your organization's most critical day.

Built for planners who can't afford to guess.

Fully managed

We Can Manage the Entire Hire for You

Hand us your program and we assemble your whole TD team end-to-end — you just contract and pay them. Prefer more control? Bid out an RFP or hand-pick TDs yourself.

The #1 Reason Planners Switch

The real cost isn't our fee. It's what you lose when sourcing goes wrong.

A mis-matched TD, a last-minute scramble, hours chasing references — that's the hidden cost of the status quo. The biggest value isn't the TD we find; it's the stress we eliminate.
