Recruiting and readiness
With an in-house hire, the firm owns sourcing, screening and preparation. Telamanis recruits, tests, vets and trains people for defined PI roles.
Comparison
In-house hiring vs managed Telamanis capacity.
Hiring adds base payroll, benefits, recruiting, training, turnover, and management burden. Telamanis publishes a $3,500 monthly member rate and uses base payroll × 1.4 for a consistent loaded-cost planning comparison.

People and ownership
Compare the role and the support around it.
In-house employees can be valuable members of the firm. The choice is who will recruit, prepare, supervise and cover the particular work you need.
Continuing support
Internal leaders set their own training and coverage model. Telamanis provides daily supervision, ongoing coaching and backup planning. See Training & Supervision.
Firm responsibilities
Both models require firm direction, authorized access, case strategy and final approval. Managed staffing reduces daily production-management work; it does not remove the firm’s legal responsibilities.
