01 · The question

Last year you billed €240,000. How much of it did you see?

At Shortlist, you work independently and keep up to 75% of what you bill. We handle the rest.

Run the numbersHow it works

02 · The options

Employee or freelancer?
Both cost you something.

As an employee

You bring it in.
The agency cashes in.

Most of your fees stay with the agency. In return, you get a car, targets and a manager who tells you how to call.

Alone, as a freelancer

You keep everything.
But you also do everything.

CRM, invoices, contracts and bookkeeping: you do it all yourself. Between four walls, with no colleagues to spar with.

03 · The solution

Independent,
with an agency behind you.

You build your own name and your own clients. We provide everything a top agency has, except the boss.
