What if the operator is not the right fit?
We replace them — at no placement fee. If an operator isn't working out, let us know in writing and we'll present a matched replacement within 15 business days, often sooner. You're not charged your monthly fee for any gap between operators; we prorate and credit it. Replacements are free in every normal case. The only exception: if you ask to replace the operator in the *same role* more than twice within a 90-day window, each swap beyond the second carries a one-time $500 re-onboarding fee, which covers bringing the new operator up to speed on your systems, tools, and team. Any replacement that happens on our side — an operator resigns, becomes unavailable, or we remove them for performance — never counts toward that and is always free. And if we can't present a replacement that fits within 45 days, you're free to end the engagement with no further obligation. You're committed to the engagement, not to a specific person.
What is the minimum commitment?
Yes, a 90-day initial term. During those first 90 days, Beam guarantees the placement: if the operator isn't working out, we replace them at no charge. After 90 days, the engagement continues month-to-month with 30 days' notice to cancel. There's no long-term contract and no annual lock-in. The 90-day term exists because hiring an operator only to cut them at week 6 doesn't give the relationship a fair shot, but past 90 days, you stay because it's working, not because you have to.
Are there any additional monthly fees?
Every monthly invoice also includes one flat $72 Market Operations Fee, regardless of tier.
