Consider industry and national standards, your level of experience and the value you place on your time when deciding your rate.

We generally say that your hourly rate should be 25% of your day rate.

Below is a guide that may help you determine your rate:

Expert Daily Rate Guide
• The rates you show on your profile are just indicators to potential clients.

• You are free to negotiate rates with clients as you usually would on a project basis.

• The following table is there to help guide you! Please set your rate to what you feel
is appropriate given industry standards, your level of experience and the value you
place on your time when deciding your rate.

• We recommend setting your hourly rate at 20-25% of your daily rate given the
nature of phone interviews is that they’re usually transactional!
