MDliaison is a marketplace of pre-vetted 1099 medical device sales contractors. It is not a CSO and not a recruiter: you set priorities and run the rep day to day. We handle vetting, matching, time tracking, and billing. Device companies use the network to cover an empty territory, staff a launch, or add hours without a 60 to 120 day W2 search. Typical coverage is 10 to 40 hours per week, in the field in 1 to 3 weeks, with no placement fee.
If you are weighing hiring models, start with the cost of an empty device territory, then how device commission structures actually pay. Commission-only is device-only; when that model works is a separate call from hourly coverage. To staff a territory, describe the role.
