RATE INTELLIGENCE
You can see what your own company charges. You cannot see what the market charges. Rate Intelligence is built from aggregated, anonymized supplier billing across the Beeline network, showing what staffing suppliers charge for a role, refreshed every day. Not a survey, not a purchased dataset, not a number somebody advertised.
The market you cannot see
You can see your own deals and nothing else. So you anchor on last year's placement, add a margin, and send it. Sometimes you lose a role you could have won by four dollars. Sometimes you win one you underpriced by twelve. Your own history is too small a sample to tell you which.
You see where your number sits against thousands of other suppliers billing that same title, level, location, and industry. You find out whether a budget is realistic before you commit recruiters to it, and when it is not, you have something to say other than that it feels low.
No single supplier can see the supply side of their own market.
Beeline can, and that view belongs with you.
What you can do
Know if a rate is realistic before you commit. View 25th, 50th, and 75th percentile benchmarks by title, location, level, and industry.
Stop leaving money on the table and stop losing bids you should have won. Find the sweet spot between competitive and profitable.
When budgets don't match requirements, come to the table with data-backed benchmarks rather than gut instinct.
Monitor how rates are moving over time. Spot shifts by role, region, and industry before they affect your margins.
Who it’s for
Walk into rate conversations armed with data to realign challenging budgets.
“Based on recent engagements in the market, the median bill rate for this role is $92/hr. Let's refine what you're looking for to meet your budget.”
Know if your rate is competitive before submitting. Submit fast and early with the most competitive rate.
“I can see instantly whether my submission is within market range and feel confident my candidate will be accepted by the MSP.”
Align rate strategy across your entire book of business. Spot underpriced job categories before they erode margins.
Protect margins at scale. Use market intelligence to inform pricing strategy across programs and geographies.

Rate Intelligence is not a separate place your team has to remember to go. When a recruiter prices a submittal in Recruiter Workspace, these are the benchmarks they are seeing, in the moment the number is being decided rather than in a report read afterwards.
Where the data comes from
Most rate benchmarking is somebody remembering what they charged last year. This is what suppliers are billing right now, observed across the network at a scale no single supplier could ever assemble.
Rate Intelligence
What suppliers actually billed, aggregated and anonymized across thousands of engagements. First-party observation of the supply side of the market, not a research panel and not a purchased dataset.
Refreshed daily, stale engagements removed
NOT Survey data
Self-reported by whoever answered, shaped by who chose to respond, and published on an annual cycle. It describes a market that has already moved.
Often 12 months old at release
NOT SCRAPED rates
Scraped from postings and listings. Wide ranges, inflated ceilings, and nobody was ever held to the number, because no transaction happened.
Never verified against a placement
Why trust it
Built on real world data benchmarks that inform sourcing decisions on the buyer side.
SOURCE
Reflects real bill rates, not advertised figures, which tend to be broad and inflated.
SYMMETRY
Rate Intelligence gives suppliers visibility into the benchmarks that inform sourcing workflows on the buyer side.
BREADTH
Engagements span a wide range of industries, titles, and locations across the US, Canada, and India.
RECENCY
Stale engagements are excluded automatically so benchmarks stay aligned to current market conditions.
PRICING
Rate Intelligence comes with membership at every plan level, alongside the managed APIs, Recruiter Workspace, Performance Dashboards, and your directory listing. It also powers the rate view inside Recruiter Workspace, so your recruiters are pricing against it whether or not they ever open the benchmark tool directly.
Because it describes the market rather than any one program, it is just as useful on the clients you serve outside Beeline as the ones you serve inside it.

FAQ
Neither. It is Beeline's own transaction data, aggregated and anonymized from engagements running through the platform. We do not license it in from a research firm, and it is not assembled from job postings. That is why it can be refreshed daily rather than published annually.
It describes the supply side of the market. A bill rate is what a supplier charges, and Rate Intelligence aggregates that across thousands of suppliers to show what the market rate for a role looks like. It is not a report on any client's spending, and no buying organization is identified or described anywhere in it.
No. Beeline does not expose any individual client or program data. Benchmarks are aggregated and normalized across millions of data points, with data science models applied so what you see is accurate and current without ever being tied to one client. It is a market view, not a window into a program.
Yes, and this is the part suppliers tend to miss. The data is normalized by title, location, and role characteristics, so it prices any requirement from any client, whether or not that client runs on Beeline.
Refreshed daily, with stale engagements excluded automatically so the benchmark tracks the market rather than lagging it.
The US, Canada, and India for contingent workforce roles, with additional geographies in progress.
We started with the most consistent dataset. Pay rate and markup benchmarking are coming soon.
Today it is viewed inside BSN and via Recruiter Workspace. A data-as-a-service model that would let you pull benchmarks into your own systems is on the roadmap.
