and ask them to find you a deal.
What is a "good deal"? One where the pilots have their Ts & Cs eroded to the point that they are demoralised and want to quit the profession? One where the operator is forced to take short cuts and make decisions that diminish safety because margins are so squeezed?

If you want safety, better off insisting to the broker that the operator employs all pilots on full-time contracts, pays their annual LPCs and medicals, and gives them decent sick pay. And insist that the aircraft operate with adequate supplementary fuel reserves, that the operator is not penalised if the pilots have to divert etc etc.
