What makes this sector hard

  • Every engagement type wants a different profile

    Strategy, operations, technology and change work each favour different backgrounds. Rubrics are calibrated per practice so the shortlist matches the engagement, not just the title.

  • Consulting CVs read alike

    Case-count and firm names look similar on paper. Our scoring extracts specific evidence: the industries served, the problems owned, the outcomes delivered.

  • Leverage without losing quality

    The whole point is more capacity at your standard. Every candidate we surface is reviewed against your rubric before publication — no unranked pipes.

  • Project-based delivery vs long tenure

    Independent consultants, alumni networks and traditional firm tracks are captured separately so shortlists match the delivery model.

The evidence we score against

Every candidate is scored against the role's rubric, and every score points back to a specific line in the CV. For consulting, these are the signals that carry weight:

  • Rubric per practice and level
  • Outcome evidence from the CV
  • Human review before publication

Certifications and credentials that matter here

  • MBA (top-tier where relevant)
  • PMP
  • PRINCE2
  • Scaled Agile (SAFe)
  • Six Sigma Green / Black Belt

What your shortlist looks like

  1. A ranked set of candidates, each with a score and the evidence behind it.
  2. Eligibility checks resolved before the candidate reaches you — right to work, credentials, location model.
  3. Salary expectation against your band, stated plainly, before you invest interview time.
  4. One decision per candidate: advance, hold or decline, reversible for a short window.

Candidates stay invisible to you until we've reviewed them for your specific role, and contact details are released as a separate step.
