A consultant embedded in your team, working your process and reporting to your lead. Use it when a project needs a skill your team does not have, when a phase needs more hands than headcount allows, or when someone is out and the work is not. Engagements run from a few weeks to multi-year, at hourly rates quoted up front.
Two routes to a permanent hire. On contract-to-hire the consultant works as our employee for three to six months and converts to your payroll if both sides want it to continue, so you see how someone actually works before you commit a salary line. On direct placement we run the search and hand you a short list; fees are contingent on a start date and every placement carries a replacement guarantee.
For work you would rather hand over whole. We assemble a small team, scope the work with you, and run delivery against milestones you approve, so you get one point of accountability and one status report instead of four separate contracts. Common shapes: an application build, a modernisation of a system someone else wrote, a data or reporting workstream, or a backlog that has to clear before a deadline.
