Excel at every form of consulting recruitment
There are many avenues for hiring consultants, including campus recruiting, headhunting lateral hires, and bringing in experts from other fields. Our software adapts to support managing each detailed process. It integrates with your website so your applicants experience your firm’s brand from end to end. Save time on scheduling high-volume interview periods. Never fall behind on key correspondence with applicants, even when managing a large pool. Review our applicant analytics to make your final decisions and meet your hiring and diversity targets.
Get every new consultant up to speed and primed to succeed
The integration period makes or breaks a consultant’s happiness and success at your firm. Start them off right — remote or in the office — with a set timeline of key tasks, meetings, and introductions specific to their role. Track new hire integration progress in any location with our visual dashboard, and prevent any consultant from falling behind with red alerts. Improve the process for the entire firm by collecting real-time feedback from your hires and your integration team.
Identify consultant availability and inform work distribution
See your entire firm or team’s anticipated availability in one place, with color-coding to quickly assess how busy they are. Use their submitted office days, planned absences, and availability to assign the right amount of work — enough to keep them all satisfied and on target for their billable hours, but not so much that they’re at risk of burnout or low productivity. Get a clear eye of every consultant's schedule and capacity, even when they're traveling or working remotely.
Staff consultants on projects effectively & equitably
Our resource allocation system can be used to staff consultants on projects, delegate work to support staff, or automate your internship or summer associate/analyst programs. By tracking individual availability, demographics, skills, and interests, you can assign consultants to projects more effectively and equitably. Make sure every associate is working at capacity, and that no individual or office is being over or underutilized. Save time and effort finding the right consultants for every client project. Import projects, billable hours, and employee information directly from your accounting system and HR system.
Easy and effective evaluations that everyone will love
We help you set up workflows for any and all recurring evaluations and specifically support many-to-many feedback on every project. Your consultants can indicate what they worked on and who managed them, and your evaluators can provide feedback on projects without having to remind themselves what each consultant worked on. Identify top performers and see who needs more coaching and guidance. Use year-over-year reports to track a consultant’s progress through their career, by competency or performance factor.
Guide each consultant’s performance in real time
Your annual evaluations will illustrate the big picture of consultant progress, but what about the time in between? Integrate our real-time feedback system to provide project-specific and short-term performance guidance on top of your annual reviews. Increase consultant and client satisfaction by supporting and course correcting the details of your firm’s work as needed. Allow consultants to request feedback from their evaluators on specific work or problems.
A learning management system (LMS) for all consulting education needs
Our LMS can be branded to your organization and customized to handle all your education needs. On the management side, set out structured learning paths or allow consultants to pick and choose courses. Organize classrooms, webinars, and e-learning, with full Outlook calendar integration so you can suggest courses to specific groups of learners. Consultants can use their personalized homepage to access resources and add courses to their calendar with one-click registration. We provide a full credit management system for an internal university or required accreditation.
Nurture consultant skills and career development
Set out the skills and benchmarks a well-rounded consultant needs to advance in their career. Each consultant can track their progress as they gain work experience and plan their next learning opportunities with custom training plans. Skill tracking integrates with our resource allocation system to help you staff diverse teams who can help each other develop new skills. Keep everyone’s work varied and engaging while giving them opportunities and guidance to become the best consultants possible.
