Independent Management Consultant
Project-based Management ConsultantTalent Response works to connect independent professionals like yourself that have had it with the 70-hour, 70%-travel work-week with boutique consulting firms trying to better manage variable project demand. We are trusted advisers to boutique consulting firms, sourcing the most qualified consultants to augment staff on projects such as M&amp;A due diligence, go-to-market strategy, and litigation support. Unlike consulting job boards, we present only qualified opportunities to you, dramatically reducing your search costs (e.g. marketing, sales) for consulting engagements. Consulting firms call us when the need for qualified professionals is most pressing, resulting in a fast matching process.If you're interested in becoming a part of the Talent Response network, please submit your resume - it should take around 2 minutes by pulling from your LinkedIn profile. We may follow-up afterwards with additional questions to ensure that we have a full background on your skills and expertise to match you with the most appropriate opportunities.ABOUT TALENT RESPONSETalent Response works to re-imagine consulting.Our founder’s background includes work at a boutique consulting firm, where project work ebbed and flowed…along with employee balance. After the drought of work, with time often spent drafting unsolicited proposals, the big jobs would finally come in. Like other boutique consulting firms, the firm would struggle to staff up on projects that came in waves. The true cost of this unpredictable project demand extended beyond the cost of lower overall utilization to include costs of employee turnover, layoffs, and deferred project work.On the other side of the equation, post-MBA independent consultants have precisely the skills required to deliver on those “peak demand” engagements. Increasingly, professionals are rejecting the trade-off between the 70-hour work week and exiting the workforce. Instead, they are utilizing their skills in a way that gives them a bit more control over the nature and intensity of the projects they take on.Why shouldn't there be a way to meet project surges at consulting firms with independent consultants carrying a management consulting toolkit? Why can’t we better balance the two sides of this equation?Our answer to that question is Talent Response. Built through partnerships with MBA alumni associations and elite consulting firms, the Talent Response network is comprised of candidates specifically recruited to meet the needs of elite consulting firms. These individuals are independent by design, not by default. Over 80% of our network has earned MBAs from Top 15 schools, and the majority has experience managing project teams at Big Three and boutique consulting firms.Consulting firms that adopt this approach experience a steadier workload for full-time staff, lower attrition, and fewer lost or deferred projects.  The domain expertise of our professionals can also be leveraged to extend into adjacent practice areas. Our consultative approach – by consultants for consultants – ensures not just a skillset fit but also a cultural fit with the firm. Let's re-imagine consulting together.
