From plugging urgent gaps to delivering end-to-end transformation, our products are designed to solve real-world problems with speed, precision, and flexibility.
Here’s a taster of the proven solutions we’ve deployed across our client base, including our popular SOW models, Virtual Bench, and more.
Statement of Work (SOW)
A fully scoped, outcome-led delivery solution for time-sensitive or transformation-critical projects. Our SOW model gives you access to pre-aligned expert teams, milestone tracking, and measurable ROI - without the inflated cost of traditional consultancies. We take responsibility for delivery; you stay focused on results.
People: Connecting Talent with Opportunity
A streamlined, flexible version of our SOW model designed for short-term or single-role project delivery. Ideal for clients with an MSP in place, SOW Lite provides control over talent selection while enabling project spend to be drawn from CapEx budgets. Pay only for work delivered, reduce compliance risks, and move faster.
Virtual Bench
A pre-qualified bench of ready-to-deploy contractors matched to your skill, budget, and availability requirements. Access a curated pool of pre-screened experts on demand - view CVs, rates, and availability 24/7 via our live portal. Scale up or down at pace, with zero compromise on quality.
Talent Insights
Data-driven intelligence to power smarter workforce decisions. From salary benchmarking and competitor analysis to talent availability and market mapping, our insight services help you plan ahead, reduce hiring risk, and stay ahead of the talent curve. Use it to build your next strategic workforce plan or to refine project hiring.
Outsourced Talent Team
Extend your internal capability with a dedicated, embedded recruitment partner. Our outsourced talent team model delivers all the benefits of an in-house team - without the overheads. Perfect for scale-ups, transformations, or periods of high growth where continuity, brand alignment, and delivery speed are critical.
