How To
How can you find the best consultants?
It is important to first ask yourself what you expect from a consultant when searching for one. Before you begin searching for a consultant to help you, you should be clear on your expectations. It is important to make a list with all the requirements you have for a consultant. This list could include technical expertise, project management skills, communication skills and availability. Once you have identified your requirements, you might consider asking friends and colleagues to recommend you. Ask your friends or colleagues about any negative experiences they have had with consultants, and compare their recommendations with yours. Research online if you don’t already have recommendations. There are many websites that allow users to leave feedback about their previous work experiences, such as LinkedIn and Facebook, Angie's List or Indeed. Look at the ratings and comments left by others and use this data as a starting point for finding potential candidates. Finally, once you've got a shortlist of potential candidates, make sure to contact them directly and arrange an interview. Talking through your requirements during the interview is a good idea. Ask them questions about how they can assist you in achieving those goals. It doesn't matter if they were recommended to your company; all that matters is that they are able to understand your business goals and show how they can help.
