ConsultingDirect - The People Auction

With ConsultingDirect businesses can get better talent, rates and markups. This tool was developed to bridge the gap between talented professionals and the companies that want to hire them. Through ConsultingDirect, nextSource provides access to our Registry of Certified Consultants (ROCC), a pool of pre-screened and pre-qualified applicants who will bid in a reverse-auction for open positions.

ROCC members can bid on employment opportunities and enjoy the freedom of naming their own hourly rate, annual salary or project fee while the company benefits from a competitive environment.

As an employer in search of qualified candidates, businesses face the challenge of not only identifying and securing high-quality talent, but also appropriately managing the employment needs and performance of their resources. Whether your staffing needs are for direct (permanent) hires or consultants, ConsultingDirect offers a full range of products and services designed to make the hiring, payment, compliance and management process straightforward and cost-effective.

How Registry of Certified Consultants Works

The ROCC is more than just a job board. nextSource provides the value-added service through reference checking, pre-screening, interview scheduling and skill matching. We take the guess work out of the hiring process.

The ROCC is the most dynamic way to acquire talent at the most competitive pay rates or salaries. When users post a job opening in ConsultingDirect, it is automatically sent to all ROCC members whose skill sets match those specified in the posting. Members then have the ability to view job openings and place a bid. Employers can then review bids and arrange interviews via a dedicated ROCC Career Broker.

As an incentive to complete assignments and maintain membership status, ROCC members who complete a consulting assignment receive a profit-sharing bonus.
