How do we get our talent? We’re flexible. We hire consultants who are at the top of their game, but want to work 3 days instead of 5. For example, parents who are coming back from maternity/paternity leave, or seasoned consultants and directors who wish to spend more time with their family. As a result, happy employees, healthy families, and improved service for clients!
