How quickly can I get a consultant?+
You will typically receive a curated shortlist within 24 hours of submitting your brief. For most requirements, we introduce two to three consultants with relevant experience, availability, and a clear explanation of why they fit your challenge.
How do you evaluate consultants?+
Every consultant completes a structured review process that includes identity verification, credential checks, reference checks, and a live evaluation conversation. We assess domain expertise, communication, judgement, and evidence of past outcomes. Fewer than 10% of applicants join the active network.
What does it cost?+
Pricing depends on the expertise required, consultant seniority, engagement model, and scope of work. After reviewing your brief, we provide clear commercial options before any commitment is made.
Can I start with a smaller engagement?+
Yes. Many engagements begin with a short diagnostic or scoping phase before moving into a larger project or retainer.
What happens if the consultant is not the right fit?+
If a fit issue emerges early in the engagement, we work with you to find an alternative. Our goal is a successful outcome, not forcing a match that is not working.
Do I need to handle contracts, invoicing, or compliance?+
No. Preconsultify manages contracts, invoicing, compliance coordination, and engagement administration.
Can consultants work on-site?+
Yes. Engagements can be remote, hybrid, or on-site depending on your requirements and consultant availability.
How does the Project Workspace work?+
Once an engagement begins, you and your consultant have access to a shared workspace for deliverables, documents, approvals, meeting notes, action items, and timesheets.
Is there a minimum engagement size?+
There is no formal minimum. Engagements range from short diagnostics to long-term transformation programmes.
How transparent is pricing?+
Commercial terms are agreed before work begins. You receive clear day rates, project fees, or retainer costs with no hidden platform charges.
How do you handle confidentiality?+
Every engagement includes confidentiality protections. Additional NDAs can be signed where required, and access to project information is limited to the teams directly involved.
What are the typical payment terms?+
Project engagements are typically milestone-based. Retainers are invoiced monthly, and time-based engagements are billed against approved timesheets.
