01 — What it looks like

Your roster, live to demand

List your available consultants once, with real skills and real rates. They surface in matches the moment a role fits — and engagements run through your entity, on your paper, not around you.

02 — The problem

What's actually hard about running a bench

01 — The guessYour bench is your P&L, and your utilisation number is a spreadsheet somebody updates on Fridays.

02 — The gapYour strongest consultants sit idle between engagements, and idle senior people are the most expensive thing you own.

03 — The ceilingYou compete on relationships, and relationships don't scale past the number of meetings in your week.

03 — The product

What you get

Six things on the platform that exist specifically for agencies.

01

A live bench roster

List consultants once with skills, rates and free-from dates. They surface automatically the moment a role fits.

Roster
02

White-label delivery

Present network talent as your own team, and your own consultants under your own brand. Clients see you.

Branding
03

Markup control

You set what the client pays over what the consultant earns. The spread is yours and it isn't published.

Commercials
04

Client management

Shared mailboxes, credential sharing and per-client workspaces, so an account survives one person going on holiday.

Workspace
05

Time tracking and invoicing

A desktop tracker feeding invoices you don't have to assemble by hand at month end.

Billing
06

Contracts on your paper

Engagements run through your entity. We introduce the demand; we don't step between you and the client.

Contracts run through your entity. You keep the client relationship.

“Two of our architects went from bench to billing in the same fortnight. We hadn't pitched either placement.”

05 — Honestly

Is this for you?

We'd rather lose you here than three weeks from now.

This fits if

  • You have a bench of vetted senior consultants
  • You want engagements on your own paper
  • You can keep availability genuinely current

This doesn't if

  • You're a body shop competing purely on rate
  • Your consultants are subcontracted from elsewhere
  • You can't commit to keeping the roster accurate

06 — Questions

Asked by agencies

Do we lose the client relationship?

No. Contracts run through your entity and the client stays yours. We introduce demand; we don't step between you and it.

Can we white-label?

Yes, in both directions — present network talent as your team, and your own consultants under your brand.

What does it cost?

A placement fee on matched engagements only. No listing fee, and no charge for keeping consultants on the bench.

How do you vet an agency?

We look at the agency's own track record and then spot-check the roster. Both have to hold up — a strong roster at a weak agency doesn't pass.

Can we list someone who's booked?

Yes, with a free-from date. They surface for roles starting after it.
