Soft Skills There are a handful of 'soft skills' which are of critical importance when fulfilling a Consultant role. For example; * Effective - a Consultant is able to "make sh*t happen". They are not someone who finds reasons why something didn't happen. They constantly find ways round obstacles, gain traction and get things done. * Accountable & Humble - much like a professional athlete, you recognise that you hold the responsibility for your performance at work. The ego is left at the door. Consultants are able to look inward, reflect and constantly identify areas for improvement. * Polished Delivery - a Senior Consultant will capable of consistently producing highly polished client deliverables, relatively autonomously. Interview Process We operate differently. No long drawn out recruitment processes - we generally can get candidates through our process (from START to FINISH) within 10 days.
