Matching business needs with freelance consultants' skills

We work with talented freelance consultants throughout the UK and abroad, at all levels, from junior executive to board director, from implementation to strategy, who have expertise in marketing and creative services.

Because we work with the best companies and assignments we are able to help you find the right match for your talent, for a range of scenarios. We are not a company that specialises in supplying a stream of "temps".

Here are some examples of why a company may want to hire our freelance consultants:

• To replace a key member of a team for a while - whether through holiday, sickness, maternity or sabbatical - experienced freelancers are used to provide interim cover.
• Helping with work overload - if a team is working ridiculously long hours, freelancers are often drafted in to help alleviate work pressure.
• Giving specialist input - a freelance consultant can be brought in, literally at the drop of a hat, to add valuable specialist skills that the company simply doesn't have.
• Providing Senior Interim Management - when a company is grappling with a problem bringing in a freelance consultant with senior experience and gravitas can make all the difference.
• Offering specialist training - freelancers with specialist knowledge can draw on their experience to train teams on a seminar or on-the-job basis.
• Finding the right person for a permanent job - freelancers can work on a freelance to permanent basis, often referred to as "temp to perm", allowing both parties to "try before you buy".

Through Xchangeteam freelance consultants can work on an individual or Bespoke Team basis.

Bespoke Teams

We hand-pick a multi-disciplinary team of freelance consultants with the skills tailored to a particular project or campaign. The teams are managed by an experienced Project Leader and may work virtually, at the clients' office or a mixture of the two.

How freelance consultants can work

One of the benefits of being part of a Bespoke Team is that it can help combat the "lonely road" feelings that can be associated with freelance working.

To many talented professionals, freelancing is a career in its own right and we offer a whole range of ways for you to work:

• on a short or long-term basis
• full-time, part-time, flexi-time or job-share
• to work on ad-hoc projects or ongoing programmes
• working from a company's office or from your own
