Traditional talent acquisition models are broken

A global talent shortage is set to cost businesses

$8.5
trillion
in unrealized revenues by 2030
Why? Traditional talent acquisition methods—consulting firms, staffing agencies, and full-time recruitment —are inflexible, costly, and slow to adapt. In today’s uncertain economy, these outdated models leave leaders stuck in a wait-and-watch approach, risking missed opportunities and lost market share.

FAQ

How do you vet your talent?
We follow a rigorous two-tier vetting process to ensure you get access to the world’s leading independent consultants: 

Tier 1 -- Application & Review: Potential independent experts submit detailed profiles showcasing their experience, and certifications, and take our proprietary EQ Assessment. Our team reviews each application, validating expertise and assessing their hard and soft skills.

Tier 2 -- Project-Based Verification: Once in the network, experts undergo an additional screening for each project. Our team evaluates technical and soft skills, availability, and fit—ensuring clients get a curated selection of 2–4 highly qualified candidates.
How does pricing work?
Our approach to pricing is value-based. We consider a few variables, such as the project scope, skill sets needed (including hard and soft skills), years of experience, project duration, and bandwidth expectations. You receive one fee from Graphite, and we handle all expert payments compliantly on your behalf.
What does your average engagement look like?
Graphite projects typically last around five months, with duration driven by project complexity, urgency, and budget. Many clients engage experts for extended periods to support strategic initiatives.
Can we hire for hybrid/in-person work?
Yes. Share your work-model expectations, and we will curate and present only the most relevant experts.
