Excellent Home for Independent Consultants **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** David D. | President, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 29, 2021 **What do you like best about Business Talent Group?** The Business Talent Group is in an ideal place matching company needs with highly skilled and experienced independent consultants on demand. BTG is easy to deal with, has an excellent team in place, does good work in seeking assignments and has high standards of performance. **What do you dislike about Business Talent Group?** Have been a consultant through BTG since 2017 and have not found anything to dislike. **What problems is Business Talent Group solving and how is that benefiting you?** BTG has a presence and access to certain companies where I don't. Also, their continuous presence enables the continued identification of projects that I otherwise would not know about. Finally, they bring to the clients a full range of qualified consultants allowing the whole pool to effectively compete with the large - and far more expensive - consulting firms. ### 3. Projects worth working on **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Duncan T. | CEO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 28, 2021 **What do you like best about Business Talent Group?** Interim positions working on worthwhile projects with teams both junior and senior that make a difference to both the project and the businesses they work for **What do you dislike about Business Talent Group?** A low success rate in getting projects, many people competing and a significant downward pressure on daily rates **Recommendations to others considering Business Talent Group:** Ensure you have other sources of income as you will wait a long time, be prepared for pricing pressure, be specific in your expertise, general management is a commodity and not valued, the business has become much more about specific technical expertise. **What problems is Business Talent Group solving and how is that benefiting you?** Short term interim projects allowing me to build my real estate business, continue to be engaged in mainstream business issues ### 4. Strategic Consulting Engagements with Top Tier Clients **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Biotechnology | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 28, 2021 **What do you like best about Business Talent Group?** BTG is a very well recognized and well regarded brand; companies who use BTG know that their consultants are vetted and have substantial experience. As a result, BTG's consultants have the benefit of coming into an organization with a positive association. BTG works with outstanding clients and is able to source very interesting, strategic, meaningful consulting engagements. Compared to other consulting platforms, they offer among the highest quality engagements with a breadth of top tier companies. The work is often long term with the possibility for follow-on work, consultants are often enmeshed with the client in a true partnership, and the emphasis is on the quality of the engagement versus churning out a large quantity of engagements. The true value of BTG is in the high quality consulting engagements they are able to provide to their consutling network. In addition to the work they source, the BTG team is also incredibly accessible, helpful, and responsive as they coordinate the relationship between their consultants and the clients. **What do you dislike about Business Talent Group?** As with any third party, the consultant must adjust their hourly rate in order to allow for BTG's compensation. In addition, as someone who has taken the time to build and brand my own consulting business, I must leave behind my personal branding to serve as a BTG consulant. **Recommendations to others considering Business Talent Group:** Compared to other consulting platforms, BTG is higher quality and higher touch. They source a nice breadth of project types acrss a range of industries and the work is strategic and meaningful. **What problems is Business Talent Group solving and how is that benefiting you?** As an independent consultant, I am able to source some of my consulting business through my own network, but I may have gaps that I can fill by working with BTG. If I am unable to source my own work, I can pitch for a BTG project and, if successful, that engagement can fill a gap in my consulting portfolio. As a result, I can spend less time selling business and more time doing the consulting work. In addition, there are companies who can only work with consultants who are on their qualified vendor list and BTG can provide a point of entry for those companies. ### 5. The Gold Standard for Unbundled Consulting **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Human Resources | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 26, 2021 **What do you like best about Business Talent Group?** The ability to interview and select consultants myself; pricing without massive overhead; work quality **What do you dislike about Business Talent Group?** SoW sign off is sometimes too delayed for our rushed timelines **What problems is Business Talent Group solving and how is that benefiting you?** Under-resourced team and lack of executive facing talent; Have achieved huge gains in acquired employee satisfaction scores and have reduced acquired employee attrition ### 6. High quality projects and clients, great team to work with. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Marina K. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 01, 2020 **What do you like best about Business Talent Group?** I enjoy working with the BTG team. I have met many of the principals in person, and it's always been an easy collaboration. Projects are high-quality and a good fit for my experience. A wide network of consultants helps us round out teams with almost any niche expertise. I do a lot of global work, so I also appreciate the frequently global scope of the projects. **What do you dislike about Business Talent Group?** I have not experienced a downside so far (over 7 years). I have the flexibility of taking on BTG projects depending on the rest of my workload. Most consultants are expected to have their own workstreams anyway, so not relying exclusively on BTG for new projects. **What problems is Business Talent Group solving and how is that benefiting you?** 1 - I am maximizing my time on project work instead of on business development. 2 - It allows me exposure to new clients and industries, and helps to keep me up-to-date on industry developments. 3 - Expands my circle of other consultants. ### 7. Our Partnership with BTG **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Emily G. | Strategic Accounts & Specialty Practices Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 29, 2020 **What do you like best about Business Talent Group?** Our dedicated partners at BTG have truly become a part of the fabric of Heidrick & Struggles. They are knowledgable, collaborative, responsive, and overall a great complement to the high-level of work that clients have come to expect from H&S. With their capabilities ranging from on-demand talent to special projects and with their comprehensive database of freelance talent, together we have become a truly dynamic team. **What do you dislike about Business Talent Group?** Heidrick has a number of offerings across our search and consulting business lines; sometimes I fear that BTG gets caught in the shuffle and is not always given the attention it warrants. I also feel that we at Heidrick need to be better about understanding BTG's full capabilities, which go way beyond that of "on-demand talent." **What problems is Business Talent Group solving and how is that benefiting you?** BTG has helped our internal teams help our clients in spaces where we previously may not have been able to. An example: an existing client was looking to build out their human resources team and needed help getting the team off the ground; BTG was able to bring in experts in the space to move that company's efforts forward quickly and efficiently, with great results. ### 8. Interesting projects with leading clients **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Management Consulting | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 07, 2020 **What do you like best about Business Talent Group?** I worked on a number projects sourced by BTG, ranging from one-person project lasting few weeks to multiple workstreams collaborating several months. Initially, I worked on my core sector healthcare and over time I had the pleasure to work on new sectors such as industrials. The topics were very interesting (M&A, updating 5 year targets with senior country leadership, ...) and when needed, I could access the industry experts and visual designers from BTG and produce very high quality deliverables. **What do you dislike about Business Talent Group?** So far my experience was positive. The daily rate is compatible with what I normally charge in Germany, which I really appreciate. **Recommendations to others considering Business Talent Group:** Can fully recommend. Even in tough times, I received speedy support **What problems is Business Talent Group solving and how is that benefiting you?** - acquisition targets - product launch - competitive benchmarking - business unit launch ### 9.

Their strength is in their network of vetted and qualified talent as well as thought leadership and partnership in developing solutions. **What do you dislike about Business Talent Group?** Business Talent Group are very disciplined in their focus areas and "sweet spot" of consulting and executive talent. This is a strength of BTG for organizations seeking specific point and niche consulting talent. **What problems is Business Talent Group solving and how is that benefiting you?** Access to independent talent, better scoping of consulting services, agility in scaling up and down, alternative cost models ### 10.
