How To
How to Find the Best Consultant
First, ask yourself what kind of consultant you are looking for. Before you look for someone, you need to be clear about your expectations. It is important to make a list with all the requirements you have for a consultant. These could include professional expertise, technical skills and project management abilities, communication skills, availability, and other things. After you have outlined your requirements, you might want to ask friends and colleagues for recommendations. Ask them if they had any bad experiences with consultants previously and see how their recommendations compare with yours. If you don't have any recommendations, try doing some research online. There are many websites, such as LinkedIn, Facebook, Angie's List, Indeed, etc., where people post reviews of their previous work experiences. Take a look at comments and ratings from others, and use that data to find potential candidates. Once you have narrowed down your list, reach out to potential candidates and set up an interview. During the interview, you should talk through your requirements and ask them to explain how they can help you achieve those goals. It doesn’t matter if the person was recommended to you; it matters that they understand your business goals, and can show you how they can help.
