STANDARD ONBOARDING PROCESS
Week 1. Sourcing and building a consultant pool
We take the time to understanding the client’s requirements. Then, we create the talent strategy in collaboration with the client and build a potential consultant pool.
Week 2. Screening and interviews
We define the candidate’s journey based on the client's requirements. We perform soft skills and cultural match screening, English screening, and a technical interview. We can also add a technical, behavioral and any other assessment to guarantee the best fit for the role.
Week 3. Client approval
Consultants that have passed the screening process are submitted to the client. If the client wants to perform additional interviews, we recommend only one additional interaction to keep up with the market dynamics and reduce the risk associated with process delays. Timely feedback on the consultants presented and evaluated is essential.
Week 4. Contract offer
Once the client approves the consultant, the talent team sends the offer and notifies the client when accepted. Most of the time, a two week notice is standard. We can perform background checks for all newcomers as part of the process. We will also notify the client about any vacations or plans that might have an impact on the client's operations.
Week 5. Onboarding process
Our onboarding process happens during the first day of consulting engagement. If any special arrangement is needed for the onboarding, the Engagement Manager will coordinate with the client.
A PRE-ASSESSED TALENT POOL
We have identified specific market demands and buying behavior to predict resourcing needs and accelerate the delivery timelines. We rely on our pre-assessed talent pool of approved candidates. This strategy allows us to cut down the delivery timelines to three weeks.
The timeline and process are as follows:
Week 1. Based on the client’s requirements, we select top consultants from our pre-assessed talent pool and submit them for a client review.
Week 2. Client approval and consultant contract offer, similar to the standard process.
Week 3. New consultant is onboarded, as per our standard onboarding process.
A DEMAND-BASED BENCH
As a result of our pre-assessed talent pool strategy, we can extend a consultant contract offer to the top performers in our bench program in less than four weeks.
OUR DELIVERY MODELS
CASE STUDY
PROBLEM A private equity team within a family office made investments in large scale infrastructure projects. Neither the family office nor the portfolio company had dedicated technology staff. In time, the need for portfolio monitoring, basic reporting and data management became overwhelming. The general lack of cohesion on day-to-day operations resulted in missed opportunities, stress and suboptimal decisions. The management team was not getting timely or accurate reporting until six months after month-end.
SOLUTION Being familiar with our services, the firm used AlphaMille to assess its current infrastructure and advise on the optimal technology team model. The hybrid team was created with both onsite and offshore presence. The team set up an integrated data warehouse solution to track and report on cash flows, allowing the firm to better understand monthly spend and maximize investment potential. The services also included cybersecurity, with the goal of absolute discretion, privacy, and security of data. Data was encrypted at rest and in transit, and stored in a secure, SOC-2 compliant, commercial data center. A dedicated separate network was used to protect data, complete with strict access controls and vulnerability scanning.
