Unique client needs often require our consultants to work in a mode where the client is accountable for the solution work-streams. In these situations, finding the right person to fill open staffing needs requires more than just cursory knowledge of a required skill set. When we're working with our clients, we strive to know more about specific requirements - including both key skills and secondary capabilities that will enhance productivity. Each client and each role also brings intangibles - history and culture - that if taken into account will improve the match. In order to achieve that more detailed level of understanding of client needs, we work to develop close relationships with our clients and really understand the challenges they're facing. We describe this process as "Strategic Resourcing".

As we build our understanding of clients' needs, we engage our world-class recruiting team to quickly find the best people. A combination of call-center based lead generation, connection with standard web-based resource forums, and extensive personal networks and active recruiting capabilities demonstrate that world-class effectiveness. Our model is also efficient – when appropriate, Benchmark Consulting utilizes a blend of US resources and nearshore delivery which keep our costs down and allow us to provide competitive value and pass along those savings.

When appropriate, we take an extra formal step to ensure the people we're providing have the right skills. Our capability testing program utilizes one-on-one sessions, led by other SMEs for each respective skill set to verify technical capabilities and test communications skills.
