This ensures that our consulting partners are provided with end-to-end support both with their client organizations and in their business operations.

We extend offers to successful candidates and manage their seamless and engaging onboarding which entails three dimensions: the contractual elements (e.g., agreements, policy acknowledgment), the
technical elements (e.g., IT equipment, data storage and sharing), and the administrative elements (e.g.,
expenses, medical insurance).
