The problem

Why do companies hesitate on consulting marketplaces?

Consulting is bought on trust and relevance: has this consultant solved my problem, in my industry, at my scale. Profiles that read like CVs and generic categories cannot answer that, so buyers default to firms they already know. Growth comes from verifiable expertise and pages built around business problems.

Do you work with interim executive platforms?

Yes. Interim and fractional executive marketplaces follow the same problem-led approach.
