Question 1

How is this different from a staffing agency?

Accepted Answer

Staffing agencies optimize for fill rate. We optimize for outcomes. Our consultants are vetted on delivery track record, not resume keywords. They're backed by the Rockmere consulting practice, which means they have peer support, methodology, and senior advisors to call when they hit a hard problem.

Question 2

Can we hire your consultants permanently?

Accepted Answer

Yes. After a 6-month minimum engagement we'll talk conversion. Standard conversion fee applies. Several of our largest clients started in Talent Solutions and converted people from the pod.

Question 3

Do you provide offshore or nearshore talent?

Accepted Answer

We have a mixed team with US, EMEA, and LATAM based consultants. We match talent to the engagement based on time-zone overlap, security and compliance requirements, and client preference. We do not run pure-offshore engagements. Every pod has at least one Rockmere lead in the client's primary time zone.

Question 4

What's the minimum engagement?

Accepted Answer

Three months for an individual placement. Six months for a managed pod. Project ownership is fixed-scope by definition. We do not do shorter than three months. There's not enough time for a senior consultant to add real value and we won't put our name behind that.

Question 5

Can we use Talent Solutions for AI, SAFe®, Agile, or Lean transformations specifically?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and it's our most common engagement model. Many clients start with a Rockmere consulting engagement and move to a Talent Solutions managed pod to operate the transformation post-launch.
