A growing number of experienced professionals are opting out of the traditional corporate ladder for a segment of their careers, in favor of independence.

We know the best in this class. When these independents bring their peak-of-career skill and experience directly to project work, they get work done with fresh eyes, focused vigor, and clear goals -- without the distractions of extensive corporate management tasks and career ladders.

By working independently, top-tier talent gets control over their careers and their lives, the opportunity for high-level impact, and the excitement of working in a variety of client settings.

At the same time, more companies recognize that independent professionals can be a critical asset -- adding high-level capacity in a targeted way. Until now, however, connecting to the right independent talent has been a haphazard experience, and frustrating for both sides. The market for flexible talent in other arenas -- such as IT and accounting -- is well-established. But there has been no similar marketplace for senior-level independent business talent. When companies seek such professionals, they generally spend a lot of time "networking" to find the right person, and often come up short. Talent, meanwhile, who typically love their projects but dislike "selling themselves," likewise invest enormous time and energy simply looking for the next project. Both sides end up feeling there has to be a better way. Business Talent Group is the better way.

We offer clients a choice of world-class, rigorously screened independent professionals -- without the need to search. And we offer our talent a rich variety of engagements, with the flexibility, control, and support they desire.
