About one person a year
We hire about one person a year and we are not always hiring. When we are, it is almost never somebody who has only ever been a consultant.
Because a target on hours is a target on the wrong thing, and every consultancy that has one knows it. An adviser measured on days sold has a quiet reason to find a second engagement in every first one, and a quiet reason not to say that a piece of work should stop. We would rather not have that pressure sitting under every conversation, and the cost of not having it is that we grow slowly.
Because the useful thing in a room with an owner is usually not a framework. It is having once been the person who had to make the roster work with two people off, or who had to tell somebody their job was changing, or who took the call about the delivery that did not arrive. That is not something anybody can be taught in a training week, and it is the difference between advice that lands and advice that is technically correct.
There is no application form and no tracking system. An e-mail with something you have written in it is worth more than a résumé, and it will be answered by a person.
Send it to consulting@bestdealwebdesign.com. Something you have written — anything, about anything — is worth more than a résumé, because most of what this firm sells arrives as writing and it is the one skill that cannot be established in an interview.
This is a demonstration website. This is a demonstration website. Woodside Management Partners is not a real firm, no enquiry sent from this site reaches anybody, and the telephone number is a placeholder. It was built to show what a small professional firm gets for a fixed price.

The assessment takes about four minutes and gives you a written summary of what your answers suggest and which engagement addresses each thing. It is indicative and not professional advice, and it is a better opening than a blank contact form. If you would rather skip it, the telephone works and the first meeting is ninety minutes and free.
