Simple, quick, and effective.
The thing is, the future is already here.
There’s even a term for it: Fractional Consulting
Organisations hire subject matter experts for either short-term or l0ng-term commitments, whatever suits.
More and more, companies are looking for professionals to deliver a micro-shot of Procurement expertise. Or, as we call it, an Hourly.
For you, a Procurement gig is an espresso-sized assignment you can easily handle without any further preparation, outside the hours of your permanent employment.
You build a rapport and it opens the door for a longer term engagements.
The client has a specific need. You have the knowledge to deliver. And SmartBuyer makes sure the two of you meet.
You can become available for assignments only when it suits you.
Client opportunities can find you, through your SmartBuyer profile.
What starts as hourly consultancy can evolve to project delivery
