Two BST consultants were engaged full time to manage a specified list of suppliers as part of the firms’ Sourcing Team. Each consultant was integrated into the firms’ teams and proceeded according to the methodologies utilized inhouse. As an extra benefit, our consultants had access to BST’s senior management who provided benchmarking information and negotiation strategy for the individual suppliers our consultants managed. The engagement lasted over four years at which time both consultants were hired as full-time staff. BST also provided another on-site consultant to handle the re-engineering of all Exchange-related contracts to ensure that all terms and conditions were being met internally and any modified exchange requirements were contained within the agreements. As part of this process, we assisted the firm in obtaining the PEAR product to assist in keeping up to date with the changing Exchange requirements.
Staff Augmentation
Clients are often in need of market data specialists to augment their existing staff, either for a specific project or as an ongoing member of the internal team. BST’s access to experienced professionals in this area enables us to provide staff when required.
Given our experience in the market data and information industries, BST has access to a global framework of resources that are available as short-term or long-term consultants for a project or staff augmentation, or as a fulltime member of the internal team.
SHORT TERM CONSULTING
Typically, BST consultants in this category on selected as part of a finite project, with specific goals and objectives to be delivered in a defined time frame. However, if a client requires a short-term consultant for a temporary reason, BST has consultants to fit these requirements in all aspects of market data and information.
LONG TERM CONSULTING
BST consultants are available to fill all roles within the market data and/ or information industry as part of staff augmentation requirements. We seek to match the client with an individual(s) who possesses the proper skill set as well as other qualifications that lend itself to the client’s specific environment.
RETAINED SEARCH
OR CONTINGENCY
BST has been very successful matching candidates with specified roles; our record of placement is extremely high as our level of understanding of these roles far surpasses that of a generalized search firm. Previous clients note that our ability to provide resumes/CV’s matching the precise qualifications presented saves them a lot of time and aggravation weeding through piles of submissions from either other agencies or job banks
