WHY WE ARE DIFFERENT

Agilar is a non-profit cooperative of independent professionals.

We are radically different from other consulting organizations in many ways:

• Our goal is to get the best possible jobs for our members.
• We want our members to make money, not the organization itself.
• We have very low overhead: no sales force, no management, no shareholders.
• And very low risk: no employees, almost no expenses.

All of the above means Agilar can take an extremely small markup on top of consultant's rates. A small markup means almost no middle man. A win-win scenario for both clients and consultants.

We offer industry rates to the end customer, while our consultants are getting paid more; or lower-than-industry rates to the customer, while the consultant is getting paid the same. It's the consultant who sets his or her price, so Agilar can't really decide which approach will be taken. But you can be sure that one of the following is true: either you are getting a very good consultant at a very low price, or a very happy and motivated one at standard market price. Either case, you win.

We also work under transparent conditions, both for the client and for the consultant. Everybody agrees up front how much the customer will pay, how much the consultant will get and how much the difference for Agilar will be.

By hiring an Agilar consultant, you get the most highly-qualified professionals, at the lowest possible price . And they get paid much more than they would in the open market by working through a regular consulting company. Plus, nobody is eternally making money off their hard work just by having placed them (something independent consultants just hate). So consultants are extremely motivated and the engagement is sustainable in the long term. Everybody wins.
