Lyghtning is a technology platform, on which Independent Consultants and Client Organizations are matched to deliver project based work within IT departments.
Why Lyghtning Strikes
Yesterday, qualification measures taken to recruit, staff or contract Independent Consultants lacked intelligence, resulting in wasted time and opportunity.
Today, Lyghtning provides a self-service platform for both sides of the contracting equation. The platform utilizes specific data points to match the skills of an Independent Consultant to a specific IT project need within a Client Organization. Through Lyghtning, Clients connect with the right subject matter experts to deliver IT projects based on real-time needs, resulting in cost effective engagements when compared to traditional consulting firms. Lyghtning also provides Consultants flexibility in project work, location and schedule, which allows for skillset diversity and experience elevation while maximizing earnings - Consultants are paid for every hour worked!
Consulting. Differently.
The History
For years, staffing, recruiting and job board placement for contingent and independent contractor resources has operated with little change.
The process is exhausting, expensive and often inaccurate.
Unevolved Sourcing
The linear fashion in which resources are contracted is flat and unevolved. Specifically, in the current state, a hiring manager identifies a need. Next, an Account Manager and/or Recruiter (typically non-subject matter experts) sources the candidate. Thereafter, a generic description is placed on a Job Board or Classified Ad to query the public at large for resumes. As such, there are limited pre-qualification measures taken prior to the hiring manager reviewing candidates resulting a waste of time and money.
Cost
The traditional staffing model is expensive for consultants and companies alike. As outlined above, the legacy process results in unqualified resources moving through the hiring process without proper vetting. Even still, clients are forced to pay a premium for the service.
Today and Beyond
Data (Matching)
Lyghtning is an innovative technology platform that utilizes relevant datasets to match the most appropriate Independent Consultant to a specific IT project or role based on Client requirements.
Platform
Lyghtning technology is thoughtfully designed for value to be realized on both sides of the contracting equation. Independent Consultants maximize their earnings and are paid for every hour worked. Clients pay for the most qualified talent based on market value.
Matching is just the beginning of the Lyghtning capabilities. The platform has a back-end system that facilitates the execution of all project documentation (starting with the Statement of Work). The back-end system can also track/invoice/pay on all hours worked, manage disputes to ensure quality by utilizing a rating system to keep both Independent Consultants and Clients accountable.
With Lyghtning, projects are staffed and executed in an efficient and cost effective fashion.
