Consulting & Talent

The right people for your project,
from one expert to a full team.

HarKing Vertical deploys business, functional and technical consultants, onshore and offshore. You work with experienced people, one named HKV lead answers to you for the whole engagement, and we stay to support you after go-live.

01Overview

People for the need you have today

Some projects need one specialist for a single release. Others need a business analyst, a team of functional consultants and a project manager for a year or more. We deploy resources for both, and for everything in between.

We are a boutique consultancy. You work closely with experienced people, and a named HKV lead stays your contact from the first conversation to the final handover. We send you a short list of consultants we would put our own name behind, chosen for your systems, your team and your timeline.

Our consultants work onshore, alongside your people, or offshore from across our global presence. You can mix the two. When your project goes live, the same people can stay on to support it.

Three ways to work with us.

01

Embedded Experts

  • You meet and approve each consultant before they start
  • Regular check-ins with your HKV lead
  • Scale up or down as the work changes
02

Delivery Teams

HarKing Vertical builds and runs the team, and owns the outcome we agree with you.

  • A blended team of project or program manager, business, functional and technical consultants
  • Agreed scope, milestones and reporting from the first week
  • Change management and user adoption built into the plan
  • Knowledge transfer to your people before we step back
03

Ongoing Support

After go-live, people who know your system keep it running and improving, from onshore teams, offshore teams or both.

  • Onshore support in your time zone
  • Offshore teams for extended and round-the-clock coverage
  • Enhancements, upgrades and user help in one arrangement
  • Continuity from the people who built it

04Process

How it works

Every engagement runs through one named HKV lead. You will know that person from the first call, and they will know your business by the time anyone starts.

  1. Step 1: A first conversation

    You talk with an experienced HKV lead about the work, your team and your timing.

  2. Step 2: A clear brief

    Together we agree on the roles, the skills, the onshore and offshore mix, and how we will both judge success.

  3. Step 3: People you choose

    We put forward consultants who fit the brief. You meet them and decide who joins your team before anyone starts.

  4. Step 4: Delivery with check-ins

    Your consultants work as part of your team. Your HKV lead checks in with you and with them, and acts early when something needs to change.

  5. Step 5: Knowledge transfer

    Before the work ends, we document what we built and train your people to run it. If you want us to stay, our support teams carry on from there.

05Onshore and offshore

One team across time zones

Onshore consultants work close to your team and in your time zone. They run the workshops, design sessions and decisions that go better in the same room.

Offshore consultants extend your working hours and add capacity for build, testing and support. One HKV lead plans the work across both, so you deal with one partner and one plan.

  • OnshoreYour time zone, on site when it helps

  • OffshoreExtended hours and added capacity

  • BlendedOne plan and one HKV lead across both

FAQs

Your questions,
answered.

Still have a question?

Let's connect

What kinds of consultants can HarKing Vertical provide?

Business, functional and technical consultants, custom developers, business intelligence and Power Apps specialists, data governance analysts, and project and program managers. We can place one person or build a blended team.

Can we start with one consultant and add more later?

Yes. Many engagements start with one specialist for a defined piece of work. Your HKV lead plans for growth from the start, so adding people later builds on what is already there.

What is the difference between onshore and offshore consultants?

Onshore consultants work close to you and in your time zone. Offshore consultants work from other parts of our global presence, which extends your working hours and your capacity. You can choose either one or a mix, managed as one team by one HKV lead.

How soon can a consultant start?

It depends on the role and the skills involved. We give you a realistic start date in our first conversation and tell you early if anything changes.

Do we meet the consultants before they start?

Yes. You interview the people we propose, and nobody starts without your approval. Your HKV lead stays involved once the work begins.

What happens when the engagement ends?

We plan knowledge transfer from the start: documentation, walkthroughs and training for your team. If you want ongoing help, our onshore and offshore support teams can take over from there.
