What separates a good consulting candidate from a great one? It’s rarely just a prestigious CV, a strong academic background or years of experience. The candidates who stand out in today’s market bring a combination of a few characteristics, such as: 🔴 Commercial thinking. 🔴 Adaptability. 🔴 Delivery experience. 🔴 Communication. 🔴 Curiosity. As AI takes on more analytical and repetitive work, the value of judgement, communication and problem-solving becomes even more important. The strongest candidates aren't necessarily those who know everything. They're the ones who can learn quickly, think commercially and create trust. 📩 Looking for your next consulting opportunity?

The distinction between permanent and interim hiring is becoming increasingly important. UK recruitment data showed temporary billings rising strongly through the summer, while permanent hiring began to stabilise in July after a prolonged period of decline. For businesses facing uncertainty, an interim consultant can provide the flexibility to bring in specialist expertise without making a long-term commitment. That can be particularly valuable when you need to: 🔴 Lead a transformation programme 🔴 Fill an unexpected leadership gap 🔴 Deliver a critical project quickly 🔴 Bring specialist expertise into the business 🔴 Build capability while deciding what the permanent structure should look like Permanent hiring, meanwhile, remains the stronger option when you're building long-term capability and leadership. 📩 Need help deciding which model works for your next hire?

The Future of Consulting Starts With Better Questions, and that's what we're exploring through our Future of Consulting Survey. We're asking consulting professionals to share their views on the trends, challenges and opportunities they expect to see over the next 3–5 years. We want to know: 🔴 Which skills will become more valuable? 🔴 How will AI change consulting roles? 🔴 What will clients expect from firms? 🔴 Which areas of consulting will grow? 🔴 How will the consultant career path evolve? Your perspective can help shape the conversation. 📩 Take part in our Future of Consulting Survey: https://lnkd.in/eS97qftG

AI is no longer something consultants can simply “keep an eye on”. According to PwC's 2026 AI Jobs Barometer, specialist AI job postings in the UK increased by 61%, while the average wage premium for workers with AI skills reached 34.2%. But there's an important distinction. Consulting firms don't simply need people who know how to use AI tools. They need people who understand where AI can create business value. That means being able to connect technology with: 🔴 Commercial strategy 🔴 Operating models 🔴 Customer experience 🔴 Process improvement 🔴 Data and decision-making For consultants, developing that combination of domain expertise + AI fluency could become one of the most valuable career investments of the next few years. 📩 Looking at how your skill set fits into the changing consulting market? Let's talk.

Is AI Changing Consulting or Just Raising the Bar? Over the past few months, the conversation around AI has shifted. The question is no longer "Will AI impact consulting?" It's "How will consultants create value alongside AI?" Recent industry research suggests firms are investing heavily in AI, but the biggest demand remains for consultants who can combine technology with critical thinking, stakeholder management, and commercial judgement. Rather than replacing consultants, AI is changing the skills that matter most. That's exactly why we're launching our Future of Consulting Report. We want to hear from consulting professionals across the industry. 🔴How do you think AI will reshape consulting? 🔴 Which skills will become more valuable? 🔴 What should firms be doing differently over the next 3–5 years? 📩 Complete our Future of Consulting Survey and help shape one of the industry's most comprehensive reports: https://lnkd.in/dXm36TGb #FutureOfConsulting #TarkaTalent
