Why BenchBee? Revolutionising resource management in IT consulting

Imagine balancing multiple projects, urgently needing a specialist, while watching valuable skills on the bench go unused. You’re not alone. Resource management in IT consulting is a complex dance of supply and demand, often leaving firms struggling to hit the right rhythm.

The resource management dilemma

The challenges are stark:

• A survey by Hays conducted in Jan’23 found that 94% of employers looking for tech talent encountered a skills shortage in the previous year. BenchBee directly addresses this by connecting firms through a trusted network, making niche expertise accessible without recruitment hassles.
• Optimal resource utilisation rates hover between 70-80%, a target many firms miss.
• Overcommitted resources and constant changes affecting staff assignments are among the top pain points for IT and PMO leaders.

Traditional approaches, often relying on spreadsheets and rigid staffing models, fall short.. Just as bees perform an intricate dance to communicate the location of valuable resources to their hive, BenchBee orchestrates a seamless exchange of talent within the IT consulting ecosystem. BenchBee is set to transform how consultancies identify, share, and leverage their most valuable asset: their people.
