- A single specialist working independently
- A small team collaborating on an initiative
- Multiple professionals contributing across different workstreams
4. What work style best suits your needs?
Beyond technical skills, work style plays a crucial role in success. Do you need someone who is:
- A consensus builder who aligns stakeholders

- Industry-specific compliance or regulatory experience
6. What is the expected work arrangement?
Many independent professionals excel in remote or hybrid environments, but some roles may require on-site presence. Determine what works best for your business:
- Fully remote
- Hybrid (some in-person collaboration)
- On-site at your location
7. What time commitment is required?
Do you need part-time expertise over a longer period, or full-time availability for a short-term engagement? Clearly defining the commitment ensures alignment from the start:
- Fractional (a few hours or days per week)
- Interim (full-time for a defined period)
- Project-based (until completion of specific deliverables)
