Genesis10, a New York City-based leader in business and technology consulting, has partnered with HotGigs Inc., an innovator in web-based contract workforce solutions, to build Genesis10 Select  a customized and secure online portal that facilitates interaction between Genesis10's clients and consultants. "Genesis10 Select is an extension of the Genesis10 brand that will deliver private, secured, online access for our clients to view a select group of consultant profiles," said Jim Kelly, Genesis10 managing partner and director of business development. "Over 70 percent of managers responsible for procuring project resources are not only conducting research online, they are procuring consultants directly online because of the immediate access to available resources and the ease of the transaction," said Tom Stewart, Genesis10 director of online business and head of the Genesis10 Select initiative. "Genesis10 Select will provide a different experience for clients and consultants than the traditional "exchange" services on the marketplace today," said Stewart. Genesis10 will leverage its reputation for consistently finding the right program and project managers, business analysts and technology consultants for the project by adding the ease of online selection through Genesis10 Select to its already successful recruiting and delivery engine. "Genesis10 Select is on the leading edge of the rapidly changing consulting industry by providing clients this on-demand portal which gives them instant access to their consultant portfolio, so they can proactively search, preview profiles, rates, and select team members in advance," said HotGigs co-founder and Chief Gigster Doug Berg. "This is an excellent use of HotGigs ContractCentral platform which allows companies and firms to manage their contract workers." "Genesis10 is changing the game, and will differentiate themselves significantly from other firms by providing clients with proactive access to their consultant profiles, and empowering them to select the resources they want, versus traditional firms that only show clients the limited consultant profiles they select for them to view," said Berg, a long-time staffing industry executive, and web entrepreneur.
