The staffing industry is at a pivotal moment. In a world where AI is rewriting the rules, telling us we can do more with less (without showing us how just yet), the future of IT staffing has never been more uncertain.
A major shift is underway. Around the world, staffing firms are evolving into consulting and project-based businesses.
If you’re not already moving in that direction, now’s the time to start. Over the next year, firms that transition from staffing vendors to consulting partners will unlock higher billable rates, scalable recurring revenue, and valuations that catch the eye of private equity. In short, they’ll deliver the tangible results clients are demanding—while everyone else is still selling effort—and future-proof their business as the industry becomes more unpredictable.
Join Projectworks CEO, Mark Orttung, who scaled Nexient from $30M to over $140M, transforming it from a staffing firm into a full-scale software consultancy. Mark will break down the three stages of transitioning from staffing to consulting—what it really takes, what to expect, and what to avoid—through the lessons, turning points, and missteps that shaped his own journey.
You’ll walk away with a practical playbook for:
- Recognizing when (and how) to make the leap from staffing to consulting
- Structuring your offerings around outcomes instead of individuals
- Positioning your firm for scalable growth and premium valuation in the AI era
